How Many Big Fat Lies Do You Tell Yourself?

Amy Ahlers writes, “The most important relationship in your life is your relationship with you.” Yet, the majority of us women have a demeaning, unfulfilling relationship with ourselves.

In her new book, Big Fat Lies Women Tell Themselves: Ditch Your Inner Critic and Wake Up Your Inner Superstar (New World Library), Ahlers inspires us to become our true selves by leaving behind our inner mean girl and the lies she tells.

Even if you’re not conscious of some of the lies you tell yourself, this book will help you realize how detrimental self-criticism is, and serves as a guide to transform your life in powerful ways.

Book Exposes Common Lies

More than just a self-help guide, Big Fat Lies Women Tell Themselves is well-written book that highlights the “lies” that women tell themselves. These lies come from our “inner mean girl,” destroy our self-esteem, hold us back from our goals, and stall us from achieving peace and happiness within ourselves. These lies are detrimental to our physical, emotional, and spiritual health, so why do we do this to ourselves?

Says Ahler: “Through my personal experience and in my work as a coach, I’ve found it’s because human beings feel more comfortable ‘playing small.’ We cling to comfort, thus continuing to hold our own power hostage.” Ahler’s book identifies our “inner wisdom”: this is our truth, or our intuition. She explains how inner wisdom is so much more powerful than inner mean girl, and listening to it will allow our “inner superstar”—the brilliant light that shines within us—to emerge.

Chose to be Fabulous
