True You

by Tracey D. Bianchi Adele Ahlberg Calhoun, Carol Hendrickson (Reader)

Act like a lady. Land a career. Find a man. Learn how to cook. Rear amazing kids. Oh! And be sure you stay thin. Pressure to perform and conform starts early in a woman's life and never stops. In attempts to compensate and keep up appearances, we lose our ability to keep in touch with the truest parts of ourselves. We put on masks and hide the painful parts of our stories. If we get a quiet moment, we are ambushed with Who am I? This audiobook serves as a companion as we find ourselves, our sense of community, and our identity in God. Designed to take you deeper with God on your own or with a group of sisters, journey alongside experienced ministers Adele Ahlberg Calhoun and Tracey Bianchi into some of the places where women struggle - no matter what their age or life-stage. Personal resources like journaling questions and a small group guide help women support each other on the way. These pages offer a reminder that there is a beloved, "true you" waiting to be known in each of us and that a world in need awaits the unique stories that each of us were made to tell. Will you use your voice?

This book is compelling and inspiring without being preachy. Also insightful, but grounded in practicality. Highly recommend.

The third section with the chart "Life stages and living the season" is worth the price of admission -- beauty, vulnerability, letting go, and temptation.

I read this book before attending a conference by these women. I am now even more excited for the event! In this season of my life I really appreciated the chapter on life stages and seasons. Very helpful cbart on pgs 130-131!
