We all have a badass inside of us, someone who stands up for themselves and others. Someone who gets shit done. Someone who knows what they want and makes it happen and doesn't let anyone-or anything-stand in our way. The trouble is, sometimes that badass is deep inside of us and struggles to get out. Fear all too often keeps us from being our true badass selves. Depression and anxiety can make that actualization tough, too. Jenny Block's Badass Manifesting guides her audience to find their badass confidence and resilience through a series of powerful and passionate mantras.
"Jenny Block has taken manifesting from the 'woo woo' world to the real world with this charming guide that helps badasses-and those soon to be badasses-find, free, and be their very best selves."
-Noah Michelson, director of HuffPost Personal and cohost of the famed HuffPost podcast Am I Doing It Wrong
"The world needs a guide to the subject of being a badass, and I can't think of a better person to supply
it than Jenny. She definitely knows a thing or two about power, domination, style, and an overall take-no-prisoners outlook that we all can learn from."
-Isaac Mizrahi, performer and internationally known fashion designer
"Jenny offers a fun, digestible, and perspective driven reminder-via memorable mantras, relatable expositions, and her signature positive spirit-that we don't need permission from anyone to live a Life of Yes."
-Sara K. Runnels, writer and humorist
"No one does it better than Jenny! We should all learn how to better advocate for ourselves, and this book shows you how to do that in true badass style. It opens up a world of possibilities! It shows you how positive thought outweighs negative, helping you to achieve your dreams."
-Nicole Miller, fashion designer
"Badass Manifesting is my kind of book-nononsense, in-your-face, and straightforward. I detest empty clichés that promise magic results, and this book has none of that dribble-drabble. These are the kinds of manifestations that I believe truly work. Jenny Block has put them in one convenient place and delivers them in small, bite-sized, easily digestible pieces. This book has such an open-minded perspective; whatever your belief system is, you will feel seen and invited to participate. I believe in active meditation and the ability to sculpt your life, starting with that little voice in your head. Jenny arms that voice with the right words to motivate change and manifest dreams…like the badasses we all truly are."
-Christina Wells, AGT semifinalist, Broadway national touring artist, and motivational speaker
