An easy, encouraging read! Mallory openly shares her story with many great insights, thought provoking ideas and interesting stories. I kept wanting to write down her quotes and remember her insightful messages. You’ll feel uplifted, motivated and encouraged after reading this book. Her motto of “living fully” is wonderful and is shared throughout each chapter.

Mallory took a self help. book and turned it into a story about grit, perseverance, dedication, and love. She has truly set the bar to a new level in this genre and set a tone that can inspire and help so many women reading it. I loved all of her personal stories and felt like there was a great balance of advice / help and back stories that kept you wanting to read more. There are some chapters that will have you feeling inspired and motivated to make serious changes in your life, to others that make you want to call your family and tell them how much you love them. She has a talent that is clearly evident within this book and I think it is appropriate for women of all ages and would make a great gift to anyone you love!

This was absolutely beautiful and inspiring. Mallory offers hope and great perspective. This is one I will return to again and again. Many thanks to the author, publisher, and NetGalley for the advanced copy of the book.

“I’ve lived quite a few Different type of lives in my time on earth so far”
What a great book. Mallory Ervin Tells her story of her many different types of lives she’s lived in an incredible story of vulnerability, passion and humility.
“I took my brokenness to have a breakthrough, I want you to have that breakthrough only without some of the brokenness”
I think what I liked most about this book is that she wrote this book to be a wake up call for others. She went through some big struggles and she’s letting everyone know how she came out of it so that others who are also struggling with similar things can help themselves as well.
“I walked in a lot of shoes on my journey. Some gave me blisters some twisted my ankles, some made me feel taller and more confident, some weighing me down”
She’s an almost winning Miss America, reality TV star and was addicted to prescription stimulants. She gives you steps to overcome some challenges if you’re struggling, and one of the examples is taking action. She isn’t just telling her story she’s letting you in on the ways that you could help yourself as well. She focuses a lot on balance and how to maintain it.
“I’ve also discovered that we are all searching for that comforting feeling of knowing someone else has been steeped in the darkness and found their way back to the light, and back to themselves”
I really enjoyed this book and how she cheers everyone else on in her own recovery.

Mallory Ervin has a very interesting story to tell. She has been (almost) to rock bottom, and has dug herself out of the trenches. In her new book, Living Fully, she holds nothing back, in the hopes of helping others heal and live their biggest life. Whenever someone in the public eye uses their fame to help others, they should be applauded. I hope her book will find the audience that it deserves and that it will help others defy gravity.

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.

Beautiful and inspiring book! I couldn't stop reading this! Mallory Ervin did such a wonderful job writing this book .. giving her heart and everything that does into "Living Fully." I can't wait to read this again!

I've followed Mallory on social media for quite sometime and to be approved for this ARC felt so special to me.

Her joy, her outlook, her way of choosing to see life as a gift...ugh it is infectious!!!!!

This is a must read for anyone and everyone. I loved it - I hope she finds incredible success in the book world.

Living Fully brought me so much warmth to my heart. I could not put the book down. The book came to me at the perfect moment of my life. I was dealing with some tough situations and after reading some of Mallory’s stories it gave me hope. I loved the book and I highly recommend.

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!
