If you’re struggling to stay on top of your to-do list, you probably have a good reason: anxiety, fatigue, depression, ADHD, or lack of support. For therapist KC Davis, the birth of her second child triggered a stress-mess cycle. The more behind she felt, the less motivated she was to start. She didn’t fold a single piece of laundry for seven months. One life-changing realization restored her sanity—and the functionality of her home: You don’t work for your home; your home works for you.

Suddenly finding herself 40 and single, Lori Gottlieb said the unthinkable in her March 2008 article in The Atlantic: Maybe she, and single women everywhere, needed to stop chasing the elusive Prince Charming and instead go for Mr. Good Enough. Looking at her friends' happy marriages to good enough guys who happen to be excellent husbands and fathers, Gottlieb declared it time to reevaluate what we really need in a partner. By looking at everything from culture to biology, in Marry Him, Gottlieb frankly explores the dilemma that so many women today seem to face.

By the time she was in her late 20s, Tara Schuster was a rising TV executive who had worked for The Daily Show with Jon Stewart and helped launch Key & Peele to viral superstardom. By all appearances, she had mastered being a grown-up. But beneath that veneer of success, she was a chronically anxious, self-medicating mess. No one knew that her road to adulthood had been paved with depression, anxiety, and shame. Buy Yourself the F*cking Lilies is the story of Tara’s path to re-parenting herself and becoming a "ninja of self-love".

Inclusive wedding book actually talks marriage
With the Chilla ethos, my spouse and I were able to learn and choose what was important to us on our wedding day. This book deserves to be listened to in a rose-scented bubble bath with a bottle of wine. Instead, I listened to it on my morning commute and instant coffee. Bridechilla kept me sane and I kicked wedding planning ass! Thank you so much Aleisha!

If you want to stress less over planning a wedding read this book
This book really helped me put the wedding planning process in perspective. It was hilarious in parts and so good I had to listen 3 times in the first 2 months of our engagement. By the time I finished the 3rd read,my heavy lifting of wedding planning was complete. If you listen to one planning book- choose this one!

Holy s****, the bridechilla guide on audible?!?
Seriously amazing stuff. Aleisha is hilarious (I listen when I run and I had to stop several times because I was laughing so hard I couldn't breath) and she gives excellent down-to-earth advice for anyone planning a REAL wedding, not a sparkly, out-of-a-magazine or pinterest, fantasy.
Highly recommend!

The BS-free wedding planning book of my dreams!!!
Part life advice, part hilarious, and 100% wedding planning gold! I've been a long time listener of the Bridechilla podcast, and I was so excited when Aleisha came out with a book! Aleisha tells it like it is, and isn't afraid to talk about the real side of wedding planning. Of course she covers all the fun stuff like decor and cake, but she also gives great advice on the deeper stuff like your relationship with your future spouse and dealing with relatives during the planning process. The book feels like sitting down with a wise and funny girlfriend to discuss wedding planning over a cocktail. I feel so confident and stress-free in my wedding planning after reading/listening to this book!

Very informative and honest while being lightheard with some humor. You may not agree with everything or a lot of things in the book, but I still think it's worth a listen in my opinion. Understanding another person's perspective on something is good and helps you look at things differently.

A fun take on the nitty gritty of wedding planning
After finding the Bridechilla podcast I found myself loving Aleisha’s style of providing feedback and insight. I don’t often have the time to sit down and read anymore so when this audiobook was announced I knew I had to listen. Overall the book contains a lot of great insight, humor, and honesty in regards to planning a wedding and maintaining your “chilla.” As with any book or post in regards to wedding planning you have to personalize everything to your own wants and desires. Just because something in the book goes in the FIB doesn’t mean it has to for you! Take the book as the light hearted, slightly vulgar, and informative piece it is and apply what you need from it to your own wedding planning.
This book was received for free in exchange for feedback.
