At long, long last, my first book – Chasing Cupcakes – is finally available! You can purchase it here!
It would have been easy to write a book about nutrition, hormones or fat loss, but that’s not the book I wanted to write. I wanted to write a book that hadn’t already been written. There are hundreds, if not thousands, of amazing books about nutrition, hormones and fat loss. Besides, that wasn’t the book I needed when I was deep in my own personal struggle with obesity, binge eating, excuses, exceptions, doubt, delay and debt.
In the thick of my decades-long struggle, I knew exactly what to do. I could have talked for hours, if not days, about all the changes I could make to lose weight, get healthy, pay off my debt and everything in between. I didn’t need more information.
For me, the problem was that I wasn’t doing all the things I knew to do. I knew how to lose weight, in theory, but what I didn’t know was how to get myself to do the work. I didn’t know how to end the excuses and exceptions. I knew how to get out of debt – I had thousands of strategies and action-plans. What I didn’t know was how to consistently get myself to do the work.
That’s the book I needed. So, that’s the book I wrote.
Today, I’m excited to share with you the story behind Chasing Cupcakes and to answer all your questions about the book and the writing process! I have been waiting for this moment for so long and I hope you love the book as much as I do!

In October 2019, our relationship with Thrive Market changed. They decided to put their marketing dollars in avenues outside of podcasting but we still think they’re a good choice if you’re looking to save money on health & personal care products.
Check!! I ordered your book ! I cant wait , it will be the best book ever for sure
Thank you so much!!! Be sure to let me know what you think!!
I am so thrilled for you, Elizabeth! I absolutely love the book cover. But I just went on Audible and did a search for your book but it did not come up.
Thanks Moira! You’re presently correct about Audible. They release it when they release it – but it’s all ready and pending their release. My publisher tells me it could be any minute or a few days. For better or worse, there are just a lot of pieces we can’t control. As of my typing of this comment, the paperback and kindle are live.
Glad I looked here, I was looking on Audible and getting frustrated, lol. I hope they get it soon, I’ve got my finger on the trigger over here!! Can’t wait to hear this book, love all that you do Elizabeth. Thank you for being you!!
Aw, please don’t get frustrated! 🙂 They already have it, friend, we’re just waiting on them to release it. Patience is a great practice, at least for me!!! 🙂 I promise to let everyone know when it’s on Audible.
I am so excited for you book too! Okay so I see it on Amazon and Kindle. You mentioned it is on Audible but I couldn’t find it there yet. Maybe just takes a bit like you said for the hard cover. Congrats on your first book !!!

Ordered! I started reading it with the preview on Amazon and I can truly relate to your story. Can not wait to get it!!
Thank you so much!!!
I’m SUPER pumped about this book and am so proud of you for all your hard work. PP is the best podcast and has filled my mind with goodness and helped me to form new habits. Thank you so much for your high quality content and for putting out a book that I just KNOW will be the same. I will promote it everywhere as I already do with your awesome podcast. Excited you may be in Portland promoting it in November. WOO HOO! I think I really want to get the recorded book because I just love hearing your words in your voice. The best to you Elizabeth. Sit and soak up what you accomplished. It’s my dream, too!
Thank you so much, Tia! Your support means the world to me! I’ll DEFINITELY be in Portland in November! No “maybe” about it! ASCEND 2019! Veterans Day Weekend – Portland, OR! I can’t wait to hear what you think of the book!
This might be a dumb question but if i order the audible book how do i get the questions you were referring to?
I have never bought audiobooks so not sure what you get.
Thanks
Cheri
Not a dumb question at all! I read the questions on the audio book and I also share a link where you can go to download them. 🙂
Where do you go in the Audible to find the questions?
Hi! You purchase the book via audible and when you’re listening, the URL is given right before that section of the book.
