All She Wrote Books May Breakfast Club

This May, our Breakfast Club will read Burnout by Emily Nagoski, PhD and Amelia Nagoski, DMA. Mark your calendar for Sunday, May 18th at 10:30am as we gather at All She Wrote Books to discuss this primer on how to stop letting the world dictate how you live and what we think of ourselves.

Event Highlights:

• Immersive Book Discussion with a Community of Enthusiastic Readers
• Coffee and pastries from local French bakery, Michette
• 
  

Tickets are limited to due to capacity at the bookstore, and each ticket will include either:

• A copy of the breakfast book club pick; or 
• General admission that includes coffee and pastries.

There are many ways to obtain a copy of the book (aside from your public library) — you can purchase it through allshewrotebooks.com, Bookshop.org, or Libro.fm to help support our work!

Our event has a limited capacity and we want to ensure that as many people as possible are able to attend. By letting us know that you can no longer attend, we can open up your spot to someone on our waitlist who is eager to participate.

"Inclusivity" isn't just a buzzword to us. We make every effort to ensure our space and events are accessible to and for everyone. If you or someone in your party needs accommodations, please email us at [email protected].

About the Book:

Burnout. You, like most American women, have probably experienced it. What’s expected of women and what it’s really like to exist as a woman in today’s world are two different things—and we exhaust ourselves trying to close the gap. Sisters Emily Nagoski, PhD, and Amelia Nagoski, DMA, are here to help end the all-too-familiar cycle of feeling overwhelmed and exhausted. They compassionately explain the obstacles and societal pressures we face—and how we can fight back. 

You’ll learn

• what you can do to complete the biological stress cycle

• how to manage the “monitor” in your brain that regulates the emotion of frustration

• how the Bikini Industrial Complex makes it difficult for women to love their bodies—and how to defend yourself against it

• why rest, human connection, and befriending your inner critic are keys to recovering from and preventing burnout

With the help of eye-opening science, prescriptive advice, and helpful worksheets and exercises, all women will find something transformative in Burnout—and will be empowered to create positive change.
