Joanna Gaines' new book, The Stories We Tell, invites us on an authentic and deeply vulnerable journey into her story—and helps shine a light on the beauty of our own—guiding us to release the weights that hold us back so we may live and share our story in truth. We've all dropped anchor in places that suited us for a time: a city, a perspective, a lie we mistook as truth. This book is an invitation to a kind of life where you know how to hold what you believe—about yourself and the quiet worlds behind the people you pass—with gracious and open hands.

In his early 20s, Curtis Jackson, known as 50 Cent, rose to the heights of fame and power in the cutthroat music business. A decade ago, the multi-platinum selling rap artist decided to pivot. His ability to adapt to change was demonstrated when he became the executive producer and star of Power, a high-octane, gripping crime drama centered around a drug kingpin's family. The series quickly became "appointment" television, leading to Jackson inking a four-year, $150 million contract with the Starz network - the most lucrative deal in premium cable history.

Even women who feel fulfilled often struggle to meet the demands of modern life. Both working and stay-at-home moms agree that the expectations of women have risen dramatically in recent decades. As a result, many women overcompensate and over-apologize while the guilt dampens the joy of motherhood, relationships, and professional accomplishments. Let Go of the Guilt helps you peel back the layers of emotional, cultural, and spiritual expectations that make it difficult to navigate your multiple roles, dreams, and daily demands on your life.

From Erin Napier, coauthor with her husband, Ben, of their memoir Make Something Good Today, comes a collection of essays walking us through every room in her home, telling the story of a family’s life, of the days that made their home the place she longs for when she’s away.

Women are notorious over-preparers and underestimators when it comes to their own readiness to try something new. But as Emma teaches, what most often holds us back are our own fears, excuses, and doubts. With her revolutionary manifesto, Winging It, Emma shares a rallying cry for all women to “do the things that scare you, build your wealth, make an impact, fail lots, and get up and try again”.

Blanke wants to start a movement of people across America throwing out 50 things (magazines count as one!) that will help liberate us from the stuff—both physical and mental—that clutters our lives.

But the Africans then living in the colonies overwhelmingly sided with the British. In this trailblazing book, Gerald Horne shows that in the prelude to 1776, the abolition of slavery seemed all but inevitable in London, delighting Africans as much as it outraged slaveholders, and sparking the colonial revolt.

This is the first autobiography that I’ve been able to get hooked on and actually finish. And - I did it in less than 5 days! The fact that Syd and Shea narrated themselves was a huge plus. And the honesty they conveyed in their story was inspiring. I’ve always enjoyed them since watching their show on Netflix but this book brought it to another level. Great job guys!

Fun, inspiring, and practical! Couldn’t stop listening.
If you watched their new show on Netflix, you already love the McGees for their down to earth nature and beautiful, timeless, yet unique and fresh style. This book is a story of their journey, with raw moments as well as funny stories, all centered around practical and specific design and business tips (I appreciated the specificity here!). I truly loved getting the peek behind the curtain and found it inspiring, interesting, fun and very well written - I couldn’t stop listening and finished it in just a few days! Highly recommend for anyone interested in design, entrepreneurship, or just a fun and inspiring story!

So inspiring!
I have never bought anything from McGee & Co but I’ve been a long time admirer of everything they do and this book made me love them even more. Highly recommend getting this book on audible so you can hear them tell their inspiring story!

Good job!
Good job, you made me go out and buy the book. Something I want to be able to refer to at any given time. I love how the stories of life came together to create a business. Especially to date a great successful business.

Loved it!
I started watching the Netflix show on season 2. So I really didn’t know their background, I did some research and realized how down to earth they are so I bought the audiobook. It was one of my quickest listens so far. It was an easy read and very enjoyable. Very human.
