You Can't Have It All The Basic B*tch Guide to Taking the Pressure Off

THE INSTANT NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER
From New York Times bestselling author, star of House of Stassi, OG star of Vanderpump Rules, and host of the successful podcast Stassi, a “raw, relatable...brutally funny” (Bustle) guide to rethinking the girlboss life, taking the pressure off, and the lessons Stassi Schroeder's learned since becoming a mom of two.
Before she wrote Off with My Head, a book about hitting what felt like rock bottom, Stassi Schroeder was writing an entirely different story: a basic bitch's guide on how to be a—wait for it—“girlboss.” But then 2020 came along and after a global pandemic, losing her job, becoming a mom, and getting married, suddenly, being a girlboss wasn't the vibe. Instead of giving up, Stassi grew and learned from her mistakes (you know, just standard evolution).
After two and a half years in limbo, Stassi was ready to launch her career again. She'd come a long way from that temperamental “Season One Stassi.” She'd gained a new perspective on what she wants out of life: to carve a path for herself, on her terms. The thing is, all this pressure to “have it all” while girlbossing it up...it's exhausting, and Stassi isn't sure it's the ticket to happiness that we all thought it was.
That's truly what this book is about: the desire for joy, and accepting that you may not be the “perfect” parent/partner/friend/human—and that's okay! Instead of letting mom guilt or work guilt get her down, Stassi encourages us all to take the pressure off, give ourselves grace, and lean into the things that bring us happiness. And if you need a little sauvignon blanc or Aperol spritz to get you through the tough days...cheers!
