Rachel Hollis has seen it too often: women not living into their full potential. They feel a tugging on their hearts for something more, but they’re afraid of embarrassment, of falling short of perfection, of not being enough. In Girl, Stop Apologizing, number-one New York Times best-selling author and founder of a multimillion-dollar media company, Rachel Hollis sounds a wake-up call. She knows that many women have been taught to define themselves in light of other people - whether as wife, mother, daughter, or employee....

When it comes to the “hard seasons” of life—the death of a loved one, divorce, loss of a job—transformation seems impossible when grief and uncertainty dominate your days. Especially when, as Didn’t See that Coming reveals, no one asks to have their future completely rearranged for them. But, as Rachel Hollis writes, it is up to you how you come through your pain—you can come through changed for the better, having learned and grown, or stuck in place where your identity becomes rooted in what hurt you.

Badass Habits is a eureka-sparking, easy-to-digest look at how our habits make us who we are, from the measly moments that happen in private to the resolutions we loudly broadcast (and, erm, often don't keep) on social media. Habit busting and building goes way beyond becoming a dedicated flosser or never showing up late again - our habits reveal our unmet desires, the gaps in our boundaries, our level of self-awareness, and our unconscious beliefs and fears.

Publisher's Summary
Number one New York Times best seller - more than three million copies sold.
Do you ever suspect that everyone else has life figured out and you don’t have a clue? If so, Rachel Hollis has something to tell you: that’s a lie.
If you have ever said any of these things to yourself...something else will make me happy; I’m not a good mom; I will never get past this; I am defined by my weight; I should be further along by now...then you could benefit from the unflinching faith and rock-hard tenacity Rachel Hollis has in store for you. In this challenging but conversational audiobook, Rachel exposes the 20 lies and misconceptions that too often hold us back from living joyfully and productively, lies we’ve told ourselves so often we don’t even hear them anymore.
Rachel is real and talks about real issues. More than that, she reveals the specific practical strategies that helped her move past them. In the process, she encourages, entertains, and even kicks a little butt, all to convince you to do whatever it takes to get real and become the joyous, confident woman you were meant to be. Because you really can live with passion and hustle - and give yourself grace without giving up.
Editorial Review
Part-biography, part-inspirational self-help guide, Rachel Hollis’s breakout success Girl, Wash Your Face delivers an honest and authentic take on everything from relationships to weight loss. We lie to ourselves every day. We tell ourselves that we should be doing better–in our relationships, for our families, at work, and with our own health and weight. With raw honesty, a dash of humour, and the occasional story that will make you cry, Rachel Hollis smashes those beliefs and uncovers them for what they are: nothing but lies. This audiobook delves into Hollis’s own struggles, creating a refreshing, uplifting, and overwhelmingly inspiring tale filled with common sense advice and relatable examples of how we can all get more enjoyment and fulfillment from life. Rachel narrates her own audiobook for Girl, Wash Your Face. Her voice is energetic, emphatic, and coloured with her own experiences and discoveries. This is a powerful personal development guide disguised as an easy-listening memoir that offers something for women of all ages and life stages. Rachel’s chapters on the challenges of motherhood will especially resonate with new and overwhelmed moms. Rachel Hollis is the CEO of media company Chic Media and the founder of TheChicSite.com. Girl, Wash Your Face has sold several million copies and was a New York Times best seller for 85 weeks. It was followed by Girl, Stop Apologizing and Didn’t See That Coming, both of which are now available on Audible.

Mostly for moms and people with religious beliefs
I only listened to half the book because even though she sounds very nice and it's a light listening, I felt like the advice was more focused on moms and family life. Also, as a non religious person, the argument that "don't worry because God has a plan, so things will work out" makes no sense to me. I think this should be marketed as a more spiritual/religious book

Ignorance is Bliss
i usually force myself to finish books even if i dont like them, but this one i couldnt. im not sure if it was her voice or her tone that bothered me more. as a mother with three children who works full time, this woman doesnt get it. it had religious undertones that i didnt like, and it was too ignorant. she clearly just needed an outlet to talk about how great she thinks she is

Redundant, obvious, and too religious
An entire book telling us we are in control of our lives? Who doesn't know that already? Is that something that indoctrinated Christians fall for? Very disappointing waste of an audible credit. There are motivating books out there containing useful information. Try Matt Fitzgerald's, "How Bad do You Want It," or Cindra Kamphoff's, "Beyond Grit."

