Hehe, I also got out of corporate showing them the biggest middle finger I could muster, and embarked on the incredibly stressful but rewarding journey of being a self-employed life and health coach (not one of THOSE, I don't think sticking himalayan sea salt up your ass will help you fulfil your true potential).

Somehow, even with calling assholey people things like twatfish, it's paying off. It's such a great feeling when it works to be you ❤️

I love your articles, Sarah, thank you so much for sharing them. Every time I read one I give my head a shake, and I remind myself that I choose where I give my fucks. No one else! And when I forget that, I always sing the lyrics from Radiohead, “you did it to yourself, just you, you and no one else.” 💕

It helps remind me to take personal responsibility for my own actions. Rock on!

“It’s your world, squirrel.” This did not merely speak to me, it grabbed me by the throat and shook me hard enough to rattle my eyeballs. The matter-of-factness of it (no !, just . ). F*#¥ing. Brilliant. Thank you.

The fuck bucks mindset really changed my life and I think about it every week. I first read your book in 2018 when I was burnout from work and realized I was spending all my energy money for crazy people at a stupid company! As a people pleasure in chief, I tend to give all my fucks to everyone but me. So thank you for the reminder, I will reread your book again Sarah! Sending love from Paris 🫶

Love this advice! It’s very helpful to right now. And the colors on the new cover are gorgeous! I think Tony Danza was supposed to be the unofficial boss? I loved that show as a kid.
