I understand the time, heart, dedication, and courage it takes to write a book and put yourself out there, especially as a Christian writer. I applaud her courage, love, and effort she put into writing this, to help those she may never meet. I hope that in her efforts, the message finds itself into the hands that God intended to.

I quite enjoyed her writing style, her voice is transparent and authentic, and her message true. While I wish this book had found its way to the broken me of 15 years ago, much of it was still what broken me needed to hear today. I can't say that I can explain why, but I hope that she knows she's making a difference. Keep following the path.

Flip the Script: Make Your Move from Broken to Brilliant is a fresh take on breaking free from the “negative scripts” that plague the minds of many women, both young and old, in today’s society. Author Brittany Estes presents several areas that women battle with, including failure, comparison, worthiness, loneliness and shame. Her presentation includes examples from her own life.. After exposing each issue Ms. Estes gives the reader practical steps to “flip the script” on negative thought processes. This book is written from a Christian worldview and the tools presented are based on God’s word, helping the reader see herself as God sees her. The most helpful part of the book are the side by side comparisons of a negative thought pattern next to scripture based words that present a new way of thinking.

This book meets the needs of all types of women. The new scripts are good for personal application, but can also be used to build others up. A great book to share with young adult women, giving them a strong foundation as they move out into the adult world.

Review entered after reading an ARC on Net Galley.

How many of us walk around with an internal dialogue that’s self-destructive? One that habitually lies to us about our true worth? I think many of us struggle with this at some point in our lives; I know I have. If you’ve struggled with this too, Brittany Estes’ new book ‘Flip the Script’ is for you! Brittany invites us into a life of freedom by speaking truth over negative scripts we’ve believed for far too long. She vulnerably shares her own life in a relatable way to remind us of God’s immeasurable love and grace for all of us. We can replace harmful scripts with the truth of God’s word and be free! Little steps get us there! Highly recommend!

Friends this book as been like a balm for my soul, I have felt encouraged, challenged and honestly so much relief as I lay down the negative scripts that I have held in my heart and mind for so many years and in turn replace them with God’s truth. @jbrittanyestes is an incredible woman of God whose mission is to see women flip the script in their lives. While reading her book I laughed so hard I almost peeped my pants, I cried and there were moments that God used Britney’s words to speak deep into my heart and make way for restoration and healing. Reading her book helped me bring to light and identify the sticky negative thoughts like “there is no room for me” or “I am a bad mom” that have rooted themselves in my mind. Being aware of these sticky thoughts allows me to bring them into the light of the gospel and replace them with the truth from the Word of God. I am so grateful for @jbrittanyestes obedience in writing this book and directing us to God as she encourages us to #flipthescript

Brittany has done such an amazing job showing us how to flip our negative scripts using the power of the Word of God. There are so many verses in the Bible that can be used to help us get rid of those negative scripts in our minds that tend to creep up in our daily life almost in every aspect. She is such a witness for the Lord and helps women of all ages those of us in our 20s, 30's, 40's and beyond. For years she has had such a grace about her and wants to help women of every walk of life to live abundantly. We can only do that with the Lord by our side. Whenever a negative thought comes in our mind there is a relatable verse that goes with it. Hearing about all the personal stories of her and other friends are absolutely amazing. Do not hesitate to order this book and get additional copies for your family and friends. Everyone needs it!

This is an amazing book that walks you through challenges and feelings we all have about ourselves whether our feelings are from within ourselves are embedded in us by others. She reminds us that we all make mistakes in life and that these life lessons do not make us failures or that we worthless or shameful. Instead, we need to remember our faith and trust in God, and to remember he is the one who created us to be strong and how we need flip the script of and start thinking differently about our struggles and the inner feelings we have about ourselves….flipping the script and remembering who we truly are in the eyes of God.

This book contains examples and Bible verses to help a person change the negative thoughts in their mind. It is designed to empower readers to overcome and live the life that God intended for them. This book would be especially good for young women who are facing numerous pressures and would benefit from Brittany's teaching.

I receive complimentary books for various sources including, Netgalley, Authors, and other such sources. I am not required to write a positive review and have not received compensation.

[Kelly Pramberger · Rating 5 out of 5]

This book is exactly what I needed to read. I started reading and had to finish to get all the goodness that Brittany provides. The scripts that she flips often run through my mind and I found it so empowering to read her suggestions of what to replace the negative with. If you like examples of exactly how to change your thoughts this book will help!

