PRAISE FOR THE SELF-LOATHING PROJECT "The Self-Loathing Project is an honest and eye-opening view, describing how so many of us feel as women. Each of us has something we are carrying around. Some of the stories were heart-wrenching, some of them inspiring, but all of them moved me in a way that made me feel bonded to each and every one of these brave women. It felt like I was sitting in a living room listening to a group of friends just tell their stories and I wanted to wrap each one of them in a hug. I believe we can all relate to every message. A wonderful read."-Jenn Lefebvre, blogger and influencer, A Healthy Makeover "This book really touches on something important to all women-and the author has given it a voice and a space for discussion. The variety of ages is impressive, as is the variety of responses and candor of these women. I particularly like how the author bookended the interviews with upbeat, clarifying content. Her introduction sets the tone for what the reader is about to experience while her closing chapters and supplemental material bring the interviews together with understanding and hope. An amazing collection that is well curated and crafted."-Viqui Dill, blogger and musician, Happiest when Folks Sing Along with Me
