Acerca de esta escucha
There was only one problem with Abby's good life. It was slowly killing her. Tired of mundane roles at work and exhausting routines at home, uninspired by the corporate BS, and desperate to do something anything to feel alive, Abby Lou Walker was determined to keep living the good parts of her life and satisfy her desire for something more.
Armed with a bit of curiosity, some courage, and a love of high heels, she strapped on a pair and set out on her quest. What transpired was a hero's journey of epic proportions full of inspired steps and chance encounters that empowered her to launch her own company, trample internal demons, find joyful balance as a wife, mom, and entrepreneur, and ultimately hit her stride with the help of numerous allies who showed up along the way.
Strap on a Pair is Abby's raw and humorous account of this adventure, written to inspire courage and curiosity in fellow middle-aged, middle-management, middle-class moms who crave something more.

Two women. Many aliases. Meg Williams. Maggie Littleton. Melody Wilde. Different names for the same person, depending on the town, depending on the job. She's a con artist who erases herself to become whoever you need her to be—a college student. A life coach. A real estate agent. Nothing about her is real. She slides alongside you and tells you exactly what you need to hear, and by the time she's done, you've likely lost everything.

Jamie Fiore Higgins became one of the few women at the highest ranks of Goldman Sachs. Spurred on by the obligation she felt to her working-class immigrant family, she rose through the ranks and saw it all: out-of-control, lavish parties flowing with never-ending drinks; affairs flouted in the office; rampant drug use; and most pervasively, a discriminatory culture that seemed designed to hold back the few women and people of color employed at the company.

A remarkable writing debut, filled with indelible moments, The Buy Side shows as no book ever has the rewards—and dizzying temptations—of making a living on the Street. Growing up in the 1980’s Turney Duff was your average kid from Kennebunk, Maine, eager to expand his horizons. After trying – and failing – to land a job as a journalist, he secured a trainee position at Morgan Stanley and got his first feel for the pecking order that exists in the trading pits.

As Amazing As I Knew It Would Be
When I listened to Abby on Glambition Radio, she strummed my pain with her words. It was like I was hearing my own words come from someone else’s mouth. So, I got the book. I love how vulnerable she was willing to be to achieve this goal. Perfect imperfection.
