What I'm Listening to on Audible || sharing my thoughts and insights on the audio book, You are a Badass by Jen Sincero

Has anyone else here hopped aboard the audio book train? I really love to read, although, with the hustle and bustle of life, it’s typically the first priority of mine to go out of the window.

I downloaded Audible on a whim one day after one of my friends raved about listening to a book on her commute to work and my life is forever changed. I typically listen to books that are motivating whenever I’m in the car and my motivation has already vastly improved. There’s something about listening to an inspiring role model first thing in the morning that really gets you geared up to get sh!t done in your day, I guess. 😉

My latest audio book obsession has been You Are a Badass by Jen Sincero. I actually loved it so much that during mine & Dj’s impromptu trip up north for July 4th weekend, I put it on our car’s bluetooth for him to listen to it. He got HOOKED.

The whole basis of the book is how to stop doubting yourself and start living an awesome life. I love that Jen herself narrates the book and it’s packed with amazing information, all while throwing in humor and is always keeps you interested and wanting to hear more.

I even used this book as motivation (outside of work + growing my personal projects; like this blog!) to get back into the gym. [The Beginners Guide to Running a Mile + Interval Running]


Questions for you:

  1. Have you tried out Audible yet?
  2. What book have you read or listened to lately?
  3. How long is your commute to work?

    I haven’t tried out Audible yet, but I definitely have to give it a try! You Are a Badass seems like a great read.

    Not sure if you’re into podcasts, but I love Lady Lovin’. New episodes every Monday!

      You definitely should! It has increased the productivity I feel in the mornings, and I swear, it’s related! <3

      I love podcasts! I haven't found one that has me hooked lately, so I'll definitely be checking out Lady Lovin'. Thanks for the rec!

    I actually am listening to a seriously addictive podcast right now called Serial. https://serialpodcast.org/ . I am obsessed currently. I love audio books too, I listened to a few Jodi Picoult books on my audio while running! Super fun. Thanks for opening up the discussion!

      I loooooved Serial!! After you finish it, you have to check out Undisclosed. It’s a follow up of Serial but by the lawyer who first reached out to the producers of Serial- his friend’s sister.
