Summary: "Brit Barron grew up in an Evangelical megachurch in the '90s, trying to fit neatly inside the boundaries her church and its narrow view of God had placed around her. She was boxed in by her fears, unable to realize her full potential. All that changed when she met a girl named Sami, fell in love, and chose to leave behind those narrow boundaries in favor of a fuller and more vibrant life. In Worth It, Brit tells her story to inspire all of us to overcome our own fears--the kinds of fears that keep us from evolving beyond the narratives that have been handed to us by others. We can't avoid or outrun these fears, but if we face them, we'll find out that it was so worth it!" -- Publisher description.

Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:

With energy, transparency, and humor, notable speaker Brit Barron shares with readers how to face their fears, overcome judgement, and stand in their own truth with confidence.

As a RISE Conference speaker and contributor to numerous podcasts, Brit Barron has an amazing story to tell. Growing up in an evangelical megachurch in the '90s, trying to fit neatly inside the boundaries of her faith, and wrestling with her true self, caused Barron to feel boxed in by her fears and unable to realize her full potential. All that changed when she met a girl named Sami, fell in love, and chose to break free from the judgement of others in favor of a full and vibrant life.

In Worth It, Brit tells her story to inspire readers, encouraging us all to consider other perspectives surrounding race, religion, and sexuality, including fears that keep us from evolving toward acceptance. In a relatable, encouraging tone that celebrates differences and community, Brit's freedom and healing found on the journey remind us we are capable of living authentic lives and getting beyond the narratives that have been handed to us by others. We can't avoid or outrun our fears, but if we face them, we'll find out that it was so worth it !
