Hi, I'm Zara, warrior princess. I don't usually tell that last bit to strangers, but I say it in my head all the time. It's one of the many mantras that have helped me to get to where I am today. And believe me when I say that I've come a long way.

Besides, if you're a woman and you happen to have ever struggled with issues of self-esteem, we're probably gonna be fast friends anyway, so I won't hold anything (much) back.

Oh, and Zara wasn't the name I was born with - but you'll find out more about that in the book.

I don't know about you, but my own struggle with my weight has held me back a bit in life. And my self-esteem took a real nose dive after my fiancé dumped me - via text, no less (I know, right? Jerk!), but I don't usually dwell on things in the past, so let's just move right along from that, shall we?)

So, I'm still a work-in-progress for sure, but I'm really starting to figure it all out - how to be more of who I'm meant to be every day - including the bumps, the lumps, and my bruised ego along the way.

Oh and I love my sisterhood (more about that later) - the women who join me in believing that we are all capable of being strong, amazing, warrior princesses - just the way we are right now.
