Publisher Description
Identify, understand, and reframe your life story with this “must-read” (Christie Tate, New York Times bestselling author of Group), essential guide for self-acceptance from Lisa Olivera, a therapist, writer, and creator of a wildly popular Instagram account @_LisaOlivera.
When Lisa Olivera was just a few hours old, her birth mother abandoned her behind a rock near Muir Woods in Northern California. She was found and later adopted.
Growing up, Lisa knew she was adopted. She later learned she was abandoned. Like with many adopted children, this led Lisa to wonder: Why did her mother leave her behind? Without answers, Lisa came to believe she was not enough. This story wasn’t true, but it made sense of a confusing experience. It allowed her to move forward. It felt like the only way. Until, with the help of a therapist, Lisa began to tell herself a better story.
If you have ever felt like you didn’t belong, or like you weren’t worthy, or like you weren’t enough, just as you are…it might be time for you to rewrite your story, too. Now a therapist herself, Lisa shows you how.
In Already Enough, Lisa explores how our stories affect us—often much more than we realize. She guides us through reframing our stories so we can remember that we are already enough, just as we are. And she invites us to join her on a transformative journey to healing. “Beautiful, meditative, touching, and hopeful” (Arianna Huffington), Already Enough is a powerful reminder that we are the authors of our own stories. The sooner we decide to write a better story, the sooner we can live a more whole, more meaningful, more nourishing life.
APPLE BOOKS REVIEW
If elements of your life story have ever left you feeling limited, ashamed, or sad, this is the audiobook for you. Lisa Olivera’s sensitive, supportive guide to self-acceptance shows us that we don’t have to identify quite so hard with the stories we’ve been telling ourselves—especially if those stories no longer serve us. With her kind language and warm, soothing tone, Olivera helps us mentally reframe our experiences so we can let go of the negative beliefs about ourselves we’ve drawn from them. Olivera went through this process herself, reframing the way she thought about her birth mother abandoning her as a newborn so it was no longer “proof” that she was unworthy or unlovable. Both comforting and effective, Already Enough will make you feel less alone and more in control of your own beliefs.
