I wrote this book because I got tired of pretending everything was fine when it wasn't — and I had a feeling I wasn't the only one.
I've navigated my parents' divorce, struggled with body image and self-worth, battled anxiety and depression, survived middle school (barely), and spent more time than I'd like to admit comparing myself to every other girl on the planet.
I've been homeschooled, I've been the girl without a date to homecoming, and I once ate my feelings so hard I forgot what actual hunger felt like.
But I also discovered something powerful along the way: I was always good enough. I just had to stop listening to the lies long enough to hear the truth.
I wrote More Than Enough not because I have all the answers, but because I remember what it felt like to have none — and I want every teenager reading this to know they're not walking that road alone.
When I'm not writing, I can be found working out, journaling, eating foods I actually enjoy (yes, including junk food sometimes), and reminding myself daily that God's timing is better than my impatience.
Why I Wrote This Book
Because I Needed It
I needed this book when I was younger, and it didn't exist. So I made it. For me, and for every teenager who needs someone to look them in the eye and say: you are more than enough.
Because You're Not Alone
This isn't me talking at you from some pedestal. This is me sitting next to you, probably in sweatpants, saying "Hey. Me too. And here's what I've learned so far."
Because Truth Matters
Whether you share my faith or come from a completely different background, the truths in these pages are universal: you have value, you are worthy of love, and you don't have to become someone else to matter.
