About this audiobook
Women and girls everywhere are being played, hungrily chasing after a brand of broken beauty that leaves us disconnected, damaged, and so desperate for acceptance that we fuel our own exploitation with our shame and money.
In the midst of battling an eating disorder, Melissa Johnson, a marriage and family therapist, was given new eyes to see the widespread fallout of this ultimate deceit. With piercing insight and tender encouragement, Melissa helps women capture hope and freedom as she shows that true beauty is not impossible—it abounds all around us. In this book, she helps you expose the cultural lies you believe about beauty; uncover the hidden damage of these messages on your mind and soul; rediscover your true beauty; reconnect with the God in whose image you are made; walk away from shame and striving; and love yourself—and others—unconditionally.
True beauty is the fullness of life we are longing for; it's the reality that blows our minds, affirms our true worth, and invites us into an adventure that meets our deepest longings. And it's true beauty that will save us if we open our eyes to it.
