19 Quotes To Live By From “Girl, Stop Apologizing” by Rachel Hollis

Rachel Hollis’ new book, “Girl, Stop Apologizing” is jam-packed with words of wisdom, just like her first book. The goal of this book is to help you create a plan for achieving your goals. While the plan is loose, the excuses you need to get over, the behaviors you need to adopt, and the skills you need to learn to reach your goals are fiercely accurate. 

I recommend picking up the book for yourself and taking notes of your own. Here, though, are 19 quotes that really spoke to me throughout the book.