I fell for the hype
I bought this because of so many positive reviews but after listening to 5 chapters I had to return it. Everything I heard was really basic - things you’ve probably heard countless times in your life. I really didn’t enjoy the narration or find the author’s antidotes relatable or funny even though it was so clearly trying to be both of those things. I would recommend You Are A Badass instead.

I returned after listening to 2 hours, I don't find constant self-depreciating narrative to be empowering in the least, and I felt like the 2 hours I listened were focused on trying to convince me of how 'normal' the author is, through self-depreciating stories. I like when people can laugh at themselves sure enough, but this vibe of this was not resonating with me in the least.

Difficult to relate to.
Struggled to finish the book. Her story is difficult to relate to for me. At times felt too fairytale-ish. I enjoy the way she writes and tells her story but wasnt a book for me. As she says many editors told her, her book is "too sweet" and really doesnt relate to my life.

Good for Christian Mothers
Had some good tips and stories, but not really that helpful if you're not a mother or inspired by monetary gains. Found it hard to relate to and listen to, as it seemed a bit repetitive.

Not the right tone for me
I recently saw Rachel Hollis's documentary about her Rise event, and loved it. Loved the messages, the empowerment, and all of it. So I picked up this book. But is not striking the right chord with me. I'm only about 1/3 the way through, but I had to put it aside. For now, at least. I read/listen to a lot of self-help/empowerment/mindfulness/motivational books. But this one feels like I am being scolded a bit. I get that it is just her story and she is not professing to be an expert/psychologist/etc. But something about the tone is falling flat for me - which is partly me and partly the book. I just think she has a lack of awareness about how some of her messages can be received, and I find myself wishing some of it was backed by research the way so many other books are. So I accept that this is really popular for many people as a great inspirational tale, but so far not my cup of tea.

More for women who are mothers
I did enjoy this book. much of the content spoke to me, woke me up, encouraged me to take control of my life and take action on my goals and dreams. My only real criticism is that there were a lot of times that I felt like I just couldn't relate, at all, or really follow along because it was so focused on being a good mother. I am not a mother and have chosen not to be one. More power to those that do! I salute you!!! If you're a mama and need some guidance and encouragement... this book is bomb!!! But for me, I got bored with the stories. Call me a terrible person... her testimony of her experiences were gripping but they didn't resonate with me... so I lost interest for a great deal of the book. However, overall I enjoyed it and will likely listen to it again, I'll just skip through the parts that don't speak to me. I loved the author's voice both physically as she read and in her story to call to action you living in your truth and speaking it too.

Not what I was expecting, and not in a good way.
I wanted to like this book. I loved at the beginning when I heard her encouraging women to understand that they have the power to change their life if they are unhappy.
Yet once we got into chapter two...it all went downhill, MAJORLY. At one point she was saying she couldn’t “trust or rely” on her friend who didn’t stick to her “whole 30 diet” The author basically said “How can I trust her to keep a promise if she can’t keep a promise to herself?” Ummm it’s a DIET Rachel, not a moral test, OHHHHHKAY!?? Then it made me think...then if we can’t trust a woman that has “failed a diet” because she didn’t “keep her promise” at some point in her life, then none of us would have female friends. Zero.
She chose a HORRIBLE example, staying on a diet does not indicate a women’s values. Or her ability to keep a promise. It’s so closed minded, I can’t handle it. She goes on to talk about diets and weight loss and if you can just “make *it* (weightloss) a priority and keep your promises to yourself (aka stick to your diet and exercise routine) then you too can lose weight and magically your life will be significantly better. Um, I just can’t even people.
This is the very SAME message the media feeds women “get your life together and stick to the diet for once!!” and I refuse to read books that support that BS. Yet the author preaches the same lies, that if we could only have will-power enough to keep our promise and stick to a diet and become thinner and more physically appealing then we would conquer our issues. No thanks. It’s 2018 and a book meant to “encourage women” should have nothing to do with trying to help them “find their ability to keep their promise and stick to a diet”
To all women out there, Please know, you are loved, worthy and capable of so much more than just sticking to a diet and changing your life/body to fit societies standards. You are so much more than a just a body.