Five stars from me! Thanks to NetGalley for the ARC for the purpose of this review.

This book is sure to speak to your mid twenties young woman!! So many negatives in our society today that we can make ourselves believe. This book is full of reminders of positives that we need to feed ourselves on a daily basis. Each chapter speaks to the inner critic that each of us carries in the back of our minds!!
Order a copy or 10 for those young people that need a little nudge of positive encouragement

[Heather Carlisle · Rating 5 out of 5]

This book is amazing!! It's like heart surgery without the pain! The author uses humor and extreme vulnerability to help you let your guard down, just in time for truth to come in and cut away what doesn't belong. She makes you realize you aren't alone in your crazy thoughts and gives you real practical tools to help. I laughed out loud and cried through so many pages. If you're tired of living in negative spiraling thoughts, this book is for you!!

[Anna Liberatore · Rating 5 out of 5]

Emotional, humorous, beautifully written masterpiece! I think anyone can relate to the stories and lessons learned in this page turning book! The author is humble yet powerful in her approach to integrate learning opportunities with conviction and a big splash of colorful personality in her heart warming style of writing. You will feel like she’s your bestie when you read it. Couldn’t put it down! A must read.

[Natalija Elijas · Rating 5 out of 5]

I thoroughly enjoyed reading Flip the Script by Brittany Estes. The tone of the book was very friendly, included many personal experiences, admitted personal mistakes and invited the reader in her life. But she also gave lots of Scripture and advice how to flip the negative thoughts that bombard us from outside or inside and turn them with the help of God's Word. It is written in a easy to read style and is very fresh and personal. Even though I am an older woman, I could glean words of wisdom.

[Aubrey White · Rating 5 out of 5]

I couldn’t put this book down. Brittany is hilarious and her humor and experience coaching women has created a self help book that is enjoyable to read. She gets right down to the negative messages we tell ourselves and points us back to God for strength. She reminds us we are on a journey of self love and self growth and it’s never too late to turn to the path God made for us. Will be recommending to all the women in my life.

[Andrea Suydam · Rating 5 out of 5]

This book speaks directly to my soul. There is negative self-talk that cripples our ability to live and be all that God has called us to be. Brittany encourages us to remember what God says about us. We are who He says we are. She is open and honest about her own struggles. She encourages us to be brave and bold and to live life to the fullest.

[Ashlyn Owens · Rating 5 out of 5]

A lot of times I feel stuck in a negative mindset. That no matter how hard I try I’ll never be able to live different. But this book was a great reminder that It is never too late to flip our scripts. I enjoyed everything about this book. I love the way the chapters are laid out with an old script followed by a new script. Definitely recommend.

[Michelle Schwab · Rating 5 out of 5]

This book is excellent. So many scriptures and example on how it applies are amazing. Anyone can flip their script.

[Mel · Rating 5 out of 5]

Brittany Estes takes us on a journey to flip the negative scripts in our lives. Ms. Estes writes about the many areas in which these negative scripts impacts us such as thinking of ourselves as a failure, unworthy, loneliness, and shame to name a few. In each chapter, Ms. Estes speaks from a knowing and compassionate voice. Ms. Estes uses experiences from her own life and Scriptures to illustrate that God doesn't want us to be enslaved to these negative scripts in our minds. Ms. Estes even illustrates examples of old scripts and new scripts in each chapter, which is very helpful.


One of the notations I made from this book is the section where Ms. Estes writes about how when we seek God we will understand how we shine. I found a lot of truth in those words; Scripture tells us how much God loves us and He is always guiding us through His Word for good purposes.


I would recommend this book for every woman of any age who needs encouragement through her own negative scripts. Negative scripts impact us all in so many different areas of our lives and this book serves as a great reminder that God wants us to live a life free in Him.



Happy Reading!

When you write a book you are supposed to pick a group of people that you are writing for. Brittany has felt like her market is younger than me (I’m 49) but as someone who is in the 3rd tier of who the book is supposed to be for, I can tell you my age group needs this message just as much as the younger generations.

Just because we are older does not mean the scripts in our minds all flow with truth. In fact, this midlife season is when we question so many things about our journey! Brittany’s words remind us of who we are.

This is what I can tell you about this book. You will feel seen, you will cry, you will laugh and you will be reminded that YOU are never beyond repair. You can go from broken to brilliant.

Friends, buy this book. In fact, go ahead and buy several to share. All of us need this.
