Girl, Stop Apologizing: Conclusion
A Chapter by Chapter Review of Girl, Stop Apologizing by Rachel Hollis
We made it to the end! The last chapter is just a wrap-up, but I wanted to make two points.
The Good
“I believe in you.” (208)
Sometimes, that is all you need to hear.
The Bad
“It means that you have to push through when you don’t want to. It means that you have to find a way to not go binge eat. It means that you have to have a hard conversation with your sister about the way you’re feeling. It means that you need to talk to your spouse about how you can have a stronger marriage. It means that you’re going to have to do a lot of things that make you uncomfortable. It means that you’re going to have to parent your kids instead of giving them what they want in order to keep the peace. It means that you’re going to have to lead your team with the wisdom and determination of a great coach instead of the blind acceptance of a great cheerleader. It means that you’re going to have to be your own coach as well as your own hype squad. It means that you’re going to have to lead yourself well. It means that you’re going to have to treat yourself with kindness but challenge yourself to become better.” (209)