Exhaustingly Self-Serving
Ugh. I REALLY wanted to be into this book...but dang, it’s exhausting to listen someone make a case over and over for how great and successful they are...all while trying to drop a few life-advice nuggets for the reader (all of which you could get from a 20 min scan of “motivational quotes” on Pinterest). Rachel REALLY wants you to know how fantastic and accomplished she is....wait, did you actually grasp how much she has achieved? Don’t worry...she’ll tell you a hundred different ways in this book. Plus, there is SO much God/Faith/“I’m a good Christian” mumbo jumbo that it just comes off dis-genuine, preachy and un-relatable. This former preacher’s daughter really wants to sell you herself...and some heavy handed Christian values, y’all!

heavy Christian undertones
Prior to pruchasing, I didnt realize the book would be religious-ish. Okay, easy y'all -- No problems with this!
Just an FYI

Life changing
I am a 44 year old pastors wife and mom to 4 amazing children and this book has been life changing for me. I had been feeling like I’m too old to have dreams or to do anything new but this book has encouraged me to dream bigger and not limit myself. There are a few books that I listen to on audible and think “well, that was nice” but there are others that I will listen to again AND have to purchase the hard copy to highlight my favorite parts and revisit. This book is one that I have both! Rachel, thank you for being vulnerable and putting these words on pages for us to read! ❤️

I can't believe people actually like this book
First off, I didn't really know what I was getting into when I chose this book. It was on the bestsellers and I was in panic mode and needed to make a quick decision.
It's possible that many of my gripes with this book stem from the Author's voice and maybe if I had read an written book my feelings would be different, but probably not.
The author come across as whiny, immature and dim witted. I can't believe that this "self help" book would actually help anyone other than a young naive teenage girl. If you are not a young naive teenage girl, then there are better places to spend your time and money.
The author really loves herself, that is apparent. It is great to love yourself, but why do your readers need to know how much you love yourself? This reads like a list of the author's accomplishments in her 35 years of life experience. Nothing of significance, enlightenment or substance here.
Here, I'll save you some money: Follow your dreams, you can be whatever you want to be in life. You're welcome.
Side note #1: She talks down about people who are overweight as if they are less than. Example: you are ugly and not worthy if you are overweight. I would like to let her know that your weight on a scale has nothing to do with your health. Also, you can be overweight and not over-eat, stress eat or sit around on a couch all day.
Side note #2: I had no idea this was a Christian book. That through me for a loop. So "God has a plan" for your life is also a major theme. Wow, thank's for the insight. ;)

Meant for white evangelical women
What disappointed you about Girl, Wash Your Face?
As a recovering former evangelical, the tone and message of this book sent me back to the days in college where my peers would talk down to me in that holier-than-thou sanctimonious way. It was triggering, to say the least.
Would you ever listen to anything by Rachel Hollis again?
Absolutely not. This was my first foray into her works and absolutely my last.
Any additional comments?
Marketed as a secular memoir, this is really a religious self-help book. Definitely not a one-size-fits-all piece.

It was ok.
Interesting stories but nothing new. Your typical Christian girl trying to be hip and relevant. Lots of “sweet friends” and “sisters”. Similar to Emily Ley. Predictable message. Was hoping for a little more practical instructions as to how to become who you’re meant to be.

Mum wash your face
There are too many different problems that are listed that one person cannot possibly relate to! Eating disorder, alcoholism, body image, childhood trauma of loosing someone, having children, adoption... too many things in one book. Would have been better to diversify and make at least 2 out of one. It’s not very relatable. I did not enjoy listening to it very much. The authors performance gets better towards the end of the book. To conclude, I would not recommend buying this book for self help. There are so many other that are better written.

Too much religious reference
I liked the candour, couldn't stand the scripture. There were far too many religious references for this atheist.
