My Foot Is Too Big for the Glass Slipper

A Guide to the Less Than Perfect Life

De: Gabrielle Reece, Karen Karbo

Narrado por: Gabrielle Reece, Karen Karbo

Much has happened to Gabrielle Reece since her 1997 best seller Big Girl in the Middle. She’s still gorgeous, still 6’3”, and a dominant force on and off the beach, but in the last 15 years, she’s settled down with world-class surfer Laird Hamilton and raised three stunning blonde girls. Her life might seem like a fairy tale from afar, but four years after her picture-perfect Hawaiian marriage to Laird, Gabrielle filed for divorce. In the end, the couple worked it out, but My Foot Is Too Big for the Glass Slipper tells the unvarnished and often hilarious tale of the turbulent ups and downs that beset every wife and mother - even the women like Gabrielle who seem to have it all.

Reece writes with wicked humor and down-to-earth wit about how she handles the sometimes mind-numbing details of domestic life, and she turns the notion that women can “have it all” on its head. As Gabby dismantles the notion of happily ever after, she gives readers plenty of concrete takeaways about how to deal. She underscores the notion that you have to make yourself happy before you can make anyone else happy.

My Foot Is Too Big for the Glass Slipper is an irresistible, hilarious, and helpful portrait of the humor, grace, and humility it really takes to stay sane given the challenges of being a modern wife and mother.

Really Liked It

I really enjoyed this book. I ordered it after hearing her on a podcast and thought it might be interesting to hear about her journey. She is very candid in the book and transparent without being overly dramatic. Her voice is pleasant to listen to which isn't always the case with people reading their own stories.

She's still young so hopefully she will do another edition in 20 years!

Everything I needed to hear and more

I have been searching for a female role model for a while due to feeling lost and confused in my relationship and life, and this book has helped me understand so much. Gabrielle Reece is an amazing woman and I hope I can live by the same codes she has talked about in this book to be a real Woman/Queen and not a little girl/princess. This book helps women understand a males perspective and how to orchestrate a successful family relationship. This is a book I would listen to over and over again.

G Reece keeps it real!

I loved this book and wish there was more. Gabby has such a great perspective on life, family and wellness! We carry so much bs around and it’s wonderful when a woman who seems to have a perfect life says, “are you effing kidding me?” Love this book and loved her narration. I will definitely be listening to this again and again as a reminder to be true to myself and to KEEP IT REAL. thank you, Gabby!!

Spot on and just what I needed

Gabrielle is a breath of fresh air... brutally honest because there is no other way with her and that resonates with me. I thoroughly enjoyed every bit of this book it was real and humorous no sugarcoating the realities of relationships marriage and parenthood. She has a no nonsense back to basics simple philosophy ..there's no cheating in life no shortcuts just do the work and you will have results whether it be in relationships or trying to maintain a healthy body.

Great book

Gabby was very real in talking about her life and family. Good book to listen to, especially being a woman around her age.
