LOUD: Silence Your Critics & Turn Up the Volume on Your Life
The Ultimate Playbook for Women Who Want More
LOUD is a candidly humorous look inside the life of a loud woman growing up in a world that is determined to keep her quiet.
Are you sick & tired of living your life on mute? Kelly Cochran gets it.
From fighting sexual harassment in the workplace to muffling her opinions in romantic relationships, Kelly spent years subconsciously ignoring her own inner counsel, with hilariously detrimental results. In this candidly humorous memoir, Kelly unveils an unfiltered look at her precarious dating life, battles with climbing the corporate ladder, and friendships won and lost.
LOUD: HOW TO SILENCE YOUR CRITICS & TURN UP THE VOLUME ON YOUR LIFE is an intimate look at the moments in life that ultimately define adulthood, womanhood, and self-confidence.
You need to read this book if:
You are trapped in a dead-end job or toxic relationship. You are struggling with depression because you have molded your life to look exactly how society expects, even though your soul is craving something completely different. Navigating the male-dominated bureaucracy of a corporate career has proven a difficult because of your female anatomy. You are sick and tired of being told to play nice, look pretty, be quiet and behave.
"Having survived a near-fatal car accident, a rare cancer, and a personal financial collapse, I have experienced first-hand what it takes to dig deep and find your own inner strength. Kelly Cochran's book empowers you to take ownership over your outcomes and experience your life at full volume. You deserve nothing less."- Hal Elrod, #1 bestselling author, The Miracle Morning and The Miracle Equation
"As someone who has spent her life focused on self-discovery work, I found LOUD to be hilariously enlightening and exactly what the world needs right now. This book is a must-read for any woman looking to get more out of life."- Julie Reisler, television host and author of Get a PhD in You
EARLY READER FEEDBACK:
"If you loved Girl Wash Your Face, you will love this book!"
"This book was a lightbulb for my personal life."
"If you are looking to get unstuck, leave a toxic relationship or crappy job, this book is a MUST READ."
"Bottom line: incredible. I have so many positive things I want to say, but I'll get carpal tunnel typing them all out."
"I read the first few chapters on a plane, and I flew through them! I took a screen shot of multiple things that resonated with me, especially when Kelly writes, 'Your fears are holding your loved ones back from realizing their full potential.' So powerful!"
"I definitely laughed out loud! Kelly's writing style was perfect for the tone and topic of the book, and I love the weaving in of little personal anecdotes and public figures."

As someone who has felt "LOUD" (literally & metaphorically) her whole life, I found this book to have a lot of relatable points. I enjoyed that this felt like a memoir with some guidance on living your loudest life. There were some good examples of women who paved their own way and reminders to trust your own gut. It was an easy read and I felt good when I finished it.

My Amazon review:
A no bullshit, straight up, relatable novel sharing with the world how and why YOU should be LOUD & PROUD!! From childhood to present day, it’s crazy how our inner voices of the people we’ve surrounded ourselves with physically and emotionally - past & present - stay with us and often cause us to silence our true voices. Those are the critics WE need to silence!! Kelly brings to the surface how these voices have affected each of our well beings and how to finally SILENCE THE DAMN CRITICS and instead allow OUR OWN VOICES to be heard LOUD AND CLEAR without ANY fear whatsoever. Loved every word of this book and bought so many copies to give as gifts for the holidays! Can’t wait to share this incredible book with the amazing women in my life!
