Put Your Big Girl Panties On and Deal With It

- Categorized in: Book Review

Put Your Big Girl Panties On and Deal With It (Sourcebooks) is like having a conversation with a girlfriend who's been on the road and learned a thing or two, and returned with great tales to tell. Author Roz Van Meter is a life coach, counselor, and storyteller who writes like she talks.
Big Girl/Little Girl are metaphors for head and heart, sense and sensibility, rationality and emotion. Put Your Big Girl Panties On and Deal With It has big dollops of both. There are plenty of other books that say "you're a complex/you're a syndrome/how'd you get so messed up?" Now women have something else: a friendly how-to guide that
respects their strengths and shows them how to use good judgment (Big Girl) and still enjoy fun and pleasure while protecting their vulnerability (Little Girl).
Each is wonderful and necessary, but having the wrong one in the driver's seat under certain circumstances can be a recipe for disaster. Roz says, "If you let the Little Girl behind the wheel when you're on the hairpin curves of life, she will drive you right off the cliff! The Big Girl is the one who can handle it, and should, and does."
One source says: "With this insightful, touching, and often hilarious guide, Roz takes you from Training Pants straight through to Big Girl Panties. Rife with deeply personal, perhaps slightly embarassing and often hysterical stories from the author herself, Put Your Big Girl Panties On and Deal With It is the perfect guidebook for women who want to be in the driver's seat of their lives."
