Breaking Free (Stop Following Expectations and Start Following Yourself)

From social media star and motivational speaker Spencer West, an inspirational guide that shows you how to be the person you were meant to be all along.

“A practical guide for anyone who has felt trapped by fear, doubt, or expectations, and a meaningful reminder that the most important approval we ever need is our own. Spencer shows that when we let go of other people’s expectations and start listening to ourselves, real change becomes possible.”
— Paula Abdul

You might think that the hardest mountain Spencer West had to climb was Mount Kilimanjaro, but as he tells it, the real challenge was learning to overcome the everyday mountains we all face: anxiety, self-doubt, and the pressure to live up to the expectations of others.

Born without the use of his legs, Spencer discovered that the path he was told to follow only led to frustration and unfulfillment. With unrelenting candor and unexpected humor, Spencer shares his own experience of listening to his heart and creating a life defined by authenticity, not approval, to help you:

• Dig deep and uncover who you were always meant to be
• Pursue your passions fearlessly
• Embrace the life that you want to live on your own terms

The road to self-discovery is certainly filled with vulnerability, but once you stop seeking permission to be yourself, you’ll find your most powerful and authentic self awaits you on the other side.
