About this listen

One of VOGUE's 6 Female Writers to Read in 2018

It's not always easy to find self-worth in a world that seems obsessed with telling us we're not good enough. Empowering, intimate and full of heart, this highly anticipated debut audiobook from the online sensation 'The Slumflower', aka Chidera Eggerue, the unstoppable force behind the groundbreaking movement #SAGGYBOOBSMATTER, is essential listening for all young women. It's time to take charge of your life.

In What a Time to Be Alone, The Slumflower will be your life guru, confidante and best friend. She'll show you that being alone is not just okay: it's just about the best freaking thing that's ever happened to you. As she says, 'You're bad as hell and you were made with intention.' It's about time you realised. Peppered with insightful Igbo proverbs from Chidera's Nigerian mother and narrated by the author, this audiobook will help you to navigate the modern world. We can all decide our own fates, and Chidera shows us how, using a three-part approach filled with sass, wisdom and charm.

Learn how to celebrate you - decide your self-worth, take time to heal and empower yourself in this messy world.

Don't worry about them - avoid other people's demons and realize that everyone is protecting themselves from something - no matter how aggressive their method.

Feel the togetherness in US - sustain and grow healthy relationships and avoid toxicity in your friendships.

Own your story. Create your own narrative. Listen to this audiobook. #WATTBA

Honestly I was expecting to hear something new and mind blowing but it wasn't intense at all. It made me hold myself accountable in the most gentle way possible. Now, I feel more secure about recent decisions I've made in an effort to live a happy life. Thank you so much for this.

I feel so valid!!

I feel as though there’s nothing to be said other than read and be enlightened. If you struggle with people pleasing, indecisiveness, a savior complex, unhealthy relationship, unfulfilling relationships, abusive relationship, etc.... read!

Chidera is full of vast, honest, life changing wisdom. This book finally gave me the strength to get out of a toxic relationship and finally start choosing myself first.

The most healing book for women. I can't say how much I enjoy this book - listened multiple times. Eggerue truly does become your best friend as she reminds you of all the reasons to love yourself and want the best for yourself - as well as dealing with people who don't get it. Filled with compassion and quotes that hit you with intense clarity - that's the power of Eggerue's writing and her soothing voice. highly recommend! a book that sticks with you for years! I saw a huge improvement in my life afterwards

I have owned this book in print since it was released and finally got the audio a little bit ago and I'm so glad I did! her voice is wonderful and it is really great hearing the pronunciation for the "nuggets of wisdom" (can't think of the right word right now 😬) her mother has given her. How gracious of her to share those with us! 5 stars seems like a weak review but it's all I can give. it changed my life and saved my from a terrible relationship I was drowning in. ALSO she's been disrespected and basically copied by her publishers for this book, so find her and buy directly from her/where she says to! make sure black women get paid and recognized for their work.

you should buy this yesterday.

every time I got something out of it. To me the author/reader’s tone is just enough self compassion just enough Tea. I am learning to set boundaries, but my friend who is “skilled” at this heard it with me the second time and also found it to be relevant and helpful.

Heard it twice, loved it twice and

There were some great quotes in this. The speakers voice kept me engaged. If you struggle with making excuses for others, this will be helpful.

Timely read
