PERFECT IS BORING (AND IT TASTES LIKE KALE) Finding Belonging and Purpose Without Changing Who You Are

The author and narrator of this charming guide felt isolated and inferior earlier in life. Here she describes how being honest with herself and other women helped her find self-acceptance. While she doesn't perform with the polish of a voice pro, Johnston has a likable voice, conversational rhythm, and affecting vulnerability. Her vocal sweetness and the funny life episodes she shares create an inviting space for women to take a fresh look at their assumptions and expectations of themselves. She describes 14 lies that too many women absorb from their families, culture, and, especially, other women, lies that stifle who they are and create impossible ideals. This relatable wisdom will awaken the listener's desire for greater self-acceptance. T.W. © AudioFile 2025, Portland, Maine [Published: FEBRUARY 2025]
