pickEnjoyed listening to Chrissy Metz‘ life story. She has such a wonderful spirit and is someone I could see myself being friends with.
pickThis humerus yet honest and vulnerable peek into Chrissy Metz‘s life and journey to the TV show This Is Us. She is upfront about her experiences as a plus sized woman growing up and in show biz. She shares both her struggles and triumphs both personally and professionally. While her childhood and upbringing were rough, it gives us insight into our own perseverance and a sense of self.
pick⭐⭐⭐⭐⚡️I am not all caught up on This Is Us, because it is emotionally exhausting so I have to watch just one episode every so often - but I do think it's a fantastic show! This memoir/autobiography/self-help book was a light, insightful read. As always with autobiographies, I recommend listening to the audiobook (I borrow them digitally from the library).
pickA must read! Chrissys story and wisdom is so inspiring for all women.
so-soIt wasn‘t bad but there was nothing new. 🤷♀️
pickI absolutely loved listening to this book read by Chrissy Metz herself ☺️ What a beautiful, thoughtful, smart, insightful and inspiring woman!
so-soI didn‘t love this. All her talk about what the universe is going to do for us, hooking up with various guys and repetitive self-help advice aren‘t really what I was looking for with this. I still love This Is Us though ❤️

Being honest with yourself is the priority--you cant control how another person will react.
..setting boundaries isnt about being a diva, its about self care.
should be...I felt I had completed...
You cant worry about the next because youre in one this moment. Its the same thing in our lives...just see where it takes you.
Things about Chrissy:
Shes from Gainesville, FL
She had .81 cents in her bank before This Is Us
She was a talent agent for 9 years!
Her first job was at McDonalds
She loves fashion
.. youll make things happen once you stop waiting for things to happen.
The voice in your head is not real. Feelings are not facts.
I dont get anything good from dwelling on it. If its not helpful, its hurtful.
...what people think about you is none of your business.
...being emotionally secure is knowing that peoples attitudes dont have the power to destroy you.
Our culture has become an arms race of nastiness.
...putting deposits in my confidence bank..
There arent many times where you actually sit in that good space of being excited about where youve come from abd what youve accomplished...its always the next thing and the next thing.
[So true!]
...you set your intention, but you have to do the work..
Being who you are is enough. You dont have to become a success, because you already are one.
...the universe doesnt know good or bad; it just knows what you are focusing on.
I believe firmly that youre never given a vision without a provision.
Its hard to change habits. You cant move a rooted tree overnight. You have to dig deep..
HALT: are you Hungry? are you Angry? are you Lonely? are you Tired?
The more you resist, the more it persists.
Your ego will tey to tell you that adapting is the same as failure.
Your mind is your garden and your thoughts are the seeds.
...had to stop caring about what I wasmt and focus on what I was.
Its only a failure if you dont try in the first place.
What I have learned is that hurt people hurt people.
...thats because you cant give from an empty well. When you dont realize how full your life is, you cant give to others. And when you cannot give to others, you will not be able to receive.
...remember your soul is what matters. Your body is a vessel for your soul, and what surrounds that vessel...is nowhere as important as what is inside you.
The universe responds when you really pursue your hearts desire.
We all have a purpose...there is nobody here on earth who doesnt have a path or a purpose. (Oprah)
You have to be the one that decides what it is tou want to give. It isnt always about money. Its your energy, its your time, and its your love.
There is something that happens when you are grateful. You continue to receive blessings.
I didnt know how to love myself. It was only once I stopped looking for outside validation, and looked inward instead,that I realized I had all I need to fly.
Last line: Thank you for changing my life.
pickLoved it! Who knew she is so inspirational! I loved all her insights and her struggle. I look forward to another book from her in the future.
A perfect Saturday night
