Flex Your Confidence Muscle: How to Overcome Your Limiting Beliefs and Finally Take Action

I really enjoyed this book. I liked that it contained practical exercises and activities on understanding and improving yourself and dealing with your insecurities. The language chosen is simple and friendly, it sounds like the author is a friend giving you advice. The situations and examples described by the author can be found in everyone's life, which is also why I found the book to be very personal and I felt like it was speaking directly to me. The author also suggests other outside resources to take inspiration from (youtube videos, podcasts, etc.) which I found to be always on point and interesting. Overall I found the book very inspiring and motivating, it helped me understand myself better and improve my way of thinking. I took the time to read it slowly, at my own pace, to learn from every single word and do all the exercises. It's funny to realize how changing your way of thinking even in a small way can make a big difference in your life and relationships. The book helped me achieve this. Definitely recommended!!

I was walking through Barnes and Nobles one day here in San Diego and saw Janelle at a book signing (I didn't know who she was at the time) taking pictures with other women while flexing their biceps. I thought it must be a book about working out or something. I was curious, so I looked up her event on the Barnes & Noble website. For some reason, I ordered the book even though it seemed to be marketed toward women.Granted, I read a LOT, and have a business that focuses on your Inner Self, but when I received Janelle's book I did something I haven't done in a long time. I read it from cover to cover. What I absolutely loved is that Janelle owns the fact that she is a work in progress. She had the courage to step past her insecurities and take massive, messy action. I think that is why I couldn't put the book down. I felt like I was reading MY story. She is so open, honest, and relatable.This is an excellent book for women AND men, especially if the biggest obstacle in your life...IS YOU! Janelle also provides some practical next steps that will allow you to step boldly into your greatness. READ THIS BOOK!

Janelle makes it so plain and simple on how to live an extraordinary life! She gives great examples and practical tips in so many areas. I am def going to start my one thing tomorrow!

I'd like to start off by saying I don't particularly enjoy reading and only do so if I think what I am reading will be for my personal gain...and boy did this book deliver. Not only was it an easy read, like talking with a friend, but it was refreshingly vulnerable and therefore relatable. This thought-provoking book has already challenged me to consider what limiting beliefs I have held onto that are holding me back from reaching my full potential. I have huge dreams but I haven't seen the results I would like (yet!) and often struggle with perfectionism hindering me from taking action. Janelle's pearls of wisdom have already started to help me change my mindset. I have a long way to go but I am excited to take "messy action" and work towards making those dreams a reality. I truly think that this book is life-changing and I can't wait to see where it leads me.

Until reading this book, I didn’t realize how many negative thought patterns or as Janelle calls them “limiting beliefs” I actually had. Janelle is real and raw with sharing her own story which is incredibly powerful and she offers some practical tips, exercises and resources to help overcome limiting beliefs and replace them with positive ways of thinking.I highly recommend doing the journaling exercises and taking time between each chapter to allow yourself to sit with the material. I experienced so much healing from reading this and will definitely be re-reading again and again!

Literally loved this book from cover to cover. Janelle shares real stories in hopes of helping the reader understand where our thoughts on confidence come from. She shares frameworks and tools to help us reshape our beliefs to becoming the most confident versions of ourselves! I loved the real time activities that were included as well. 10 out of 10 recommend!

This book was not helpful at all. I did not enjoy reading it and actually found it boring. Not recommended

I went into this book thinking “well I don’t really struggle with confidence but it’s always good to improve and learn more”. And the moment I started reading I was having revelations about how I’m living my own life. I’d recommend this for all women wanting to live to their fullest potential !

It felt like Janelle took a can opener to my skull, pulled out my users manual and all of the things and ideas I struggle with and put them on paper. I devoured this book in one sitting weeping through the whole thing. I’ve never felt so seen in my entire life.
