Meet Your New Favorite Summer Read – Tough Titties by Laura Belgray If you don’t already know Laura (ummm…hello?), then you should! She's an amazing copywriter, writer, and master storyteller, and she’s flippin’ hilarious.  Laura has been a dear friend of mine for six or seven years and has been on the Thrive by Design podcast before, but today is extra special because she’s treating us to an inside look at her new book, Tough Titties, which releases on June 13th! Tough Titties Author Laura Belgray is a Gifted Storyteller  Laura has an innate ability to share real-life stories in a way that makes us feel connected and tucked inside her world, not just an outside observer. She finds humor in everyday moments, which she skillfully crafts into easy-to-consume stories that are engaging and entertaining. This is her true gift. In EP412: Meet Your New Favorite Summer Read – Tough Titties by Laura Belgray, Laura dished about… Searching for book themes like the late-bloomer theme and the not-doing-life-the-way you're-supposed-to theme and the coming-of-age-as-a-dork-in-New-York theme Her favorite chapters in Tough Titties including, “He’s Never Going to Leave Her” about her lying, cheating narcissistic pathological married salsa instructor, or the titular chapter about her late-blooming-B-turned-DD-cup boobs  How she met her husband Steven, who cooks cleans and decorates (and yeah, he's straight) Why her stubbornness cost her a multi-6 figure book deal, but allowed her to write the book she wanted to write And so much more! Why Tough Titties is the Best Summer Read of 2023 The writing is incredibly compelling, and there’s an arc to it. Laura’s storytelling mastery captures your attention, so you can’t wait to see where’s it going or what’s going to happen, “Is she going to find her thing? Is she ever going to find love or grow up to become an actual adult? And the spoiler? Not really.”  Even though Tough Titties is not a self-help book, it does insight some wisdom and inspiration. “I think if you've ever felt behind in your life for your career, it's going to make you feel a lot better. If you feel like you could use a little permission to be more of yourself. It will give you that.”   Here are the resources mentioned in the show: Order Tough Titties and Bonuses!
