Discover Life Beyond the Sunday Scaries
AVAILABLE NOW AT:
Sunday Scaries:
Temporary anxiety experienced by humans at the end of the weekend, triggered by the thought of the workweek ahead. See also: letting Monday ruin your Sunday. Side effects may include binge-cleaning the kitchen, anxiously refreshing the inbox, or questioning all life choices.
Every Sunday night, millions of people feel it: that creeping dread before the work week begins.
But for many, that feeling isn’t really about Monday.
It’s about loving a life that looks successful on the outside but feels misaligned on the inside.
In Scary Good: Discovering Life Beyond the Sunday Scaries, Angie Callen, coach, entrepreneur, and writer of the wildly popular weekly newsletter, Combatting the Sunday Scaries, invites you behind the scenes for an honest (and humorous) look at what happens when life doesn’t go as planned.
From tiny living in a school bus to speaking on global stages, Angie weaves real-life lessons with practical insights to explore what it means to build a life that feels as good on Monday as it does on Friday.
Inside, you’ll discover:
- How letting go opens the door to peace.
- Why every season — even the hard ones — serves a purpose.
- How being yourself beats the cost of trying to fit in.
- Why confidence is found in action, not in perfection. This isn’t a book about escaping work or skipping out on adulthood… mostly.
It’s about reimagining success, reclaiming your Sundays, and choosing to design the life you want, instead of defaulting to someone else’s user manual.
If you’ve ever caught yourself thinking, “Is this all there is?” or you find yourself craving more joy, confidence, and meaning — this book is for you.
Because at the end of the day, it’s not about the work.
It’s about the human doing it.
