Summary
Like so many American women, Shauna M. Ahern spent decades feeling not good enough about her body, about money, and about her worth in this culture. For a decade, with the help of her husband, she ran a successful food blog, wrote award-winning cookbooks, and raised two children. In the midst of this, at age 48, she suffered a mini-stroke. Tests revealed she would recover fully, but when her doctor impressed upon her that emotional stress can cause physical damage, she dove deep inside herself to understand and let go of a lifetime of damaging patterns of thought.
With candor and humor, Ahern traces the arc of her life in essays, starting with the feeling of "not good enough" which was sown in a traumatic childhood and dogged her well into adulthood. She writes about finding her rage, which led her to find her enduring motto: enough pretending. And she chronicles how these phases have opened the door to living more joyfully today with mostly enough: friends, family, and her community.
Listeners will be moved by Ahern's brave stories. They will also find themselves in these essays, since we all have to find our own definition of enough.

An interesting listen
I love the authenticity of this story. The debunking of ‘follow your bliss’ resonated especially. Hats off to Shauna for creating a wonderfully authentic and fulfilling life for herself despite some heavy challenges.

Amazing story well narrated
This was a brutally honest book with some heart breaking details. I really enjoyed listening to it but I wish there was more. It feels unfinished

A very important read
For anyone who has struggled with narcissistic parents, weight issues, self confidence issues and pretty much other issue the patriarchy thrusts on all people assigned female at birth ❤️ highly recommended!

Incredible , uplifting and inspirational story
I first heard of this book on my favourite podcast the guilty feminist. As soon as I heard Shauna talking and reading a bit of her book I bought it instantly.
What an amazing life story and has given me lots of inspiration and motivation to carry on. You are missing out if you don't read it.
Shauna, you might not read this review. But if you do, I would like to say that you are amazing and have overcome things that other people would have never done. Thanks for sharing your wonderful story.

Waste of time
All book is about traumas and complaining about life. Doesn’t have a good energy and very boring you can find much better books to listen
