From having her lower legs amputated as a toddler, she has gone on to become one of history's most decorated athletes. Yet her true successes-and struggles-are not about winning medals or setting world records. \"Our worth cannot be placed in external things-our looks, job, or approval of others,\" she says. \"No achievement will make us feel worthy unless we can love ourselves without judgment.\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWith \u003ci\u003eBeyond the Surface\u003c\/i\u003e, Jessica offers an intimate exploration of the hard-won lessons she learned on her extraordinary journey. She opens up about the toughest challenges she faced-not just the trauma of multiple surgeries and prosthetics, but the anger, resentment, and insecurity of trying to find her place and identity in a world that viewed her as less than whole.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn each chapter, she reveals the resources and support that allowed her to overcome hardship-and translates them into practices to help you create a bedrock of self-acceptance that you can rely on even in the most difficult times.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePart 1 invites you to look within-to examine your beliefs about yourself, how they came to be, and how you can move from self-criticism and unworthiness to the freedom and possibility of unconditional self-love. Part 2 urges you to look outward-to challenge the cultural narrative and systemic forces that stand in the way of a more inclusive and equitable society.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"In sharing my story,\" says Jessica, \"including the ugly and uncomfortable parts, I hope to inspire you to love yourself just as you are.
