Embrace your challenges to live authentically
I appreciate the author Esmie Lawrence's courage to share her stories and her vulnerabilities. The wisdom she gained from life experiences and overcoming challenges are commendable. The two chapters that I find most relevant to me currently were the chapters that talk about stress management and decrease busyness. It reminds me of a book I'm currently reading--Essentialism by Greg Mckeown. With the current fast-paced lifestyle, it is so easy to get lost in the busyness of the world. The chapter was a good reminder for me to reflect what or who are the most important people to me. The book covers a few other useful advice, such as forgiving others and being disciplined. Given that Esmie is a former Olympian, her advice on being disciplined holds a solid ground.

Wonderful, inspiring listen
Lawrence’s story is a great one, and it makes for the foundations of a wonderful audiobook. As a former Olympian, she knows what it takes to succeed. Sadly, she also knows what it’s like to struggle and endure extreme hardship.
This audiobook chronicles all of those struggles in an approachable way, while at the same time, giving others the tools and inspiration needed to overcome similar struggles and succeed, themselves. It’s a wonderful listen, and I’d recommend it to just about anyone!

Marvelous knowledge, narration and writing!
The author is extremely talented at writing and sharing her story. I would buy this book for that fact alone. Second, the narration is super on point which makes the complete experience mesmerizing. However, the most important part is the knowledge enclosed, and that is well above the industry standard. I will refer all my friends to this book because this book has been pivotal on my journey to freedom.

A story of overcoming hardship
This isn't your typical "just work harder" type book. Esmie Lawrence shares the difficulties and struggles which got her to where she is in life today. It adds an approachable and personal element and really helps the book shine in a competitive genre.
The book is fantastically written and maintains a consistent narrative throughout, the narrator was perfect for the book and I felt as if Esmie herself was reading to me.
Life is chaotic right now, and I think we're all feeling somewhat overwhelmed, but if you're looking to not only get through these coming months, but thrive in them, this is the book for you.
