"Beautiful You is your guide to overcoming burdensome feelings and
enjoying life in new ways . . . You may have shrugged it off when
your mother, friend or partner assured you that you were beautiful,
but you'll become a believer when Rosie tells you. In fact, you'll
start telling yourself the same thing."--Michelle Icard, author of
Middle School Makeover: Improving the Way You and Your Child
Experience The Middle School Years
"A supportive guide filled with wisdom and practical tips for
taking compassionate care of our bodies and ourselves . . . It
empowers us to listen to ourselves, to ask for what we need, to
pursue our dreams, to surround ourselves with kind people, to build
a meaningful life, whatever that looks like for us. Because we are
worthy. Inherently worthy. I can't imagine a more powerful or vital
message."--Margarita Tartakovsky, PsychCentral.com
"Exactly what the beauty conversation needs. With its
thought-provoking content, including helpful personal essays and
abundant opportunities for self-reflection, this book lovingly
urges readers to embrace themselves fully in order to live a more
empowered life. The world needs more books (and authors) like
this!"--Jess Weiner, CEO of Talk to Jess
"Molinary has done a fabulous job of offering practical and doable
advice to help women see--and appreciate--themselves in a whole new
way, and to realize that a healthy body image is about so much more
than what we think we see in the mirror. I'm giving this book my
ultimate seal of approval."--Dara Chadwick, author of You'd Be So

We Don't Love Our Own
"Rosie Molinary's compassion pulses on every page, guiding readers
through action-oriented approaches to self-acceptance with skill,
grace, and empathy. Self-help has never been presented with a
better chemistry of expertise and love. Readers wise enough to
place their trust in her and engage with this book will be richly
rewarded."--Autumn Whitefield-Madrano, author of Face Value: The
Hidden Ways Beauty Shapes Women's Lives
"Women are sick of the same tired, stale body image advice. . . .
we need real, functional tips that can help us break out of a bad
body image day. Rosie Molinary answers our call in Beautiful You:
Her ideas are inspired, creative, and totally doable, with many
carrying a trickle-down effect to the younger generation of girls.
With the first day of reading it, my copy was thoroughly
dog-eared."--Leslie Goldman, author of Locker Room Diaries: The
Naked Truth About Women, Body Image, and Re-imagining the "Perfect"
