An honest, irreverent and inspiring guide to overcoming life’s unexpected challenges and finding joy, stability and humor in today’s chaotic world.
Long before their blockbuster podcast, I’ve Had It, Jennifer Welch and Angie “Pumps” Sullivan were simply two best friends, supporting each other through the ups and downs of life. Together they’ve celebrated family milestones and cheered on professional successes, but they’ve weathered the storms together too. When Jennifer’s husband battled alcoholism and drug addiction, she turned to Angie for support. When Angie’s own marriage began to crumble, she turned to Jennifer. And crucially, through it all they’ve kept one another laughing in stitches.
For the first time, Angie and Jennifer open up about the most personal moments that shaped their worldviews, sharpened their humor and inspired the “hopeful cynicism” that underpins their I’ve Had It podcast. Using their friendship as a roadmap, Jennifer and Angie share the wisdom that got them through life’s biggest challenges and the lessons they’ve absorbed along the way. From infidelity, addiction and sobriety to economic instability, struggles with self-worth and brushes with fame, they’ve seen it all, and they’re here to help guide readers on their own journeys, showing us how we too can center our lives around humor, hope and connection and let go of the rest.
