The beloved star of Sister, Sister and former co-host of The Real sheds her “good girl” image and inspires women to do the same in this powerful memoir.

A lighthearted and supremely entertaining memoir, You Should Sit Down for This is like spending the afternoon sharing tea, fresh baked cookies, and conversation with Tamera Mowry-Housley, the fun-loving, wisdom-sharing girlfriend we all need in our lives (always ready to top off your wine!). Most of us know Tamera Mowry-Housley as a beloved TV star—one‑half of the memorable duo on the hit show Sister, Sister and co-host of the FOX talk show The Real. Tamera’s spunky Sister, Sister character stole the hearts of millions, but the transition in the public eye from teen-girl star to grown woman with a family and thriving career wasn’t easy. Being raised in Hawaii as an army brat instilled in her the discipline needed to succeed and conquer her dreams, but she felt secluded and sheltered, and wondered if living on her own terms would ever be her reality. Then, she decided it would. Vowing to live true to herself, Tamera stopped letting other people define her, tapped into her faith, and tossed away negativity to hone her own happiness and create a unique path forward for herself. In this pink book of quirky advice and storytelling, she encourages everyone to do the same. A celebration of love, cookies, and the juicy parts of life, she’ll leave you feeling liberated and motivated to embrace the highs and lows of growing.

In You Should Sit Down for This, Tamera shares heartfelt stories about exiling herself from the world of beauty pageants, the pressures of being a teenage star, her struggle with rejection, the craziness of dating later in life, the challenges of balancing family and career, and why it’s okay for women to hide out in their closets when they just need a few minutes of peace. Tamera doesn’t shy away from the tough experiences, hilarious missteps, and big lessons it took to build a thriving career and the full life she’s living today. Our favorite girl next door offers “Tameraisms,”—bite-sized pieces of wisdom to empower other women to step up to life’s unexpected turns and surprises and make it all work. You Should Sit Down for This is a much-needed reminder of the magic that can happen when we open our minds and hearts to become the very best versions of ourselves.

Tamera has always come across as someone who is super down to earth, humble and welcoming. You get the exact same feel with her memoir. It's nice to see someone stay true to themselves and not get sucked up in the world of celebrity. It genuinely felt like she was talking to a friend so I'm really happy I chose the audio book.

It's like hanging out with a good friend

It was ok but expected a deeper dive into her life, the stuff we don’t know. For a memoir I felt like it was too short.

Love her but book was ok

I sat and binged the whole book beginning to end this Saturday. I actually felt like I was visiting Tamera one afternoon at her home. With me being a new acquaintance and her filing me in on every aspect of her life. Much Blessings to her and her family.
this was a wonderful read.

I have always been a fan of Tamera’s so when I heard she was writing a book, I knew I had to read it! My job keeps me on the road a lot, so I was excited to see that it was available on Audible! I would highly recommend listening to it as you read. I truly felt like I was invited into her home and her voice captures the essence of the stories! Tamera shares openly and honestly about her journey as an actress, mother, wife, and Christian woman. I left feeling so inspired, and empowered to embrace the life that I’m living right now. 10 out of 10 recommended!! Thank you for being true to yourself and reminding us to do the same. Great job Tamera 👍🏾

Warm, insightful, and inspiring read!
