What People are Saying About This
We are so quick to marvel in the beauty that God has created in the world around us, but we are so quick to dismiss the beauty that is our own body. Jennifer speaks the incredible truth of the incredible beauty of each individual body—that God made no mistake in the way each of us were created and that we should love and appreciate every aspect of it. This book is one that I hope females of all ages not only read once but again and again and soak in every powerful message that Jennifer so eloquently shares!
Your Good Body is one word: extraordinary. Jennifer has charged herself with bringing awareness to our unconscious destructive thoughts and breathing life into loving the journey we’re on. This book challenges your thoughts and the relationship you have with yourself. When you start reading, Jennifer is just an author, but when you finish, she’s a friend you want to invite to your house for tea. Absolutely love this book.
After recent weight loss, this book helped me release the mental and emotional weight that I didn’t even know I was carrying. I now know that I have a good body!
Jennifer speaks right to the journey many women have walked at some time in their life. Her words inspire acceptance and love for your body as is and propel you toward being your best self in mind and body. Your Good Body isn’t just good, it’s great.
Jennifer is the voice that every woman—whether 16, 46, or 60—needs in her head! Stop letting the scale boss you or shame you. Let this book be your new soundtrack instead. Take it from a middle-aged mom who is exhausted by the numbers that judge her every morning. This body is ready to remember why it is good, beloved, and beautiful just as it is.
“Woo-hoo!” was my first reaction as I read Jennifer Taylor Wagner’s Your Good Body: Embracing a Body-Positive Mindset in a Perfection-Focused World. It offers readers a journey of discovery: self-compassion, grit, motivation, and insight about what holds us back from reaching for our dreams and goals and how to get unstuck and move forward. It is also packed with practical tools and tips. This is not the typical book on weight loss. Jennifer communicates with authenticity, empathy, and hope that draws people who have struggled with similar body image issues.
It feels like Jennifer may have written Your Good Body just for me. It is personal and uplifting and has helped heal years of hurt and striving for the perfect body. This book showcases that contentment is not a number on a scale but a confidence in the body that God created specifically for you. This is a must-read for women of any age and at any point in their health journey.
I was highly impressed, emotionally moved, inspired, and empowered after I read Your Good Body by Jennifer Taylor Wagner. As an emphatic goal setter and goal getter, I thoroughly enjoyed Jennifer’s transparency and vulnerability as she precisely shared her weight loss journey and struggle with perfectionism and how she overcame insecurity to obtain true and sincere happiness. Not only did Jennifer open her heart and life within these pages, but I also enjoyed the exercises that are included at the end of every chapter. It made me really give thought to why I do what I do. Overall, this unique book is a must-read if you’re looking for empowering inspiration, practical information, and emotional support while on a weight loss journey. I promise you it will change your life because it changed mine.
Engaging and a must-read for all women! This book is candid, real, and inspiring. Jennifer’s own weight loss journey helps readers discover their why through personal reflection and action steps.
Jennifer is a powerhouse in the lane of helping women view their bodies as good. Her story and the way she models a healthy perspective has been so transformative for me, and I know it will be in the lives of her readers.
