Life Is a Lazy Susan of Sh*t Sandwiches

De: Jennifer Welch, Angie Sullivan

Narrado por: Jennifer Welch, Angie Sullivan

From the beloved hosts of the hit podcast I've Had It, an honest, irreverent and inspiring guide to overcoming life's unexpected challenges and finding joy, stability and humor in today's chaotic world, for fans of Big Friendship and The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F*ck

Long before their blockbuster podcast, I’ve Had It, Jennifer Welch and Angie “Pumps” Sullivan were simply two best friends, supporting each other through the ups and downs of life. Together they’ve celebrated family milestones and cheered on professional successes, but they’ve weathered the storms together too. When Jennifer’s husband battled alcoholism and drug addiction, she turned to Angie for support. When Angie’s own marriage began to crumble, she turned to Jennifer. And crucially, through it all they’ve kept one another laughing in stitches.

For the first time, Angie and Jennifer open up about the most personal moments that shaped their worldviews, sharpened their humor and inspired the “hopeful cynicism” that underpins their I’ve Had It podcast. Using their friendship as a roadmap, Jennifer and Angie share the wisdom that got them through life’s biggest challenges and the lessons they’ve absorbed along the way. From infidelity, addiction and sobriety to economic instability, struggles with self-worth and brushes with fame, they've seen it all, and they're here to help guide listeners on their own journeys, showing us how we too can center our lives around humor, hope and connection and let go of the rest.

Love these ladies!!

I love these 2 women so much. This book was so wonderful. I love them even more now. I only discovered their podcast about 4 months ago and can’t get enough of their shows. I’m a 62 year old very blue democrat woman living in the blood red state of Tennessee so I identify so much with Jen & Pumps. This book is a big 5 STARS For me! Highly recommend.

Just as good on Audible as on their podcast

Jen and Pumps do not disappoint! Heaing about the shit sandwiches they have both been served up is poignant and funny.

red states and southern culture which I knew little before Trump.

it opened my eyes and gave me more hope in this dark time. thank you Jennifer and Angie!

I've had it: The Saga

I've been listening to the podcast since it started and these two women have become my happy place in a world full of uncertainty. I know I will C U N (Tuesday or Thursday) and many days in between. This book expanded on many of the glimpses they give into their lives on the podcast, with lots of inside jokes and personal stories coming full circle and bringing a deeper understanding of the transformative lives these ladies have lived. Jen and Pumps truly are STARS! I loved that they narrated the book themselves as anyone else reading it wouldn't have done it justice. As a member of the LGBTQIA community and an addict in recovery, I feel deeply connected to these women and appreciate how intensely they fight for and believe in equal rights for ALL! I laughed and cried while reading this book and I look forward to everything these two will create in the future. If you are a fan of their podcast, this book is for you. if you've never seen their podcast, this book will show you how deeply introspective Jen and Pumps are and leave you wanting more! (which you can find on I've Had It). I love you Jen and Pumps! Thank you for all you do.

Love These Two!

I’ve so much enjoyed the “I’ve Had It Podcast” and tell all of my liberal friends here in ruby red Southeast Kansas, “These two are from Oklahoma!” I grew up in Miami, OK, class of 1966 so I’m about the age of your parents. I often wonder how those of us raised there can be this liberal, from head to toe, it’s a mystery. The book filled in so much background that I’ve wondered about from listening to your conversations, political acumen, and deadly humor. I was surprised at the amount of pain you have endured, yet here you are. And OMG, Obama! Just wow! Loved this book and will be telling my liberal ladies and family not to miss it! Keep fighting the good fight!! We love you!

Bawling!

I’ve been a fan of I’ve Had It podcast since the early days. I have met them in person at their live show, and often engage with them through their “cult” community they have built online. I’ve grown to love and admire these ladies and have thoroughly enjoyed seeing how successful they have become. I’ve heard bits and pieces of these stories shared, and have cried with them when they were grieving in real time. All that to say, I thought I knew everything about these women, but this book gave the full picture about the struggles they experienced, their happy times, their upbringings - highlighting all the defining moments that have gotten them here today. While listening to this book, a wave of emotion just came over me and I’m crying my eyes out! But not just for the struggles and grief they overcame, but also from immense joy I feel for them and gratitude I have for the community they’ve built. They deserve every success and are truly fighting the good fight - deserving of every platform. Highly recommend this book!

SO F’ing GOOD!

Bravo Ladies. I see myself in every step of your lives. Thank you for sharing your beautiful friendship with the world.

Entertaining & Touching

I appreciated the candor. I was a little surprised I learned something I hadn’t learned prior about these ladies. I’ve been listening to their podcast for years! I, too, am a blue dot in a red sea (AR). So much they talk about is so incredibly relatable! Do yourself a favor—listen to their podcast!

Brutally honest

I had no idea what this was about nor have I ever listened to their podcast. I have clips on Instagram and related with them and thought they were humorous. Enjoyed hearing about their lives and struggles. Will definitely go watch Home Sweet Oklahoma and listen to their podcast.

Felt

Coming from a lost gay man in Kansas. Listening to you ladies and how your lives have played out has giving me new found gratitude to be alive. I didn’t know it but I needed this book in my life. Thank you both for opening up and sharing the way you two do. It really means a lot and If it’s helped me I know it’s helping others. Can’t wait to hear your next podcast episode of witty heart felt grievances and solutions! Much love! 🥹🤗🥰💪🇺🇸
