Review: This book, this book, THIS BOOK!! - I first met Judi at MPI WEC in Las Vegas 2017 and have been following her journey closely since then. I have been eagerly anticipating her book release and when it arrived I was thrilled. There were many favorite parts of the book but let me highlight my top 7: 1) I love how Judi uses a variety of quotes to start off each chapter. I am a sucker for a good quote. 2) I really appreciated the stories that Judi used throughout the entire book from her personal experience as well as observations she had from her peers and mentors. It gave the book a much more "real" feeling that other books which stay at too high a level and are impersonal. 3) I also respected how Judi consistently gave different mentors and authors credit when she discussed successful strategies and action plans she learned and practiced. Loved that. 4) The chapter on saying "YES" to a variety of opportuntiies that come to you when they come really resonated with me. I find too many people say "NO" and then regret it lately and this chapter hit home. Ironically, I have already been practicing this mindset for several years and reading it in the book made me nod my head and whisper "I knew I was on the right path." 5) I also enjoyed how each chapter had a theme and the final chapter tied all the themes back together with definitive action steps and suggestions. Excellent way to tell the story. 6) I could relate to the different times Judi would mention that even though she didn't have a strong relationship with her mom, she still was able to find a maternal role model and did not allow this to stop her from succeeding. Another very real and relatable element of the book. 7) Finally, I love that Judi is unashamed for her love of hip-hop (I love hip-hop too) and spoke about how when she finally embraced this love, she was able to really find her ideal clients and her tribe. Great quick story that makes me love the story even more. I highly recommend the book and will be adding it to my Reading LIst for my college classes. Can't wait for the next book!! Review: Conquering the wild jungle of our own minds. - I've got some thoughts on this gem of a book by Judi Holler. It's like a survival guide for us scaredy-cats out there, except instead of wilderness tips, it's all about conquering the wild jungle of our own minds. First, let's talk about the title: 'Fear is my homeboy.' I mean, seriously? If fear is your homeboy, consider me the President of the Fear Fan Club because this book had me nodding along like, 'Yep, fear, I see you lurking in the shadows, but guess what? You're getting evicted! Holler's writing style? It's like your best friend giving you a pep talk, except this friend is armed with humor, advice, and so much motivation to fill your mind. You'll find yourself laughing one minute and feeling pumped up the following, ready to take on whatever terrifying thing life throws your way. And the practical advice - including exercises that'll have you feeling like a Jedi Master of your fears. Holler serves up some severe wisdom with a side of motivation. Plus, she's not afraid to get honest about her struggles, which makes you feel like you're chatting with a fellow fear-fighter over a glass of wine (or three). So, if you're tired of letting fear crash on your couch rent-free, do yourself a favor and grab a copy of this book.

Fearless, funny, and fiercely motivating
This book gave me more than motivation, it gave me practical tools to stop playing small. If fear has been holding you back from speaking up, showing up, or going after what you really want, this is your wake-up call. Buy it, highlight the hell out of it, and keep it close. It’s that good! Judi Holler has a way with words - I can’t wait to read her next book, too.

This is such a great read for professional development that I don't want to end!!
I am loving the confidence this book is giving me to BOSS UP and become a better leader but also to help me organize my days to make it all work! The author teaches you to protect your assets at all cost which are YOU! Just like a CEO protects their organization. This could be a quick and easy read to go through because it is so good, but I am enjoying taking it slow and soaking it all in. I literally have dog ear's and sticky notes of takeaways and quotes throughout each chapter of this book! I am almost at the end but I don't want it too! I recently started following Judi Holler on Instagram and watching her stories. Oh, I just love her fun personality!! She reminds me of myself and the gives me the energy I crave on a hard day! I am excited for what else this author will bring to the world next! Fear is my homeboy is a must read for any woman running her own business or being a successful confident BOSS! Anyone can take these nuggets she teaches and use them to move forward and grow!

You need this book! Yes, NEED.
I am a sucker for personal development books. I've read the likes of John C. Maxwell, Simon Sinek, Stephen Covey, Glennon Doyle, Jen Sincero, Rachel Hollis, Dave Hollis, Trent Shelton, Brene Brown, etc. - and I am VERY happy to now add Judi Holler to that list. I absolutely LOVED this book. Judi's writing style is so real, keeps you engaged, easy to read, FUN, and was a breath of fresh air for me. This book gives you a nice kick in the booty (in the best way) - whether you think you need one or not. And let me tell you, we all could use a good one now and again. This book is great for readers of all personal development levels - beginner, intermediate, and even advanced peeps like myself. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

The BEST read in a long time
This book has honestly been the best read in a long time for me. I’m pretty confident and will talk under water to anyone who will listen 😜 or so I thought.. I love helping people - I’m the type of person who gets more enjoyment from giving presents than getting them or helping people with transformations. But lately, when it comes to helping people in a business sense, I shy away. This book taught me that we make up stories in our head about what people think, or why certain things occur when in actual fact, that’s not the case. We then get crippled by these stories and hide behind that fear. Fear is my Homeboy has taught me to recognise the BS I tell myself and thrive off that feeling to grow - I can’t recommend this book enough!

Must Read!
“Excuses are one of the ways fear keeps us stuck, safe and just the same” - Fear Is My Homeboy (pg. xii) This book is a game changer. If you’ve been feeling stuck, safe and just the same, this book will change everything for you. I absolutely love the heart work included in the book - challenges to get you connected to yourself and homework to pull you out of your shell. This is not just a book you read - it is an interactive experience! I cannot recommend it enough.

See it. Embrace it. Move within it.
This book came at the recommendation of a friend - an action which in and of itself lives out the momentum message of its content. Naturally prone to high levels of anxiety, and self-doubt, this book has been both needed and practically empowering. The authenticity of the author’s heart leaps off the page and it’s impossible for your mindset not to be shifted! I am grateful for the encouragement in Holler’s words; my flamingo pink highlighting as I went through will allow me to return to affirmations enabling me to consistently reframe my mind in a state of courage and belief.
