She is a beautiful young woman in so many ways who is never beautiful enough (from her POV).

We are taking yoga together and the yoga instructor read this at the beginning of the class. My daughter loved it and I hope it will sink in with her:

My beloved child, break your heart no longer. Every time you judge yourself you break your own heart. You stop feeding on the love which is the wellspring of your vitality. The time has come. Your time. To live, to celebrate, and to see the goodness that you are. You, my child, are divine. You are pure. You are sublimely free. You are God in disguise, and you are always perfectly safe. Do not fight the dark, just turn on the light, and breathe into the goodness that you are.
