- You need an extra hour in the day. Possibly four.
- You fall into bed exhausted most nights yet unsure what you actually did all day (because it definitely wasn't any of the 367 things on your to-do list).
- You miss yourself (even though you're with yourself all day long)! If so, this book was written just for you. You Cannot Be Serious: and 32 Other Rules That Sustain a (Mostly) Balanced Mom is a roadmap to shift your perspective and put you back in the driver's seat in order to bring consistent joy back into your amazing life. The alternative is continuing to live in comfortable mediocrity, and that life isn't for you! Reading YOU CANNOT BE SERIOUS will:
-Untie your nots so that you can begin taking intentional steps toward the life of your dreams
-Eliminate the two words that are unconsciously sabotaging your growth
-Equip you to view chaos as an opportunity
-Reframe your focus each time you begin comparing yourself to other moms who seem to have it all
-Empower you to trust your intuition...the first time!
-Grant you permission to take care of yourself in a way that ensures you have full control over your own happiness at all times. EDITORIAL REVIEWS
