For the rest of us, the secret to living a full and connected life is finding the courage to show up as our real selves and stop participating in our own loneliness.
With honesty, heart, and humor, Johnston shares the lessons she’s learning (and relearning) about cultivating an authentic life, including:
Written for anyone who's ever felt left out, or wanted to throw their phone across the room after looking at Instagram, Perfect is Boring (and It Tastes Like Kale) offers readers a breath of fresh air by sharing the unfiltered truth that we're in this together.

- “I count, I’m important, and I matter—even if people introduce themselves to me 500 times.”

- “Showing up is more important than winning. Trying is more important than saving face.”
