Take the Lead

An Essay

De: Jessica Simpson

Narrado por: Jessica Simpson

An inspiring and revealing essay about motherhood, self-acceptance, and overcoming the fears that hold you back by the #1 New York Times bestselling author of Open Book.

“If I want to lead myself into something greater than yesterday, I have to surrender the things that scare me and hold me back.”

Jessica Simpson collected so much emotional baggage over the course of her life that she began to feel like she couldn’t carry anything else. She knew she needed to confront her fears. She made a to-do list for the life she wanted. No more struggling to please everyone else. No more dulling the pain. No more avoiding the scary stuff. From now on, she’ll focus only on the expectations she has for herself. With her inviting warmth and trademark intimacy, Jessica reflects on the example of her daughters and son, reclaiming her power and taking the lead in her own life.

Beautiful words.

I have listened to this audiobook multiple times and highlighted many words in the Kindle version. This book is truly a gem. Jessica’s words are wise and timely, and genuine encouragement for anyone, especially for me as a mom. I’ve been deeply moved and will continue to let her words sit with me.

I just love her!

Jessica is so strong! I love that she is a wonderful mother and wife. She deserves all the happiness she can handle. This is very inspirational! I CAN DO IT!!

YES!!! Love this!

I always looked up to Jessica growing up, but also questioned a lot of what I saw on TV about her. So grateful I took the chance to listen to this. Especially as a mom, this hit home and made me re-connect with her, I can’t wait to read her book now!

Give it a try

I have Audible and just figured I’d give it a try I had bought a Jessica’s book open book (when it came out still haven’t read it) but now I’m so excited to read it or listen to it!! This is uplifting and relatable! It’s life from her life and her struggles and a celebrity is showing she’s real. She bruises and she heals. We forget that when we look at their life on the screen! You got to give a try. You have nothing to lose and everything to gain! ❤️

Raw Truth

I didn’t expect to become emotional but her words resonated so deeply with me. There is no ego, no fluff, just humanity and vulnerability. Thank you Jessica ❤️
