What an AMAZING, life changing book. For anyone wanting practical tips on how to truly live life fully, purchase this book. Mallory does a phenomenal job of truly showing women they can live a full and joyful life even in the hard seasons of life. Her book truly gave me a perspective shift. Cannot wait to recommend this to all I encounter. Hopefully, this is the first of many books from this very talented author and all around great influence.

I requested a copy of this book from Netgalley because of the topic and description.
I was aware that many people know who Ms. Ervin is, but I really did not know her background.
I found the content refreshing and inspirational. It tells about her backstory but also shares her point of view that will help others when they find themselves struggling to move forward in life.

I could relate to situations and actions the author admitted to. One of the inspiring quotes in the book comes from author and activist Glennon : Whatever we use to numb the pain hurts us more than the pain would have...

Ms. Ervin reminds us to understand and live my own personal values. Don't depend on others for validation. Consider what your legacy will be, what good you have cause in the world that will remain after you are gone.
She also reminds us that whatever happens to us, we have control over how we perceive it and what action we take next. She gives advice on action steps to take to help the reader change perspective and move forward in a positive light.

After reading the book I am motivated to check out her podcast.

Mallory's book was a pleasure and is so fitted for girls and women caught by external voices and noise. It is a beautiful journey of discovery and accepting one's self and living life fully.

This book is a very helpful and insightful guide to elevate our lives from ordinary to living fully! The debut author expertly utilizes her many varied life experiences to guide us to live lives of joy and happiness instead of settling for mediocre lives of “just getting by”. Mallory invites readers to read her journey thus far in life through lofty achievements and devastating lows to now leading a deeply fulfilled, joyful, and rewarding life. She encourages readers to shift perspective, identify their passions, and find their truest selves. She emphasizes an important reminder to enjoy everyday moments. Her positive advice and explanations resonate as a combination of a refreshing talk with a friend and a beneficial therapy session to enable readers to live their best lives. I highly recommend this book!

I wasn’t too familiar with Mallory but I it’s say the cover and inspirational tone drew me in!
Premise
Mallory Ervin is known for exuding energy, joy, and laughter. But despite her public accomplishments, Mallory is no stranger to battling unhealthy attachments to performance and success. Now​, in her unforgettable debut book, Mallory invites readers to see how her surprising journey—from achievement and accolades to devastating, never-before-shared lows—guided her and led her to a deeply fulfilling life.

In Living Fully, Mallory shares her personal story of overcoming the unhealthy and damaging patterns in her life and shows readers how to trade this for something completely new and more rewarding. What she discovered was there had always been a different life available to her, one that she had not yet seen. Now she encourages readers to resist a “just fine” existence and to step into a life they never dared to imagine before. Through inspiring stories and practical advice​ Mallory encourages readers to:

• stop returning to a “just getting by” mentality
• shift perspective so blessings don’t become burdens
• remember that life’s curveballs don’t have to knock you off your feet
• identify your passions and get back to your truest self
• slow down and enjoy the extraordinary in the everyday moments
• quiet the voice of fear
• get clear on the life you want

I loved all her concepts and ideas and learned so many unique tips and advice to apply to my life!
