Wild Abundance: How to Live an “I Get To...” Life: Stories of Choosing Abundance, Healing, and a Life You Love

What if the life you are living right now is not a list of obligations, but an invitation to abundance?

In Wild Abundance: How to Live an “I Get To...” Life, writer, coach, and strategist Brenda Ster gathers stories from eighteen women who decided they were done living on autopilot. Instead of “I have to,” they chose “I get to,” and everything changed.

Across three core areas of a woman’s life, Self, Family, and Impact, these women share real, unpolished moments of:

• illness, grief, and healing
• divorce, identity shifts, and starting over in midlife
• parenting, caregiving, and redefining “family first”
• creativity, entrepreneurship, and building a legacy that actually feels like you

Each chapter reads like a deeply honest conversation with a friend, followed by reflective journal prompts to help you explore your own “I get to” moments and possibilities. This is not a book about pretending everything is fine. It is about telling the truth about how hard life can be, while still choosing gratitude, courage, and wild abundance in the middle of it.

If you are a woman who has checked all the boxes yet still feels like something is missing, this book will help you:

• notice where “I have to” is running the show
• reclaim your energy, boundaries, and voice
• remember that it is never too late to rewrite your story

You get to choose how you live the rest of your life. Let these stories be your mirror, your permission slip, and your reminder that abundance is already within you, waiting to be claimed.
