Good Enough: Believing Beautiful through Trauma, through Life, through Disorder

Because it doesn't matter how many times someone looks you in the eyes and tells you you're beautiful, you have to believe it-and if you don't-you have to keep fighting.

In Good Enough: Believing Beautiful through Trauma, through Life, through Disorder, author Carly Newberg reveals what it's like to live with her "monsters"-the insidious voices inside her head that insist she isn't worthy-and her journey toward overcoming them. Drawing on her Christian faith and authors such as Dr. Anita Johnston, Don Richard Riso, and Mark Nepo, Carly encourages readers to shed their masks and enter the world as they are while embracing both their flaws and strengths.

In this collection of stories and journal entries, Carly explores...

• the reality of living with an eating disorder,
• the problem with comparison, and
• the ways in which one's environment affects one's growth-for better or worse.

Readers from all walks of life are sure to see themselves in Carly's story and discover new ways to thrive in spite of life's challenges. Most importantly, this memoir will empower readers to see past the false stories they tell themselves so that they, too, can believe they are good enough.
