Jennifer Allwood is inspiring and encouraging and wont let you get away with not seeing your true potential. This book is that kind of friend too. Jen holds you to the high standards that she knows you want for yourself but have not had the courage to go for, until now. She never asks you to venture where she herself is not willing to go. She dares to reach beyond her grasp and invites you to reach with her. Jennifer has generously, and with great love and humor, put on these pages what she would say to you over a coffee (or a cocktail). Im sure youre going to love this book because its what being friends with Jennifer is really like: truthful and the best.

A must-read for every woman who is ready to become her next and best version of herself.
