Summary

DATE SMARTER, MAKE BETTER DECISIONS IN LOVE, AND ACHIEVE THE RELATIONSHIP YOU DESERVE… IT ALL STARTS WITH NOT SETTLING!

By day, Faith Jenkins is the host of the nationally syndicated TV show Divorce Court; by night, she’s a happily married newlywed who navigated these dating streets for years before learning how to attract the love of her dreams。   When she turned 35 without a wedding ring in sight, like most women, she started getting tons of questions about not being married。 But she made a decision: I。 Will。 Not。 Settle。  
 
As an attorney and arbitrator, Faith has presided over hundreds of cases, and has helped couples avoid and resolve a wealth of drama。 And she’s seen it all! In Sis, Don’t Settle, she’s gathered an arsenal of love, wisdom and advice for women on how to play it smart。
 
Modern culture would have women believe they can’t have it all—and be smart, successful, strong women with authentic love to boot。 Wrong。  Told in her signature style—sometimes salty and sometimes sweet—Faith provides real solutions that will teach you how to thrive in relationships while avoiding common missteps and pitfalls。 She delivers it straight, with no chaser, to show us how to level up, and reminds you that how you live single will set the tone for your success in relationships。

Smart, illuminating, and, often laugh-out-loud funny, Sis, Don’t Settle is the essential playbook that will help you build your confidence, generate better results in love, and land a high-value relationship once and for all。 You’ll find tips on topics like:
 
Strong Independent Women…and the Men Who Love Them
What’s Worse than a Bad Relationship? Overextending Your Stay in One
Becoming the Right Person to Attract the Right Person  
How to Release Trash Subconscious Beliefs that Keep You Settling
And much more!
 
Whether you’re single, divorced, or in a situationship, Sis, Don’t Settle reveals the direction and guidance you need to navigate love and take back your power。

Eye Opening and Reassuring I really enjoyed this book。 I was hesitant to read it because I am currently dealing with the end of my marriage。 And many of the feelings and mj dsets Faith addresses I am currently facing。 But this book helped me to look at things differently and be hopeful。 Hopeful, for a better future and being the best person so I can attract people in my life that add to it。 I am far from being ready for another relationship but when I do decide to I know I won’t bring the baggag Eye Opening and Reassuring I really enjoyed this book。 I was hesitant to read it because I am currently dealing with the end of my marriage。 And many of the feelings and mj dsets Faith addresses I am currently facing。 But this book helped me to look at things differently and be hopeful。 Hopeful, for a better future and being the best person so I can attract people in my life that add to it。 I am far from being ready for another relationship but when I do decide to I know I won’t bring the baggage from my past relationships with me。 I also loved all the “Mama-isms” I needed to hear。 I loved the analogies and many made me laugh and share with my sister。 Thank you Faith for writing this book!

I like how she ties in her relationships with what she's talking about。 I agree that we are not on anyone's timetable。 Life maps。 love life every moment you can (p 20)。 I like a lot of her lingo: Mind your Business Ministries。 She speaks on that marriage isn't for everyone, even gives the successful women who choose not to marry like Oprah and Shonda Rhimes (didn't know about her)。She shares her relationships, and others she had to work with as a Judge (divorce court), then mentions Marshawn Eva I like how she ties in her relationships with what she's talking about。 I agree that we are not on anyone's timetable。 Life maps。 love life every moment you can (p 20)。 I like a lot of her lingo: Mind your Business Ministries。 She speaks on that marriage isn't for everyone, even gives the successful women who choose not to marry like Oprah and Shonda Rhimes (didn't know about her)。She shares her relationships, and others she had to work with as a Judge (divorce court), then mentions Marshawn Evans (now Daniels) in her book entitled Believe Bigger。 I read this a few months ago; however, I do recall the first man she was to marry was still dealing with his ex-wife, who told her days before her own marriage/wedding。 She broke it off and later got blessed with the man of her dreams。 Yet in the book I read, I do not recall this happening, but Faith tells it and how she had triplets。 I had to look on Google to see such a beautiful thing coming to fruition or pass for Marshawn。 This is great!Past or Peace, this is the truth。 People hold on their past relationships, unable to let go, and forgive, and get that peace that surpass all understanding! Tell it Faith! Reclaim your power。 。。。more

I needed this book in 2015 and every year after。 LOL! I enjoyed how real she was in the book, taking examples from her own life。 I could relate to a lot of them。 Every girl needs to read this as they begin the world of dating。 Sis, we aren't settling!!

This is a single woman’s dating handbook!She was transparent and relatable。 I loved the writing prompts and reflections statements that were incorporated throughout the book。 I flagged a few pages so I could return。 This book made me love her even more。 I would definitely read this book again or reference it。 We are not settling in 2022。

Being a first daughter this book gave me the advice only an elder sister can give。 I started crying towards the end of the book not because it had a sad end but I was overwhelmed by all the gems Judge Faith had dropped。 As a little girl I told myself I didn't care when I got married, all I knew was that I'll say I do once。 I don't care how long it'll take me to find the man with whom I'd build my ideal life with。 I also knew I wanted to win career-wise。 I know I'll get all I desire, all I need t Being a first daughter this book gave me the advice only an elder sister can give。 I started crying towards the end of the book not because it had a sad end but I was overwhelmed by all the gems Judge Faith had dropped。 As a little girl I told myself I didn't care when I got married, all I knew was that I'll say I do once。 I don't care how long it'll take me to find the man with whom I'd build my ideal life with。 I also knew I wanted to win career-wise。 I know I'll get all I desire, all I need to do is be patient and grow into the woman I wish to become。 All in all, it is a book I see myself reading every year and if I have a daughter, I'd gift her a copy on her 18th birthday。 I'm indeed blessed to have read this at 23, she addressed so many issues I struggle with but couldn't speak about。 If you're still contemplating whether to read this book or not, please read it。 。。。more

I’m giving this book 5 stars because it’s a great book if you are single or divorced like I am, and you’ve been dating unsuccessfully for a while。 It really gives you a boost on getting back out there and changing your approach and the way you do things。 I listen to the audio version on Audible, and being a southern girl from Alabama I loved her voice, her southern Louisiana twang was comforting。 I felt as if I was listening to one of my best girlfriends give dating advice。 After reading her dat I’m giving this book 5 stars because it’s a great book if you are single or divorced like I am, and you’ve been dating unsuccessfully for a while。 It really gives you a boost on getting back out there and changing your approach and the way you do things。 I listen to the audio version on Audible, and being a southern girl from Alabama I loved her voice, her southern Louisiana twang was comforting。 I felt as if I was listening to one of my best girlfriends give dating advice。 After reading her dating experiences, and seeing that such a beautiful and accomplished woman was also having difficulties dating, I no longer feel like I’m out here alone。 。。。more
