In Brave Love, the founder/designer of Lisa Leonard Designs helps us find freedom from the pressure we face to be the perfect wife, mom, and professional so we can love others---and ourselves---more boldly and deeply than ever before.
About the Book
Women today feel pressure to be the best wife, mom, and professional possible, often at the expense of our own identities. But what if you accepted that you're loved right now, just as you are? Join jewelry designer Lisa Leonard as she inspires you to find yourself again--even amid the mess of real life.
When Lisa said her wedding vows, she was determined to be the best wife she could be. When her first son was born with a severe disability, Lisa promised herself she would always be the mother he needed. When she began her jewelry business, Lisa committed to giving it her all.
Over the years, the exhaustion of trying to be everything to everyone took its toll. Lisa knew it wasn't working. She wanted to change things, but how? One evening, in tears and desperation, Lisa realized that somewhere along the way, she had lost herself.
As you explore Lisa's own journey to finding freedom from the things that were holding her back, her story will teach you how to:
- Find more peace and joy in your everyday life
- Stop trying to be everything to everyone
- Discover your truest self
In Brave Love, Lisa shares her story of finding her own voice again--and walks with you as you do the same.
Praise for Brave Love:
"I'm so thankful for the path that Lisa Leonard has walked, from perfection and performance toward connection and grace, and I'm thankful as well for her vulnerability and creative storytelling. Her journey is one that will resound with so many women."
--Shauna Niequist, New York Times bestselling author of Present Over Perfect
Reviews
'In this personal memoir, Lisa Leonard tells her own story of struggle against the established social norms and won.
