    About this audiobook

    At some point in life, every woman struggles with feelings of insecurity and inadequacy. Whether fueled by a culture of makeover shows, by the lingering memories of mean girls, or by events and regrets much more wounding to the soul, our thoughts can become so conditioned by self-doubt that it's often the primary lens through which we view ourselves or expect to be viewed by others. But what if we could rewrite the narrative? What if we could exchange our uncertainty for an abiding confidence? And what if in unearthing our worth, we uncovered our purpose as well, becoming free to unleash our gifts within community and find ourselves in complete communion with our Creator? In this fearless, funny, and refreshingly relatable chronicle of her own metamorphosis from the insecurity that once held her captive, author Kayla Aimee unfolds the blueprint for women to:• Identify the deep-seated sources of our assumed inadequacy and replace them with steadfast truths of affirmation • Embrace the boldness and courageous confidence of who we are in Christ • Replace our need for approval with the promise of an enduring acceptance • Uncover our purpose, unlock our potential, and celebrate our unique personalityTo every woman who longs for belonging, this journey through Kayla's inviting prose, biblical promises, and journaling prompts will help guide her from restless insecurity to a beautiful becoming. We weren't made for being captives; we were made for being captivated, for fully embracing the truth of who we've been created to be.

      This is a pretty good and entertaining book. The author has a great personality, and is a good narrater. The book is filled with sometimes funny, and sometimes heartfelt stories from her life, with a moral to each story.

      Most women that I know seem to deal with feelings of insecurity and inadequacy. In today’s world of advertising, social media we are in a culture that is fueled by makeover shows, celebrities, and advertising that tells us how to dress, how to look and how to live. Most of the average day to day women have been hurt by the lasting memories of mean girls, or by other events much more wounding to the soul, we can become accustomed by self-doubt that it becomes ingrained to our self-image and thinking.

      The focus of this book is to retrain our thoughts and to take another look at who God has created and how much He loves us and because He loves us we can love ourselves.
      Kayla Aimee has written a book that many women can relate to. As you read the book you feel like she has reached into your own life and pulled out hidden feelings that you may not even realize are there, until you think yes, I’ve been there and felt that too.
      Kayla Aimee has written this book using her own transformation from the self-doubt and inadequacy using examples from her own day to day life. In this book, she opens the way for women to:
      • Identify the deep-seated sources of our assumed inadequacy and replace them with steadfast truths of scriptural affirmation.
      • Replace our need for approval with the enduring promise of acceptance.

      • Uncover our purpose, unlock our potential, and celebrate the God-given gifts in our unique personality.
      This book is for every woman who longs for belonging, they will journey through Kayla’s writing and the biblical promises.
      What I enjoyed about this book is the fact that the writer is so easy to identify with. I found myself in many of the examples of her own life that she wrote about and that made it so much easier to understand that I am not the only one dealing with accepting myself and who I am.

      Any woman dealing with insecurities of any type would really appreciate this book. It is written by a woman who has been there, written in a warm, friendly way that invites the reader in and makes them feel welcomed.
      At the back of the book is a study guide, so that this book can be read and discussed as a group or individually.
