Life is Lifey
A Brutally Honest (and Hilarious) Guide to Living the Unscripted Life
By Sarah Shahi
In Life is Lifey, actress and unapologetic truth-teller Sarah Shahi cannonballs into the deep end of life’s messy middle: marriage, divorce, kids, career pivots, identity crises, and questionable fashion choices. With humor, grit, and the occasional F-bomb, she invites you to ditch perfection and embrace the beautiful chaos of becoming *you*.
Why This Book Matters
Because you don’t need more advice. You need a truth serum.
*Life is Lifey* offers an authentic guide to navigating the chaos of adulthood. This book doesn’t pretend that life is perfectly neat. In fact, Sarah knows first-hand how messy life can be and gives you all the tools to live it. She reminds you that saying “no” is powerful, failure is a teacher, and joy is a priority. It’s for anyone ready to laugh at the hard stuff, get real about what’s holding them back, and reclaim their power—one hilariously insightful chapter at a time.
This isn’t about curating your best life. It’s about burning the script, trusting your gut, and learning to laugh through the wild ride. If you’ve ever felt like the only one googling “how to start over with peanut butter in your hair,” this book is your permission slip to *do life your way*.
When Sarah’s personal life started to mirror her role in Sex/Life, women flooded her DMs with questions:
“How did you find the courage to leave?”
“What if I’m unhappy, but scared to start over?”
“How do I keep going when I’m falling apart?”
This book is her answer. Raw. Real. Relatable. It's the stuff women whisper about after two glasses of wine—but louder, prouder, and in print.
