LIKE SHE OWNS THE PLACE

Cara Alwill Leyba

Give Yourself the Gift of Confidence and Ignite Your Inner Magic

In Like She Owns the Place, Cara Alwill Leyba offers real advice to help women become more confident, written in her chatty, older-sister voice, and full of revealing stories from every stage in her life.
Cara Alwill Leyba's riveting voice and kinship with her audience drove the self-published success of Girl Code, a book that encouraged women to support each other in the business community. Now her many fans are ready to take the next step: building sustainable confidence from the ground up.

Leyba has three simple but provocative arguments. First, confidence doesn't come from "winning;" it comes from ignoring the success narratives we absorb from magazines and movies. Second, the impressions people make on others depend on their personalities, not their looks. And third, the foundation of confidence comes from "audacious auditing," Leyba's term for identifying toxic people and habits and getting rid of them.

Written in Leyba's chatty, older-sister voice, and full of revealing stories from every stage of her life, LIKE SHE OWNS THE PLACE will help readers rewire their minds to be more confident. Take it from the woman who quit her job at MTV, dyed her hair pink, and made herself a bestselling author and coach: There's a path for everyone to become stronger and happier.

Cara Alwill Leyba is an author, speaker, and master life coach who encourages women to celebrate themselves and make their happiness a priority. Her popular blog has been featured in Glamour, Marie Claire, Shape, Cosmopolitan, and others. Her chic and stylish approach to self-help has attracted women all around the world to attend her workshops, read her books, tune into her podcast, and follow her on social media.
