The Thimbles Summary
Girl, Stop Apologizing
The book in one sentence
Women are entitled to big ambitions, and achieving them starts with dropping the excuses that hold them back, then building the habits and skills that move a dream into reality.
Who it's for
Women with a goal, a business idea or a dream they keep putting off, especially those who feel guilty about wanting more, and anyone who needs a direct push to stop waiting for permission.
The big idea
Hollis, an author, entrepreneur and motivational speaker, argues that many women apologise, openly or quietly, for wanting more from life. They downplay their ambitions, put everyone else first and wait for approval that never comes. Following her earlier bestseller Girl, Wash Your Face, this book is less about personal struggles and more about pursuing goals. It is organised in three parts: excuses to let go of, behaviours to adopt and skills to acquire. Throughout, she uses stories from her own life and business, including her mistakes, to show what that journey looks like in practice.
