In a culture that bombards women with “thinspiration” messages and pressure to “do it all” while wearing the mask of perfection, women are left feeling alone and overwhelmed. How can they stop comparing themselves to others? How can they live out who they really are?
Lee Wolfe Blum offers stories from everyday women who have answered these questions with their lives—and found true beauty in the process. In Brave Is the New Beautiful, Lee weaves reflections from her own journey with inspirational stories from everyday women who chose to take off their masks and live authentically. Through call-to-action questions and ideas, she encourages readers to be brave enough to be who they really are and the beloved that God knows they are.
“In a world where we are encouraged to hide our pain and…with so few voices reminding us how deeply we need and long for one another, Lee Blum’s is a godsend.”
Chap ClarkLee encourages us “to move beyond the shallow waters of insecurity and strive toward a place of depth, courage, and authenticity.”
Gwen Smith“Full of first-hand experience and dozens of anecdotes, Lee paints a vision for how powerful women can be when they embrace life fully and freely.”
