What readers are saying
“Reviewed in the United States on June 30, 2021 This reminded me of "Big Magic"; but I liked it better. I want to draw all of the characters from the book.”

“Passion Wisdom reads like a fictional story - light and easy, like checking in with one of your girls and hearing a life update. But the story is packed with clear, insightful moments - brought to you by the main character and her eclectic cast of friends and family. It's a book to read in a day and come back to again and again for years as a reminder of the essential things we humans all manage to forget. ”
— H Hoyle
“My favorite part. I realized I have a Wisdom Board and it’s time to listen closer. This gem from Passion Wisdom - “If you are interested in personal growth, you have come to the right place. Each woman in this group has different strengths and we all support each other when life gets tough. We believe every woman needs a Wisdom Board,". I whole heartedly agree!”

“Reviewed in the United States on July 13, 2020 The author uses a fictional story to provide tips and strategies for being more productive, such as "create more than consume" and wisdom boards. It's a quick read that you may want to read all or part of it again later. The tips are good to know and can be used when needed. I received a free copy to review.”

“This book wasn't what I expected. You have to understand, I'm practically allergic to self help books. They absolutely bore me to tears, and I can't get through them no matter how much I want the information contained within their pages. But this one is different! It reads like a light novel. Each section highlights a different concept, which is put forth through the experience of a woman pulling herself out of crisis to discover her creative passion and needs. The suggestions on how to identify and pursue one's creative passions were insightful. As I read, I found myself thinking of my own creative passions, and how I might implement some of the ideas set forth in this story. The story itself flowed well. I read the book in only two sittings, ignoring other tasks because I was hooked. There were very minimal grammatical errors, and none distracted from the content. I'm simply one of those people who notices those things. I'd encourage anyone to read this book. I suspect I'll read it again at a later date, and I'll probably incorporate some of the ideas into my own life. K received a free copy if this book in exchange for my honest review.”

The Dumb Blonde Approach (2016)
A Memoir
I am a 5 foot blonde female with an average IQ. I had a fear of not knowing; fear of being “just” a dumb little blonde facing the big dark world, with absolutely NO new millennium credentials. I will put FEAR under my feet. In fact, I am going to stand right on my fear and make it my soapbox! I might even do it barefoot and pregnant in the kitchen while doing dishes and eating bonbons; and make THAT statement a bullet point on my “not” career friendly resume. I will embrace my appearance, my femininity, my weaknesses and especially my ignorance. I will overthrow century old stereotypes of women but especially the bogus new millennium feminist expectations. I will become… a courageous five foot force to be reckoned with. And I will use the Dumb Blonde Approach in this fool ruled world.
I will make the argument that the opposite of stupid is NOT smart. DUMB is the opposite of stupid! Wisdom and courage cannot exist without humility and vulnerability; both are characteristics of those who humbly learn to say, “I just don’t know”; who can stand in front of others naked and unashamed…vulnerable. Traits most of the credentialed world might blindly consider dumb.
The Stupidity Factor is a phrase I coined to describe the foolishness that opposes life and produces death. The Stupidity Factor affects us all. The Dumb Blonde Approach is my sword I will wield to combat the Stupidity Factor. The Stupidity Factor was, is and always will be life halting foolishness both in the world and within ourselves.
The Stupidity Factor agitates us, wounds us, produces pain and battles our souls. We all collaborate with The Stupidity Factor when we fear the unknown and lose touch with our best-selves. Instead of being aware of and accepting our ignorance, youthfulness, frailties and blind spots; we ignore that we can’t know everything, pretend to be grown-up, hide our weaknesses and blindly launch ourselves into controlling behavior with our disconnected worst-self that damages others and ourselves.
The really cool thing is, we can turn The Stupidity Factor on its head and destroy it by being Dumb and retrieving and becoming our connected best-self. It is an upside down child-like path. It is the only way to take our pain and turn it into a pearls. We have to go down to go up; we must be wounded to heal and as we are becoming precious beauty. The Dumb Blonde Approach is a surprising path to wisdom and freedom.
