Never Enough: Separating Self-Worth from Approval
YOU DESERVE TO BE YOU—EVEN IF OTHERS DISAGREE
Do you dream of feeling confident in your own skin? Of no longer worrying what people think of you and whether they will approve? Instead, can your day turn on a dime with a look or a comment? Do you feel like what you do is never enough—that you’re never enough? And has all of that pressure left you feeling overwhelmed, anxious, or depressed? Maybe turning to food for comfort? If so, this book is for you.
Despite what you may think, I doubt you are weak, disorganized, codependent, a people pleaser, or that you lack motivation or willpower. Nor are you alone.
Over my many years working with women in therapy, it would be hard to count the number of bright, capable, successful women who have shared with me their fears of not being “good enough”, or how easily they are derailed by disapproval. And I have yet to meet a woman who feels her body is as it “should” be.
So, why is it that so many women feel they don’t measure up or find themselves constantly scrambling for approval or to be “good enough”? That is the question that prompted me to write this book.
Never Enough explores,the external factors, including our history as women, that keep us looking outside of ourselves for how we “should” be, while abandoning our true selves, our internal wisdom, and all that we were meant to be in this lifehow the brain, in an effort to protect and help us, often makes change difficult and knowledge insufficient in changing patterns of behaviorthe specific skills that have helped women turn this around
My gift, as a licensed psychologist, is helping women celebrate their unique beauty and truth and to step out of the no-win struggle to gain approval and be “enough.” I’d like to help you do that as well and to get you tapping into the treasure chest of strength, wisdom, and power that is waiting right there inside you! You may not believe it is there, and it is. It is just being overrun by a strong pull for approval or other outdated faulty assumptions about yourself.
Imagine how good it will feel be yourself and trust your yourself, even when facing disapproval deal with uncomfortable feelings like fear and guilt when speaking upfeel confident and comfortable in your bodycelebrate who you are—your wisdom and beautyknow what you need and be able to ask for it in an effective wayfinally get to the place where you can relaxalign with your larger purpose and greatest desiresbloom into all you were meant to be!
I want you to have the chance to bloom and blossom in the magnificent way that is only possible for you.
My vision for you, and for all women, is a move from the outdated pull to find safety through approval to a place grounded on the firm foundation of your own wisdom—feeling safe to be yourself, to support and be supported by other women, as well as by larger sources of support like the spiritual.

This book is "never enough". It is a really great book discussing self-worth. Chapter 11 "learning to bloom" was a very helpful chapter for me. I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.
