Book Review: Everything Is Figureoutable by Marie Forleo

Marie Forleo’s Everything Is Figureoutable is more than a catchy mantra - it’s a mindset shift. Rooted in the belief that no obstacle is insurmountable, this book challenges readers to retrain their thoughts, build resilience, and take radical ownership of their lives. For anyone navigating a transition—whether it’s personal, professional, or emotional—this book is an empowering companion.

Why It Resonates

At Fulcrum Wellness Coaching, we help clients move through uncertainty and change. Forleo’s framework aligns seamlessly with our coaching philosophy: progress over perfection, mindset over mechanics, and possibility over paralysis. Her tools - like reframing limiting beliefs, taking “progress, not perfection” action, and embracing failure as feedback—mirror the transformative conversations we facilitate every day.

“Everything is figureoutable” doesn’t mean everything is easy. It means everything is possible—with effort, creativity, and commitment.

Forleo blends real-life stories, neuroscience research, and personal anecdotes in a way that’s approachable and motivational. Her tone is confident but compassionate, pushing readers to challenge their excuses without shaming them for having them in the first place.

Coaching Takeaways

1. Thought Work Matters: Forleo emphasizes the importance of identifying and interrupting limiting beliefs. This mirrors one of our go-to tools: Identify → Interrupt → Intend.

2. Action Builds Clarity: Instead of waiting for confidence to show up, she encourages taking small, brave steps to build it.

3. You Don’t Need to Know It All: Just the next right step. For those stuck in overwhelm or perfectionism, this mindset is a game-changer.

Wellness Connection

This book touches nearly all of the dimensions of wellness - particularly emotional, occupational, intellectual, and spiritual wellness. Clients often come to coaching with a goal or desire that feels vague, overwhelming, or out of reach. Forleo helps demystify the process of change, making it feel not only possible, but exciting.
