I love to read books like these because they make me stop and reflect on my life and areas where I can make improvements. I also like to get perspectives of different people and learn the tools they use to help them live a more fulfilling life.
In this book, there are five sections: Recharge, Release, Reconnect, Reframe and Reclaim. Each section contains very short chapters which just take a few minutes to read. At the end of each chapter are some quotes and a "Fearless & Fabulous Five" list which highlights five points she made in the chapter.
One of my favorite chapters is #16, "Reframe for a New Perspective." She talks about how the phrase "lump of coal" is used negatively but there is also a positive use for it--it's all about perspective. Coal is used to create warmth and you can cook with it to create a meal to nourish loved ones. I loved reading her perspective on that and want to take the lumps of coal in my life and find the positive possibilities in them.
There are many other great chapters and ideas in this book. I read through it quickly and want to read it more slowly and implement more of her suggestions. In her introduction, she talks about how becoming unstuck doesn't happen overnight. I'm definitely aware of this but it always helps to have someone else reinforce that. I also love her quote, "We all have the capacity to stay fearless and fabulous at every age and stage of our lives." I love that! Here's to staying fearless and fabulous!!

others to face life’s challenges with grit, grace and wit. Her first
book, Getting Things Off My Chest, helps newly diagnosed women navigate their breast cancer journey with confidence. In Fearless Fabulous You! Melanie’s
