Courage to Be Imperfect: How to Release Yourself from Unrealistic Expectations and Start Enjoying Life - Hardcover

by Elizabeth Danks Robbins (Author)

Imagine a life where you're not afraid to make a mistake. A life where you don't link your worth to what you've achieved, you don't feel like you're drowning, and you never hear that voice in your head telling you you're not good enough.

No one gets more advice thrust upon them than women. Overwhelmed with information, opinions, and expectations, we are weighed down with guilt, exhaustion, and the belief that we aren't good enough . . . yet. So we keep trying to fix stuff--our bodies, our parenting, our homes. But fixing things isn't the answer. What we need is a paradigm shift, one where we stop trying to get our act together and start living boldly imperfect lives.

Sharing her own story of faltering under the crushing expectations of the world when she found herself pregnant at age sixteen, Elizabeth Danks Robbins turns the very idea of "perfect" on its head. Instead, she shows you how to stop fearing the opinions and criticism of others in favor of creating a life you actually enjoy. You'll learn to

- reframe your mindset
- embrace who you are now
- trade perfection for peace

Release yourself from the pressure to prove yourself to the world. Because, as it turns out, you're not a perfect woman. You're a real one.
