Story
Divorce Court star Judge Lynn Toler shares her mother's wisdom for learning to conquer anger and become immune to insult. Toler credits her mother's "rules" for life - a life that saw her grow up the daughter of a poor teen mother and endure a husband who suffered mental illness and alcoholism - with providing the grounding for her own success and happiness. Toler shows how the mindset of "a black woman who knew how to make things work" taught her the power of knowing how to manage one's emotional business - lessons that this book offers in wrenching stories....

Steve Harvey can't count the number of impressive women he's met over the years - the many incredible women who can run a business, have three kids, maintain a household in tiptop shape, and chair a church group all at the same time. So when it comes to relationships, why can't these same women figure out what makes men commit? According to Steve, it's because they're asking other women for advice when they should be going directly to the source.

When people are new to self-care, they tend to assume that it mostly means personal grooming, long hours in a bathroom, manicures and yoga sessions.... And they’re not wrong! Self-care does include those things. But when you think well, self-care runs much deeper than just a bubble bath - it includes emotional self-care as well. Since life has become increasingly harder for everyone these days, here, in this book, I’m going to talk exactly about it.

Who would imagine being friends with Eve - the woman who’s been held responsible for the fall of humanity (and cramps) for thousands of years? Certainly not Sarah Jakes Roberts. That is, not until Sarah discovered she is more like Eve than she cares to admit. Everyone faces trials, and everyone will mess up. But failure should not be the focus. Your focus should not be on who you were but rather the pursuit of who you can become.

Every day we experience the uncertainty, risks, and emotional exposure that define what it means to be vulnerable or to dare greatly. Based on 12 years of pioneering research, Dr. Brené Brown dispels the cultural myth that vulnerability is weakness and argues that it is, in truth, our most accurate measure of courage. Brown explains how vulnerability is both the core of difficult emotions like fear, grief, and disappointment, and the birthplace of love, belonging, joy, empathy, innovation, and creativity.

A letter every daughter should read/hear!
This book was very informative. A lot of things I had to learn through experience because it wasn’t exactly taught. Although I am a seasoned woman I still learned something from this book. I’m going to ensure my daughters receive a copy.
I love the fact how Mrs Toler states she doesn’t know everything or this is what worked for her. A lot of books will have you thinking if I actually do XY&Z I will get the results I am reading about.
My mother didn’t get a chance to tell me about life lessons, but after listening to this book it felt like she was giving me her story. I love this book!

Judge Lynn is one of my favorites! There is so much wisdom and advice in this book. This is a perfect read for a young adult, I would have loved to have read this book at about 18 - 25. I love that Judge Lynn narrates three books, something about her voice calms me.

Not interested in this book just by the name Sonali.
I just don’t like the name of this book because my sister had an old best friend name Sonaly and I was a witness how my sister had to defend her self against her she a piece of trash. So sorry Mrs. Lynn Toler but not interested.

Definitely a Book every woman should read....
This book showed me that I'm not alone in my thinking anxiety or fear. I am as much of a mess as everyone else... I take comfort in that. I'm currently working on launching my 3rd business and I'm happy to know that my past mistakes are just that. In the past & have no hold on my future. I get to decide what happens next... that's the most powerful essence in the world. This book revealed that to me... I'm forever thankful 🙏🏾
