Praise for FLAUNT!
“FLAUNT! is a reassuring reminder to us gals that we are not alone in this crazy journey to become fulfilled and self-actualized. If you are searching for insight, wisdom, logic, intuition, emotion, and humor, read this book. Get out your highlighting pen — you’ll need it!”
— Lannie Garrett, singer/entertainer and Colorado Music Hall of Fame inductee
“In order for each of us to fully express our gifts in the world, we must combine the masculine and feminine parts in ourselves — the drive, on the one hand, and what Lora Cheadle calls the ‘sparkle,’ on the other. Whatever you desire to create in your life, Lora’s combination of practical insight and contagious enthusiasm will help you get there.”
— Kelly Notaras, author of The Book You Were Born to Write
“FLAUNT! is a fabulously important book for all women! Too many wonderful women underestimate themselves and need more self-esteem. Lora Cheadle has hit it out of the ballpark with her glorious book!”
— Stephanie Blake, actor, two-time Miss Exotic World Pageant winner, and burlesque legend
“Sage and refreshingly honest, Lora Cheadle’s FLAUNT! provides a playful path for women to unapologetically integrate all of themselves to live and work with more passion, creativity, and freedom. Whether you’ve defined your self-worth by what you’ve achieved, you’ve squashed your own dreams in order to support someone else’s, or you want to shed self-judgment and rewire your brand (and your body!) to choreograph a different kind of life for yourself, you’re going to love this book!”
— Alexia Vernon, author of Step into Your Moxie
“Reveals tips on how burlesque will empower women’s lives.”
— Leslie Zemeckis, actress, author, and award-winning documentarian
“Written like you’re talking with your best, wisest, and funniest girlfriend, FLAUNT! is a must-read for all women (and men) who need new tools and a path forward to be their best and happiest selves.”
— Kathleen Nalty, founder of the Center for Legal Inclusiveness
