About this listen
For every woman that has ever felt trapped; a funny, raw, and empowering mid-life-crisis.
Creator, mother, lover, and social media phenomenon Tova Leigh explores what the hell you are supposed to do when you find yourself living a life you don't remember signing up for.
I was bored, angry, tired, and sad. I felt all alone yet I had nothing to complain about. I had a good job, a husband who wasn't shagging his assistant, three children who apart from being the occasional a**holes were pretty good kids; a house, a dog, and everything else we are told as little girls we should aspire to. But inside, I was growing restless. I didn't want to be looked at as just a "mom". I wanted to be desired, to make someone's hair stand on end and go crazy for me. I didn't want to live by some label that didn't represent me. I looked at my messy minivan one morning and I wanted to vomit on it all. I panicked, thinking about how I am slowly approaching middle age and menopause, and I wondered how many years do I have left of being "f--ckable" before everything starts going downhill?
In her first book, Tova takes the listener on her journey of rediscovering who she is after motherhood and beyond the norms society forces upon women, whilst encouraging them to break free and just be themselves.
When you find authenticity it's hard to go back. It's like opening a door to the truth and starting to breathe a new type of air. This discovery is what prompted me to write. It's my way of saying HERE I AM.

Refreshing
Seriously spoke to me. Some feelings I've had feel vindicated. There are practices I have adopted. I'm not some one who re-reads, but I could see myself doing it with this book (or recording), it would feel like an old friend. I wouldn't recommend to some one who finds they clutch their pearls a lot, but to most exhausted moms who feel invisible, devour this NOW!

Absolutely Loved it!
I finished this book in two days! Loved that is was narrated by Tova herself. It was so refreshing on so many levels. You won’t be disappointed. I cannot stop recommending it to friends. Tova is certainly fabulous at 40 and hoping she’s penning her next book soon.

Interesting
I enjoyed the authors openness and attitude of doing what makes you happy. As a Mother I appreciated her openness. I don't think open marriage should be promoted and monogamy looked down on which it seems to be in this book but to each their own.
