PULL UP YOUR BIG GIRL PANTIES

A No Whining Way to Handle Hard Things and Come Out on Top

Mona Straub has survived a difficult childhood, two failed marriages, a business partnership that blew up in her face, a body the world told her to be ashamed of, and the brain cancer diagnosis that took the love of her life. She has walked onto stages weighing 447 pounds and commanded the room. She has walked on fire, twice.

She is not a therapist. She is not a guru. She is a woman who got knocked down more times than she can count, and got back up every time, and this book is everything she learned along the way.

Inside her book, Mona teaches you how to tell the difference between the moments you need to duck and the moments you need to swing. She shows you: 

  • How to set boundaries that hold

  • Why no is a complete sentence

  • How to stop carrying labels that were never yours to begin with 

She breaks down what real confidence looks like when nobody is clapping, how to turn failure into curriculum instead of a verdict, and what it actually takes to walk into the room she calls wearing your own red dress.

If some part of you has already whispered “enough, it is time”, Mona is holding the door open.

All you have to do is pull them up and walk through it.
