Life Without Approval: My Journey From Worrying What Others Think to Embracing My Own Voice In Society, Love and Work

By Cynthia Belmer

We all have a tendency to seek other people’s approval because our deepest desire is to be loved and accepted. So if we could change the stories that block us from being our honest self, then we could achieve happiness with less stress and anxiety.

Cynthia Belmer’s Life Without Approval: My Journey From Worrying What Others Think to Embracing My Own Voice In Society, Love and Work (Hummingbird Publishing) is an inspiring memoir of a young woman’s journey from Lebanon to the United States and how finding the courage to be herself, transformed every aspect of her life.

Life Without Approval shows how you can change what you don’t like about your life through finding gifts in everything you have been through and loving yourself unconditionally, especially during your most vulnerable moments. Self-acceptance is key to experiencing your freedom and becoming your fullest expression. Belmer sets out thought-provoking questions at the end of each chapter inviting you to begin your own journey toward finding your voice.

“Human emotions are universal regardless of the stories we tell ourselves,” she says, “and beneath it all, we want the same thing: to be free to be who we are and to be loved unconditionally.”

Life Without Approval is not a regular self-help book. Instead, it is a memoir that was written in the most vulnerable and transparent way, inspiring us to ask the hard question: Who am I choosing to be in relation to my experiences?

Q.    What’s the book about?

A.    It’s about my personal journey from Lebanon to the states and how I overcame the fear of being judged and found my true voice. Through questions and examples, I invite the readers to start looking for answers within themselves and to uncover the blocks that are keeping them from becoming who they’re meant to be in every area of life.

B.    Why did you write the book?

A.    I had a strong calling to help my readers witness that it’s possible to fall in love with their past and to be free to express themselves authentically in every area of life regardless of what others think or say about them.

Q.    What will the reader discover as they’re reading the book?

A.    This is not a typical inspirational story where readers witness my life lessons,  Meeting Freedom has coaching questions and calls to action that will help the readers discover that they’re not alone in their journey; we all have the same wants, needs and fears regardless of our background. They’ll be also able to change the meaning of their experiences, to let go of social expectations and become more accepting and loving towards themselves in every area of life.

Q.    Who should read the book?

A.    This is geared towards women who define themselves through the eyes of society, and most importantly who feel ashamed and stuck in their past experiences. The stories and coaching questions in the book will help them reflect on what’s blocking them in every area of life and develop love, compassion and courage to let go of their past and reveal who they are meant to be in this world.
