About this listen

The beloved star of Sister, Sister and former co-host of The Real sheds her “good girl” image and inspires women to do the same in this powerful memoir.

A lighthearted and supremely entertaining memoir, You Should Sit Down for This is like spending the afternoon sharing tea, fresh baked cookies, and conversation with Tamera Mowry-Housley, the fun-loving, wisdom-sharing girlfriend we all need in our lives (always ready to top off your wine!). Most of us know Tamera Mowry-Housley as a beloved TV star—one‑half of the memorable duo on the hit show Sister, Sister and co-host of the FOX talk show The Real. Tamera’s spunky Sister, Sister character stole the hearts of millions, but the transition in the public eye from teen-girl star to grown woman with a family and thriving career wasn’t easy. Being raised in Hawaii as an army brat instilled in her the discipline needed to succeed and conquer her dreams, but she felt secluded and sheltered, and wondered if living on her own terms would ever be her reality. Then, she decided it would. Vowing to live true to herself, Tamera stopped letting other people define her, tapped into her faith, and tossed away negativity to hone her own happiness and create a unique path forward for herself. In this pink book of quirky advice and storytelling, she encourages everyone to do the same. A celebration of love, cookies, and the juicy parts of life, she’ll leave you feeling liberated and motivated to embrace the highs and lows of growing.

In You Should Sit Down for This, Tamera shares heartfelt stories about exiling herself from the world of beauty pageants, the pressures of being a teenage star, her struggle with rejection, the craziness of dating later in life, the challenges of balancing family and career, and why it’s okay for women to hide out in their closets when they just need a few minutes of peace. Tamera doesn’t shy away from the tough experiences, hilarious missteps, and big lessons it took to build a thriving career and the full life she’s living today. Our favorite girl next door offers “Tameraisms,”—bite-sized pieces of wisdom to empower other women to step up to life’s unexpected turns and surprises and make it all work. You Should Sit Down for This is a much-needed reminder of the magic that can happen when we open our minds and hearts to become the very best versions of ourselves.

Warm, insightful, and inspiring read!

I have always been a fan of Tamera’s so when I heard she was writing a book, I knew I had to read it! My job keeps me on the road a lot, so I was excited to see that it was available on Audible! I would highly recommend listening to it as you read. I truly felt like I was invited into her home and her voice captures the essence of the stories! Tamera shares openly and honestly about her journey as an actress, mother, wife, and Christian woman. I left feeling so inspired, and empowered to embrace the life that I’m living right now. 10 out of 10 recommended!! Thank you for being true to yourself and reminding us to do the same. Great job Tamera 👍🏾

Awesome woman!!! Awesome book!!

Tamera I've been a huge fan of you and Tia for years, in fact I grew up looking up to you guys. I love the fact that you stay true to yourself and live each day the way you want. You poured your heart out and I received it gracefully.

I laughed, cried, and paused to think

This book was so touching. I loved how crazy, funny, wholesome, in depth, everything! I literally laughed and cried and had to pause the book to reflect on things that she was saying about family and marriage and love! I loved this book!! I loved how wholesome and open and raw it was! Thank you Tam.

Meh...

although I love Tia and Tamera, this story didn't really appeal to me at all. majority of the story was already told by Tamera by her in interviews and or her YouTube channel during the pandemic. I understand it is her story and she wrote what she wanted to tell an audience but it could've been better. I think I would enjoy more about how she came about the wine business.

Very inspiring

As a mom, a wife, and someone who has lost very close love ones, and has dealt with depression and anxiety, this book was inspiring. It felt warm and welcoming and also made me take my KitchenAid mixer out of the cabinet and even though it’s large and takes up counter space, I’m going to leave it out and make baking memories with my two girls.
Thanks Tamera girl!
