Truly Seen: Stop Striving to Be Thin and Perfect and Set Yourself Free

By Tara Whitney

You're driven and accomplished. You set high standards for yourself. You're also trying to diet your way to a slimmer body.

Despite doing everything you think you're supposed to do, you still feel like you can't measure up. Instead of feeling successful, you're exhausted and frustrated.

Truly Seen explores why your tireless efforts aren't paying off. The Promise of the Thin and Perfect is a powerful cultural mechanism that tells women they need to reach external standards of perfection and thinness to be attractive, successful, and happy. These ideals are rarely achievable, but that hasn't stopped you from trying.

You've worked tirelessly to prove yourself. You've waited to pursue your dreams and passions until you've felt good enough-a time that hasn't arrived. And you've hidden yourself by only showing the world a woman who has her shit together.

Until now, you haven't questioned these strategies. They just feel normal and mandatory.

It's time to stop trying to be an ideal version of you. It hasn't made you feel more successful-it's only harming your health and eroding your sanity.

As a CPA and working mom who stepped away from perfectionism ideals and diet culture, Tara Whitney leverages her expertise as an intuitive eating counselor, yoga teacher, and coach to share concrete ways to break free from cultural ideals so you can define success and happiness for yourself.
