About this deal

I could picture the tiny squares and fragments of the story that I’ve watched unfold over the years. This time it was different, there was no image of false happiness for Madia to worry about up-keeping, her own emotions of fear, trauma, and triumph were front and center. if these 1-star reviews make you upset, visit r/madiasnark before you waste any more of your time, money, and energy on this vapid woman. Only she is brave enough to face the world and plaster those mistakes in public spaces where people have been incredibly cruel to her for being honest in this way. she has told this story over and over again about how dagwood is "the boy who lived" and that she wouldn't go back and change a thing.

A woman defined by motion, Brianna Madia bought a beat-up bright orange van, filled it with her two dogs Bucket and Dagwood, and headed into the canyons of Utah with her husband. Because for the hundred or so unhappy humans spending so much energy hating her, there are literally MILLIONS who enjoy her take on the world and seeing her life unfold. And, as critical as I am of her, what drew me to and kept me as a follower is only amplified in the memoir; Madia is an extremely gifted storyteller.Parts 1 and 2 felt like the quick stories you get when you’re a guest at someone’s house and they force you to sit through their family picture books with stories that really only hold water for them because they experienced it.

I believe for one’s own light to shine you don’t have to dull others’ and it really feels like Brianna Madia doesn’t know how to let both her light shine and others’ at the same time. In fact, at times it was downright boring, exhausting, lonely, and even desperate----when the van overheated and she was forced to pull over on a lonely stretch of Wyoming highway; when the weather was bitterly cold and the water jugs froze beneath her we she slept in the parking lot of her office; when she faced tough choices, hard truths, and inevitable regrets; when she worried about money, her marriage, and the looming question mark of her future. I cannot possibly say enough about her wit, wisdom, strength, courage, and ability to let us all into her one of a kind life. As I started reading I was immediately immersed in this grandeur, if not really reckless, journey with Brianna. Life is messy and no one is perfect, and Brianna isn't afraid to lean into that reality with the stories she tells here.Despite loudly proclaiming herself as a 'strong, capable, and independent' woman, Brianna has not done anything remotely outdoorsy as a single woman (unless you count drinking wine by the river).
