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.

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.

Publisher's summary
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.

If there is one thing Lincee Ray has learned over the years, it's that the majority of women on the planet struggle with insecurities. Our skinny jeans mock us. Our just-trying-to-help mothers are just driving us crazy. Our social media feeds taunt us with everyone else's picture-perfect lives. It's enough to send you on a gummy-bear bender while binge-watching Friends reruns and not showering for a week. Lincee knows. She's been there. Right there, in fact. Gummy bears and all.

Something was nagging Marina Shifrin. As a freshly minted adult with student loan payments and a “real” job she hated that paid her enough to get by if she also worked two other jobs, something needed to change. Marina and her friend each made lists of 30 things they’d do before the age of 30. The first thing on Marina’s list was, “Quit My Shitty Job”. So she did, and just like that the List powered her through her twenties. Told with humor and heart, 30 Before 30 will entertain, motivate, and challenge listeners to get out of their comfort zones and live their best lives.

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.
