Narrado por: Laura Tremaine, Jenna Fischer

Part memoir and part guidebook, Share Your Stuff. I'll Go First. is the invitation you've been waiting for to show up with your whole self and discover the intimate, meaningful friendships you long for.

In spite of the hyper-connected culture we live in today, women still feel shamed for oversharing and being publicly vulnerable. And no matter how many friends we seem to have, many of us are still desperately lonely.

Laura Tremaine, blogger and podcaster behind 10 Things to Tell You, says it's time for something better. Openness and vulnerability are the foundation for human growth and healthy relationships, and it all starts when we share our stuff, the nitty-gritty daily details about ourselves with others. Laura has led the way in her personal life with her popular blog and podcast, and now with lighthearted self-awareness, a sensitivity to the important things in life, and compelling storytelling, Laura gives you the tools to build and deepen the conversations happening in your life.

Laura's stories about her childhood, her complicated shifts in faith and friendships, and her marriage to a Hollywood movie director will prompt you to identify the beautiful narrative and pivotal milestones of your own life. Each chapter offers intriguing and reflective questions that will reveal unique details and stories you've never thought to tell and will guide you into cultivating the authentic connection with others that only comes from sharing yourself.

So let’s get started! Share Your Stuff. I'll Go First.

Perfect

Enjoyed this in every single way! I bought a copy for one of my best friends before I even finished it.

Outstanding!

I couldn't slow down so I'll need to listen again & again. Thank you Laura!

Better than I expected

I kind of bought this to be nice— I follow a bunch of podcasters who are friends with the author and who were promoting her book for pre-sale, and so I went ahead and bought it, and have just not done anything with it for almost two years. It seemed like a foolish decision for a long time. But once I got into it, I related more deeply than I expected to. I think I’ll go back and write out my answers over time. It might not have fit me then, but it seems to now.

Must Read!

The exact handbook we need in this unprecedented time to give us specific examples of how to show up again with people and online in meaningful ways.

Thoroughly enjoyed this book!

Loved the message of the book!! Also loved the author's performance on audible!! Would definitely recommend, very timely topic!!

Like having a beautiful conversation with a best friend

I found this book in my favorite bookstore. It called to me. Loved it! It prompted me to start writing my own answers to her 10 questions. Beautiful, vulnerable, thought provoking. I was sad when it ended.

Wow

This was an incredible book! Beautiful, honest, vulnerable, smart! Will be thinking about these stories and the questions posed for years to come. 5 stars all around. Bravo!

Hit close to home and helped me self reflect!

As an Oklahoman (and Theta!), and youngest of three who packed up my life and moved to Portland after college there were so many parallels that made me feel like I was almost hearing my inner-dialogue and reliving my past in a more thoughtful, reflective manner. Laura is a captivating story teller, genuine and vulnerable and made me feel like I was listening to a friend.

Thought provoking and compelling

This book causes introspection, it is both light hearted and extremely deep and meaningful. It is easy to listen to but encourages you to think about your own life and experiences and how they have shaped the person you are and are becoming. Worth the listen and I plan to purchase the hard copy. Very well done.

Highly recommend

Such an insightful and enjoyable listen. Read the book when it was first released but there’s something special being able to listen to the author tell/read her own stories.
