Women Like Us: A Memoir

Product Information

An accessible introduction to yoga, taught in a staged approach to be inclusive to all. Yoga practice is more than just the postures; we will also focus on breathing and relaxation, and their benefits to the body, mind and soul. My thoughts: wow! What an raw, honest and simply stunning memoir that Amanda has gifted us. I hadn’t read any of her fiction titles but I knew I needed to read her story. I can relate to so much of what she battles through. Anxiety with food and struggling with acceptance has been tough for me as well and I felt that Amanda was reading my thoughts! I want to say thank you for being so brave to put your entire story out there for us to cheer you on and remind ourselves that we are enough and worth it. I’ve read several of Prowse’s books over the last few years. Reading her very honest memoir makes me like her even more. Follow my lead and move with the music. Two left feet? No problem! Easy to follow steps that repeat through the song make it simple to follow. Working at your own intensity lightly stepping or all out bouncing thats up to you! Infectious tunes that you just can’t help but move along to, you can’t help but fall in love with Zumba.

The only thing that I disagreed with is where Amanda refers to her readers as strangers. However to her millions of fans around the world, we all already feel that Amanda is a friend. She and her husband always take the time to reply to her fans in her own down to earth fashion, and I challenge anyone to finish this book and not want to count Amanda as a friend.Amanda Prowse has opened up about her life in a way that I feel will relate to many, many women out there.

Amanda Prowse | International Bestselling Author

The author was open and honest about life’s not so special moments. Her life has been a journey full of ups and downs, and Amanda stresses that is normal. A popular TV and radio personality, Amanda is well known for her insightful observations and infectious humour. I absolutely love Amanda Prowse and was over the moon to receive her memoir and what an amazing woman and inspiration she is. I found it almost a cathartic experience in places, feeling perhaps less isolated reading words and sentences that she could have taken straight out of my head.

I will be honest - Amanda Prowse’s name was familiar to me, but I didn’t know who she was (in fact, I thought she was an actress, not an author). So, saying that I went into this book completely blind - when there also wasn’t a description - is extremely accurate. I thought, from the title, this would be some short stories under the over-arching umbrella of stories about women - possibly about her or possibly about women in her life. I’ve heard of Amanda Prowse but have never read any of her books. I enjoyed this autobiography and she seems like a very down to earth person who would be fun to hang out with. I have always loved Amanda’s fictional books, and her other memoir with her son, Josiah Hartley (which was also extremely open and honest), so to read about her childhood and her early life and how she became the fabulous author that she is, has just been amazing.
