“Jen is my hero, because she’s not afraid to tell the messy truth about entrepreneurship, business, love, and mental health and how it’s okay to not always be okay. I loved this book as much as I love sequins, confetti, and pizza.”

Emma Straub, New York Times bestselling author


New York Times bestseller

An entertaining, humorous, and inspirational memoir—think #GirlBoss meets Furiously Happy—about harnessing your creativity and embracing your flaws to reach your goals.

With humor and heart, Ban.do founder Jen Gotch shares the empowering story of her unlikely journey to becoming the creator and CCO of a multimillion-dollar brand. From her childhood in Florida where her early struggles with bipolar disorder were misdiagnosed, to her winding career path as a waitress, photographer, food stylist, and finally, entrepreneur with no business experience, she illuminates how embracing her flaws and understanding the influence of mental illness on her creativity actually led to her greatest successes in business and life.

Hilarious, charming, and filled with fascinating insights from her hard-won experience as a true creative and a visionary businesswoman, Gotch’s inspirational memoir dares readers to live each day with hope, optimism, kindness, and humor.
