Do you ever just want someone to help you figure life out - to tell you how to win at work, what guys to stay away from, and what jeans rock your body shape? This audiobook is the perfect cocktail of sass and down-to-earth guidance to navigate your way to the life you want to live. With so much information at your fingertips, real success, good dates, and true friendships can still feel out of reach. Packed with lessons learned from her own mistakes and heartache, Bianca Juarez Olthoff is your guide (minus the cargo shorts and tacky hat) in avoiding unnecessary detours on the path to your best self. With her signature wit, engaging stories, and brilliant insights from a counselor friend, Bianca gives spot-on advice for adulting, career, relationships, and faith. Following the biblical story of Ruth and Naomi, Bianca's humorous and honest anecdotes will empower you to create a successful life and discover all you can be.

This curated manual for the modern woman will help you:

Connect with a mentor, let go of bad friendships, and find a relationship worth keeping
Trust the goodness of God even in loss, betrayal, and unanswered questions
Take initiative, do hard things, and achieve meaningful success
Fall in love with God's Word and see the Bible come alive

Bianca will show you that though life is tough, you are, too.

Love this book! I adore Bianca and her way of speaking. I appreciate her authenticity and down to earth way of communicating and bringing the Bible to life in an enthusiastic and enjoyable way. This book has so much great insight that's worth it's weight in gold. Easy and enjoyable to read, short chapters fit in nicely with my devotional time.

Really oved his book! Chock full of good advice and encouragement.

I laughed, I nodded, I highlighted, I exclaimed,"YES!" with this one. Bianca Oltzhoff is a firecracker who keeps it real in "How To Have Your Life Not Suck: Becoming Today Who You Want To Be Tomorrow." I made lists of people who I wanted to recommend this book to and learned a lot from it myself!

We have many within our society who, honestly, haven't had the support and encouragement they need to move forward into healthy adulthood. I know at different times in my life I wished there had been people who could step up and help, giving me healthy advice. Bianca is that adult who can tell it like it is and still be kind enough to encourage you towards positive change.

Through the anchor of the biblical story of Ruth and Naomi, Olthoff shares specific reasons why Ruth is someone we should follow after, learn from and draw inspiration from. The complex story of what Ruth walked through is broken down into subjects for chapters.

Olthoff shares the stories of unique people she has ministered to through the years as well as examples of the struggles everyone deals with as they become an adult. The book addresses so many things that it is difficult to list them all, but be assured the important things are fully covered. Olthoff also gives insight into how our view of ourselves and who Christ sees us as can often differ. I love that she's not afraid to address difficult topics along with adding the insight from a therapist at the end of each chapter. This book is for anyone who has had issues with accepting the truth that adulting is hard to navigate!

One of my favorite parts of the book centered around her family's powerful story of redemption, second chances and new life in Christ. You will want to keep that highlighter handy, trust me!

If you've never heard of Bianca Olthoff, get ready. She's a powerhouse of a Bible teacher, honest and vulnerable. She has a great sense of humor and a passion for loving people. She has served in many ministry capacities and does not shy away from tough issues. She serves as pastor alongside her husband in Orange County, CA at the church they founded, The Father's House. She is also active in the non profit world, running a prision ministry called In The Name of Love. If you enjoy this book, then also take a look at her prior book, "Play With Fire."
Don't miss this one!

Honest, Funny, Encouraging

Imagine holding a glass of wine and lounging on the couch while listening, laughing, and talking with your homegirl. This is that book. Bianca is honest and funny while delivering wisdom, encouragement, and practical help.

I love Bianca's understandable deep dive into Ruth's life and what we can learn from this book in the Bible. I also like Dr. Deb's Thoughts From A Therapist sections. You get a mix of inspirational and informational learning. Love that.

If you feel a little stuck, this book is for you. That's where I was and it's like Bianca came over to sympathize, cheer me on, then kick me in the behind to get me moving towards a...well...a life that didn't suck!

Keeping it real! And interesting!

Straight from Jocelyn (this is our family amazon acct) So, here's the gist about this author. She is fully her authentic self. She's from Los Angeles and has many deep life experiences. Bianca speaks from a place of knowing what's it's like to question everything around you, but completely surrrending it all to God, who ultimately affirms her and gives her her full voice. She breaks down the story of Ruth, an immigrant (so so relevant to this day in history) and how she took humble beginnings and empowered her in such a way that she changed her life around. Bianca is straight up when she needs to be and kind at other times. But there's no question that whatever state of life you're in, you will glean truth to seek and live out faith in a new refreshing manner. This book is probably key for those in their 20s and 30s, but being totally honest, I just hit 40 and this is speaking to me in more ways than one. If you want to know how Bianca found her fire, read Playing with Fire as well; her debut book rocked my world. May either venture light the fire in you. Be bold. Live faithfully.

Once I Picked It Up, I Couldn't Put it Down!

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on August 28, 2019

What I love about this book is how Bianca shares with us her OWN stories, WHILE telling the story of Ruth. It is relatable, hilarious, helpful, and points the reader to Jesus, in true Bianca Olthoff style! What I respect so much about Bianca is that she is true to herself and who God has made her to be. She isn't trying to fit in a box that other Christians have created, and it gives us the freedom to live that way too. Her words and the story of Ruth are full of wisdom for living a Godly life, through the good and the bad, the ups and the downs, when we mourn and and when we celebrate. I especially loved the chapter on friendship! I am in a season of raising 3 young daughters, and we are constantly having conversations on friendship, what it looks like and how it should feel. I love her demonstration of how Jesus organized his friendships, in the outer circles and then the inner circle. Also, how she talked about those close friends that sometimes it is necessary to work at it, but also helpful to know the best thing might be to release a person from your life when our friendship has run its course. Such freeing and practical advice!! I could go on, but you should just really order it and read it yourself!!!

Are you going through Amazon lost and a little bummed about life? Well this is the book that can help steer you to the right direction!

Bianca Juarez Olthoff has always been a woman of inspiration - she is living a life that doesn't suck which is prevalent in this book. Her story is authentic and it shines in this book - not only does she encourage us to live a life of purpose and one that does not suck but she also gives us practical ways to achieve it. No matter what season of life you are in - you can definitely benefit from this book. I am so excited for anyone who reads this book because they will definitely thrive after reading this.
