“Gardens, and life, benefit from planning, consistency, energy maintenance, and the ability to set limits. Sometimes the most important thing you can do is say this isn’t working and it’s got to go.”

Thank you to partner PRH Audio and Ballantine Books for a gifted copy in exchange for an honest review. 

Peloton completely changed the way I work out and ever since I got my bike, I have never worked out more in my life. Emma Lovewell is one of my favorite instructors. She is constantly in rotation and her attitude always makes me feel great post-workout. It was such a joy to be able to listen to her narrate her book. 

Her journey to Peloton is so interesting and inspiring. Growing up mixed race, never feeling white enough or Asian enough, she recounts her identity struggles and how they impacted her into adulthood. I love her honesty and vulnerability, and I felt that same connection through her book as I do when I take one of her classes.

Emma’s motto is live, learn, love well, and it’s something that’s so simple, but always resonated with me. I also love that she always reminds us that it’s progress, not perfection. We can spend so much time comparing ourselves to others that we don’t take the time to realize how incredible we are individually. 

The audiobook is fantastic, and hearing her reads her words made me smile. She’s raw and honest, sweet and funny, and it’s everything I love in a memoir. I highly recommend checking out the audiobook!

enjoyable if you know of emma. i listened to this on audible as she narrated and it felt like a long form podcast. stories throughout were a little bit disjointed / random & it read more like a self help book but overall enjoyed.
