Ina Garten – aka the Barefoot Contessa – is the author of “Be Ready When The Luck Happens: A Memoir” (along with 13 New York Times bestselling cookbooks), a beloved Food Network personality, Instagram sensation, and cultural icon. This was a slightly different book club pick for us, and we loved it! Ina’s memoir not only has an incredible, eye-catching title, but it’s full of life lessons and business advice about productivity, hard work, and love hidden in many charming anecdotes and stories.

For this book club chat, we dove into:

- her unique career path and willingness to start something new (at any age)

- having the right partner(s) to believe in and support you

- the importance of trying many things to figure out what feels right

- our favorite life and career lessons from Ina’s journey

- and so much more!

As Ina says, “You never know your good breaks from your bad ones.”
