Summary
Summary
No more hiding or people-pleasing up in here, sisters. No more being sidelined in your own life. It is time for us to be brave, to claim our gifts and quirks and emotions. You are set free and set up and set on fire.
NOW you can get busy doing what you were placed on this planet to do. NOW you can be honest, honest, honest about all of it, even the hard stuff, even the humiliating stuff, even the secret stuff. NOW you can walk in your convictions of faith and ask new questions unafraid. NOW you can be so free, because you are not searching for value from any source other than your own beautiful soul made piece by piece by God who adores you and is ready to get on with the business of unleashing you into this world.
In this book, I break it down into five self-reflective categories--who I am, what I need, what I want, what I believe, and how I connect--and by working your way through them, you will learn to
own your space, ground, and gifts (they are YOURS, sister); be strong in your relationships and lay down passive aggression, resentment, drama, and compliance; say GUILT-FREE what you want and what you need; and welcome spiritual curiosity and all the fantastic change that doing so creates.You with me, beloveds If we do this work on our own selves now, not only will we discover a life truly worth living, but we will free our daughters to rise up behind us, with spines straight, heads up, and coated in our strength.

Publisher's Weekly Review
Bestseller Hatmaker (Of Mess and Moxie) implores women to be unapologetically themselves in this delightfully syrupy work. With calls to action backed by both personal experiencee and analysis, Hatmaker welcomes all: "You deserve goodness. Full stop. Because you are a cherished human being created by a God who loves you." Writing for women, Hatmaker combines her calls for self-love with humorous stories (including her whimsical toast in a bathing suit at a lake wedding) and frank anecdotes, including lessons learned from marriage counseling. She encourages women to delve into their faith fully, allowing God to inspire change: "I cannot adequately explain the liberation in addressing your questions and owning your own convictions. I am free. No more hiding, no more back-room conversations with only safe people, no more fear. I'm on the other side of the hard part, and it was all worth it." Hatmaker places a strong emphasis on pursuing one's dreams and repeatedly reminds readers that they are a gift and that there is enough space for everyone and their ideas in the world. Her fans will adore these uplifting affirmations. (Apr.)
