As we weather the choppy waters we call Life, it’s a decision we will face time and time and time again: Do we cling to a situation that’s taking us under out of fear of letting go of the familiar…or do we open our hand and let go of that friendship, that relationship, that job, that opportunity, or that grievance that we’ve been clinging to, realizing that to flail around uncertainly for a season is all a part of discovering our destiny?
“How do you know so much about letting go and moving on?” You might ask. “What makes you the expert?”
Well, I’m not an expert. Let’s get that straight. I’m not a guru. I’m not a psychologist or a psychiatrist or a counselor or a fortune teller or the Great and Powerful Oz.
I am a single woman. Just like you.
Maybe you’re not a single woman – or even a woman. Maybe you’re just someone who needs to release someone or something that’s holding you back from being your best self and living your best life. And that’s okay, too. As I say on my Twitter page and on my website on a regular basis, anyone looking for inspiration and motivation is welcome here. Anyone looking to leave the past behind and shine is welcome here. And anyone who holds out for the best and refuses to settle for less is welcome here. Married, single, female, male, old, young, gay, straight. Come one, come all!
Just like you – I am a friend. A sister. A daughter. An aunt.
I have loved and lost. I have grieved and clung. I have let go and moved on.
Sneakers or stilettos, I’ve been in your shoes…and I know every step of the journey. Perhaps even better than any guru or expert or counselor or fortune teller.
I am the best friend who will tell you what you NEED to hear and not what you WANT to hear. I am the big sister with the shoulder to cry on when it seems like the rest of the world has turned away. I hope to be the Cruise Director who guides you full steam ahead through the often choppy and turbulent waters of letting go and moving on directly to the white sandy beach of life AFTER letting go and moving on. Do you see me? I’m waiting for you there, fruity drink with the little umbrella in hand.
So what does this actually look like, this “letting go and moving on” thing? What are the steps? What does it mean? And how do you know when it’s time to throw in the towel…call it a day…and walk away? In “The Single Woman’s Sassy Survival Guide to Letting Go & Moving On,” we’ll cover the five major areas of life that we often find ourselves needing to let go of: Relationships, Friendships, Jobs, Opportunities, and Grievances. How are we going to do it? By examining the five benchmarks for letting go and moving on: the Who, the What, the Why, the When, and the How. At the end of each chapter, we’ll review the Five Fabulous Finds from that section for you to take away as daily affirmations, pick-me-ups, or sassy reminders to get you off of “What Might Have Been” Highway and back on the road to letting go and moving on.
So sit down with your computer, your iPhone, your iPad, or whatever other technological device you happen to be reading from and let’s have some good old-fashioned girl talk. Kick off your shoes, grab a glass of wine…and let’s turn the page and leave the past behind.
Shall we?

This is an excellent, realistic book
March 19, 2013
By B. Leur
Mandy Hale has really hit on some key points here. If you are struggling in a relationship I strongly encourage you to read both this and
How To Meet A Man Without Trying: Exceptional Dating Advice For Women as soon as possible. These two Kindle books are short and unusual, because they absolutely are full of REALISTIC advice to help improve your self-image and dating life, without sugarcoating anything.
A very difficult part in a relationship with a guy can be maintaining your sense of self-respect. This is what Hale really focuses on. If you struggle in this area you NEED to read this book. Some of her convincing key points:
*No matter how attractive a guy may seem, you have to date who he actually is. Romance cannot be idealism, but loving realism.
*Trusting your intuition is a key way to always maintain your self-respect and not be put in negatively emotional situations
*Saying “no” can sometimes be much more important than saying “yes”
*Your life should not revolve around a man, it should revolve around YOU. A good partner will appreciate this about you.
Overall, this is a great, great book. I can’t say enough good things about the thoughtful advice Mandy shares.
Couldn’t put it down!!!

I could’t stop reading this book from the moment I started..This book isn’t just amazing for single women, it’s applicable to ALL women and all types of relationships. From friendship lessons to love lessons, I found myself nodding at my screen and seeing myself in the picture that was drawn with words. This is a survival guide. I’m buying this for all my girlfriends-single, married, dating, everyone. What an empowering book!!! You go girl!

I’ve been following Mandy Hale and the Single Woman on Twitter and on her website for a while now. Mandy’s tweets have been very encouraging to me as I go through this part of my life as a single woman. So, when I heard that Mandy had written a book, I knew that I had to read it. I was not disappointed! I could not stop reading it – I read it one sitting! It is an easy read, but Mandy has really put her heart into this book and it is very helpful. If you feel that you need really need to let go of something to move forward in your life but find that hard to do, this book will encourage you and give you guidance in letting go. I was recently faced with the decision to let go of something (a relationship) that I wanted to work so badly, but deep down I knew it wasn’t working. I had been struggling with that decision, but this book opened my eyes to what I need to do. Her story sounds a lot like mine! Thanks, Mandy, for sharing your heart, lessons learned and insight!
The best!

This book is a must read! I have not been able to put it down. I am going through a divorce so this couldn’t be more perfect for me to read at this time. It makes you think and honestly I have found myself going back and rereading things so that I don’t forget them. Get this book! You won’t be sorry!
Nothing to write home about

I first got the sample of the book. I liked it, so for $3 I thought why not buy it. It was a quick read. At times I thought she was talking about my ex. Relatable. However, it did not go into depth. Things I have heard before. And besides the title being a bit corny, I thought the content was too at times. I am not one for rhymes! Overall the book was ok, I don’t think I wasted my money or time per se since it wasn’t much, but I didn’t get any gems of wisdom either.
BTW, I came across the book because of the high reviews. She strongly suggests several times in the book that if one likes the book to please give it a review, so that could be the reason.
Definitely the guide to welcome single life with open arms

I just went through a breakup, and had very mixed feelings about it, however when I read about this book I was totally hooked with the prologue and decided to follow her on twitter. I really like what I read and immediately could relate everything I was feeling with what she wrote. Bottom line: Let go, don’t hate. Live fully, and don’t let your love life status dictate your happiness.
Good Convo is like hot soup on a rainy day!

If you have a beautiful new or even classic designer bag would you place messy cosmetics or too many items in it that would bring that Birkin or LV to ruin? Of course not! Then why would you murk the sunshine of a brand new day with all of it’s infinite possibilities with an unrealized dream? This book highlights the everyday realities behind what it’s like to be single in the 2010s. It’s been a while since I read it. Mandy’s everyday tell-it-like it is mantra provides the sauce for the conversation. You’ll feel like your sitting in her condo having girl talk or better yet on the terrace laying it all out with libations. The sass comes from a so what attitude. I’m single/divorced/dreaming/ or fill in the blank, so what! In general Mandy exhorts us not to live in the past and not to carry it around like an overstuffed bag. Think about it.
