About this listen
All women have been subjected to the pervasive idea that we have to look a certain way; have young, beautiful skin; show no blemishes; and be thin and attractive. And if we don't fit into this stereotype of what society thinks is beautiful, then we are shunned, teased, degraded, or even ostracized. It has been proven that people who are considered more attractive get better jobs, have more friends, and are treated better in society as a whole. Is it no wonder, then, with all these messages coming at us from all directions, that body image is a problem for all women? After all, we all want the best in life, no matter our weight or what we look like, so we do our best to measure up.
But there is a better way. You can learn to love yourself and accept who you are. That's what this book is all about. Listen, and you will learn how to improve your body image and discover that there is a lot to love inside your skin. Trust that you are beautiful without all the products. This book will show you how.

The truth is that very few of us are blessed with high levels of natural self-esteem. Humans are flawed by our very nature. That’s what makes life interesting. The negative conditioning we absorb through the years, especially with regards to ourselves, can really hinder our thinking. It can stifle our progress, and often cause us much undue mental anguish along the way. I have long been obsessed with uncovering the principles which most effectively lead to a harmonious life. This book is designed to get you back to the natural and pure, success-seeking mindset you had as a toddler.

Placing conditions on our lives and our happiness has become the norm: We must establish a career before looking for a relationship. We must find love before feeling fulfilled. We must feel stressed out until we finish everything on our to-do list. But by far, the most common conditions we put on ourselves revolve around our weight - no love until we lose the weight, no pursuing a dream until we lose the weight, no happiness until we lose the weight. But now there’s a better option.

Have you ever wanted to be more confident or love your imperfections? Our self-esteem ends up determining who we are and how we approach life. Hence, you cannot turn a blind eye to your low self-esteem. The feelings you possess about yourself have the capability to not only affect you, but also others in the process. When your self-esteem and confidence levels are low, you will start losing trust in yourself and that can easily convert into feelings of frustration. Bit by bit, this pent-up frustration starts eating away at your happiness.

Story
After the success of her first book, The Goddess Revolution, which was all about fostering a healthier relationship with food and your body, Mel Wells helps you dive deeper into your food and body psychology. As a health coach, Mel believes that our unwanted eating habits could actually be pointing us in the direction of our soul's true calling and that our addictions reveal something much greater than cravings for caramel lattes - they reveal a need for love, connection, intimacy, and the feeling of being truly seen and understood, in spite of all our failures and flaws.

Story
Superheroes don't start from glorious beginnings. Their origins are almost always marked by traumatic events that leave them helpless and scared. Batman witnessed his parents' murder. Superman was sent away from his dying planet with no one to guide him as he grew up. Orphaned Catwoman was forced to steal food to survive on the streets of Gotham. What makes these superheroes super is their determination to not be defined by helplessness. They embrace their origins, their flaws, and their mistakes and strive every day to become the best versions of themselves.

Story
Put a stop to self-sabotage and overcome your fears so that you can gain the confidence you need to reach your goals and become your own best friend. Too many people seem to believe that they are not allowed to put themselves first or go after their own dreams out of fear of being selfish or sacrificing others' needs. The Self-Love Experiment rectifies this problem. Whether you want to achieve weight loss, land your dream job, find your soul mate, or get out of debt, it all comes back to self-love and accepting yourself first.

BOOK REVIEW.....
A few things on this book was helpful and thought provoking. It's worth listening to.
AUDIO REVIEW......
The narrator wasn't bad but she could have used slowing down on reading it.

It was okay.
Would you say that listening to this book was time well-spent? Why or why not?
Yes and no. She states that we should tell ourselves that we are beautiful the way we are, etc, but I don't feel like she focuses on *change* to love ourselves more.
How would you have changed the story to make it more enjoyable?
Focused more on changing our bodies so that we DO love ourselves more. I feel like there are too many obese women in this world that love themselves a bit too much, kind of like the show "fat and fabulous". I'm an overweight person but really I don't want to see fat women let it all hang out. It's one thing to love yourself, quite another to not care what the world thinks and flaunt your body like you're a super model.
What about Rebecca Roberts’s performance did you like?
Her voice was pleasant to listen to. Not sure I would have made it through it otherwise.
Was The Wisdom of a Big Girl worth the listening time?
Yes and no. It had some good points.
Any additional comments?

This Has A Great Message, Recommended
"The Wisdom of a Big Girl" was an excellent listen. This audiobook has a great message as well as wonderful advice for any girl or woman whose ever had not just a weight problem but body image issues. As women we are constantly barraged by what we should look like or be like and these images are not who we are. I think this is a great book and I'd definitely recommend it.
I know several women who would love this audiobook as I did. These are real things that we face from an early age on and the author, Joanna Arielle Haimowitz addresses them and offers safe and sound avenues to steer us away from that mindset.
Rebecca Roberts did a great job narrating this book. She was positive and upbeat which is what this is all about. She also has perfect voice inflections. This was a good example of what I love to hear; author/reader on the same page. Awesome!
