Welcome to Litsy!

I loved her book Forward so glad @KLyn1 told me to read this. So good and inspirational!

A short, sharp burst of inspiration!
I like that it‘s short. I can pick it up and absorb it again anytime I feel like I need it.

Yes, it's true, I'm a huge Abby Wambach fan, so I know I'm bias. HOWEVER, this book was truly wonderful with great lessons that I need to bring into my life.

Also, my IRL friend @asteroig just joined Litsy!! She's a triple threat: smart, funny, and loves to read!! 5/5 would recommend her friendship. #WelcomeToLitsy #LitsyWelcomeWagon

“The most important thing I've learned is that what you do will never define you for long. Who you are always will“ (92).

Book 264

⭐️⭐️⭐️1/2
Brené Brown interviewed Abby on one of her podcasts, & they had a great discussion about Wolfpack. I felt everything covered in the episode is covered in the book, however, I enjoyed reading it just as much. If you prefer audio, I recommend the podcast episode.

The rules Abby has destroyed (& then rebuilt) are useful life skills & ideas to live by. I really appreciated how open & honest she was throughout the book.

Read this beaut while waiting on my scan results. Abby has a ton of impactful points as a leader and a teammate. Highly recommend!

This is an interesting book about leadership and Abby Wambach is a superstar in so many ways. This may just be an #audiobook. It's short and pretty awesome.

#Summerfun book about sports ⚽ (sort of)

Love love love this. So perfectly spot on and just what I wanted to hear right now.

“What you do will never define you for long. Who you are always will.”
Abby Wambach has created a new manifesto for women and girls all across the world. Her message is simple: Together, united we are a force💗🌏💪🏼💄This was a very quick read 🐺❤️🐺❤️

Every woman is the leader of her own life. Do not give up that power. Claim it. Value it. Use it.

So good! This short, inspirational #audiobook based on Abby Wambach‘s 2018 viral commencement address to Barnard College is phenomenal! And only a bit over an hour of listening time. #booked2020 #winter6 @Cinfhen @4thhouseontheleft @BarbaraTheBibliophage

This is a quick, one hour audiobook that was great for listening to while cooking dinner. This book lays out the new rules leaders and women should follow in order to lead and be leaders in the US.

Excellent and inspiring.

Oh no, I missed my week 4 check in! 😭 And I was sick this week, so my goals were temporarily suspended to just be “rest.” It worked and now I‘m feeling much better!

Week 5 Update for #BFCr4:
🏋🏻‍♀️ Went to the gym 0/3 times.
🧘🏻‍♀️ Practiced yoga 0/3 times.
🍝 Exceeded my goal of home cooked meals.
📚 Read 6 books, bringing my total to 19/16. 🙌

I love Abby and she‘s an amazing athlete and soccer player. The book is fine. But if you have seen her commencement speech she talks about in the book that pretty much sums up the entire book. So I was a bit disappointed. I read it start to finish waiting at a doctors appointment.

Only took 30 minutes to read during an #NJLA19 conference break. Powerful words that all women feel. Now how do we achieve?

Short, but inspiring. I‘m not a soccer fan, but I like Abby, and while this is not groundbreaking, it is a good reminder. While reading, I felt like you could tell she is married to Glennon Doyle-Melton, as they both tend to write in pithy, quotable sound bites. This isn‘t a bad thing, but I wish some of it had been fleshed out a bit more.

A little Friday night inspiration. Most sticky for me: “Be grateful for what you have AND demand what you deserve” and “Failure means you‘re finally IN the game.”

Short, empowering read by soccer legend Abby Wambach. It‘s what I love about the USWNT- focus on team, equity, and general badassness. Great points of having humanity and confidence. Good read!

Current read! ⚽️👍🏽

I think I went into this book thinking it was something that it wasn‘t, that being said it was pretty great. It focused on expanding upon the commencement address Abby gave to Barnard College in 2018, and is broken up into rules, old and new. I love Abby Wambach and have been obsessed with soccer since I was little so I loved this.

Abby Wambach after talking about what happened when wolves were reintroduced in Yellowstone.

Soccer legend expands her focus from the field to womankind. We were never Red Riding Hood. We were always the wolf.

Based on a commencement address the two-time Olympic gold medalist & FIFA World Cup champion Abby Wambach gave, this book focuses on telling women how to find confidence & success by coming together. While focused on women, there is something for everyone. She uses examples from her own career to make her points. A quick reading empowering book.

[I received an advanced e-galley of this book through #Netgalley. To be released April 9, 2019.]
