Publisher's Summary

An inspiring and revealing essay about motherhood, self-acceptance, and overcoming the fears that hold you back by the #1 New York Times bestselling author of Open Book.

“If I want to lead myself into something greater than yesterday, I have to surrender the things that scare me and hold me back.”

Jessica Simpson collected so much emotional baggage over the course of her life that she began to feel like she couldn’t carry anything else. She knew she needed to confront her fears. She made a to-do list for the life she wanted. No more struggling to please everyone else. No more dulling the pain. No more avoiding the scary stuff. From now on, she’ll focus only on the expectations she has for herself. With her inviting warmth and trademark intimacy, Jessica reflects on the example of her daughters and son, reclaiming her power and taking the lead in her own life.

Clear, concise and practical

I loved hearing the inflections in her voice perfectly matched with what she was reading. Gives fantastic advice on letting go of fear. Great examples of how it applies to everyone individually. Easy to understand and very inspirational. I found it to be practical and something I can use in my own life. I recommend this book/essay for anyone who is facing a mountain in their life, or who is avoiding the mountain in their life. No matter how small or how big it is, this life lesson shows you, you can do it!

Too short to spend a full credit on

It was nice, I'm a fan of Jessica's, but was disappointed it was only 35 min long
