"The Secrets of Six-Figure Women" is a book written by Barbara Stanny. The book explores the habits and behaviors of successful women who earn six-figure incomes or more, and provides insights into how other women can achieve financial success.
The book is divided into three parts. The first part profiles women who have achieved six-figure incomes in a variety of fields, including business, law, and the arts. The second part explores the common traits and habits of these successful women, such as confidence, perseverance, and a willingness to take risks. The third part provides practical advice and strategies for women who want to increase their income and achieve financial success.
One of the key messages of the book is that financial success is not just about hard work and talent, but also about mindset and behavior. The author argues that many women hold themselves back from achieving financial success because of limiting beliefs and behaviors, such as a fear of failure or a reluctance to negotiate for higher salaries.
The book provides practical advice and strategies for overcoming these barriers and achieving financial success, including tips for negotiating salaries, building networks and relationships, and managing finances. The author also emphasizes the importance of setting clear financial goals and taking concrete steps to achieve them.

Hey hope you're well. Do you have any book recs with female characters reinventing themselves, or coming back stronger? Something along those lines, ifykwim.
Also movie recs, if you can.
Have a good day.
Hi love!
Books that come to mind:
Untamed by Glennon Doyle
City of Girls by Elizabeth Gilbert
The Year of Magical Thinking by Joan Didion
Eleanor Oliphant Is Completely Fine by Gail Honeyman
Educated by Tara Westover
Wild by Cheryl Strayed
Movies that come to mind:
The Devil Wears Prada (also a book but I just love Meryl Streep in the movie too much to not recommend this one!)
Legally Blonde (another classic everyone should be able to reference off-hand!)
The First Wives Club
P.S. I Love You
Easy A
Bridesmaids
** Firefly Lane is a great Netflix show in a similar genre
Hope this helps xx

We lead our lives like water flowing down a hill, going more or less in one direction until we splash into something that forces us to find a new course.

"It is a common saying that women are delicate creatures; flowers, eggs, anything that can be crushed in a moment's carelessness. If I ever believed it, I no longer did."

"Stop breaking yourself down into bite-sized pieces. Stay whole and let them choke."
"They're just a distraction. Carry on as you were."
"Crumbs can’t feed me. I want the cake."
"Your character is not to be judged by the mistakes you make – but your ability to hold yourself accountable, interrogate your actions and come back with the correct behaviour."
"Promise yourself to stop buying into people’s potential. You’re not a start-up investor."
"No one’s approval is ever worth compromising your own boundaries and abandoning your own beliefs for."

Don't wait for it," I said. "Create a world, your world. Alone. Stand alone. Create. And then the love will come to you, then it comes to you. It was only when I wrote my first book that the world I wanted to live in opened to me.
Anaïs Nin, The Diary of Anais Nin Volume 1 1931-1934

Women began their inner emancipation by their access to literature, by access to the world through books; an access they could not have socially or politically, or of course economically, in the world at large.
