I found myself laughing, agreeing out loud and feeling like I just made a new friend! Penni Graham is as the title suggests, Tenacious! We all have life struggles, ups, downs, family drama that are out of our control… how you chose to deal with them, is very much in our control. True positivity, kindness, humor and willingness to lift up the people who surround you is a gift, and many lessons can be learned from someone who clearly possesses this ability. I felt truly uplifted after this read, and inspired to pass it on.
Every person has their struggles in life that can be correctly dealt with if the person realizes how to unleash their true champion. When I came over “Tenacious: Unique Strategies for Relentless Transformation with Behind the Scene Perspective from The Coach’s Wife”, I didn’t know what to expect, but when I started reading, I couldn’t put it down. Too many life lessons that if applied, can help someone develop a new positive change. I think of this book as a life-changing book to read, a book that shows and depicts how to achieve goals. I highly recommend it!
What a wonderfully positive and uplifting book! I wasn’t sure what to expect when I picked this up but I found myself connecting on so many levels it honestly surprised me. The author begins this journey by really letting you know about her and her family – she isn’t speaking at you, she is speaking TO you. This sets the stage on a personal level to open up and receive everything this book has to offer.Chapter by chapter I found myself engaged and nodding ‘yes’ many, many times. You can feel the author has a lot of experience, love and knowledge to share. I don’t know how I would relay this message if it were me, but she has completely hit the target.The format and layout is absolutely beautiful, a lot of thought and care went into this book. No detail was left behind. This book is truly a journey with impactful writing, pictures and diagrams.Change your outlook, change your life. Get this book!

Penni has done an amazing work in assimilating her experience through her marriage and bringing it to life through publishing.This book has come to me in such a right time that I can only attribute it to luck. I have suffering from PCOD from along time and have been demotivated to start yoga. It has started to take a toll on my mental health severely. But this book gives me renewed hope and strength to fight. So significant and life changing.
This taught me how to handle so many issues and all of the adversity of my life. I have now uprooted my family to 5 different cities to be closer to other family members, and this was THE guide to help me navigate it. And boy I was able to make each move with SPEED SPEED SPEED! Each job I’ve had to quit? You guessed it, just like the book says I’ve notified each employer of my resignation via text message. When those employers would come to my house beginning me to stay, I’d tell them to get off of my porch just as Penni says to do. I strive every day to be more like the Graham family. Todd even inspires my style, I have my haircut just like him and the gym teacher on Beavis & Butthead.
Tenacious is a refreshing look at how to hold a winning game plan through the fumbles and dirty tackles of life. The wife of a respected football coach, Penni Graham is a formidable life coach herself. The humor and grace throughout surrounds and supports nuggets of truth for being authentically you in a world that pushes for conformity. I thoroughly enjoyed every page – and as a football fan, the uplifting insider stories sprinkled throughout were an added treat. A well-earned five star review for this debut of a writer I know will have many more stories to tell in her future!
