Thank you @booksparks (partner) & @sourcebooks for my gifted copy of “Slay Like A Mother: How to Destroy What’s Holding You Back So You Can Live the Life You Want” by Katherine Wintsch!
.
This empowering self-help book champions the kind of self-doubting that mother Katherine Wintsch, CEO of The Mom Complex, calls “Never-Enough,” the kind of mother whose guilt, desperation, & fear about not being enough is overwhelming.
.
Based on more than a decade of research, “Slay Like a Mother” takes a brave new look at the increasing population of modern mothers & reveals the good, the bad, & the ugly behind the battles they fight within. Brave, supportive, & insightful, the stories and advice shared in this book will teach women to live more confidently, enjoy the present, & slay like a mother.
.
This book is exactly what all women should read. It discusses ways women can & should support & empower each other & how we should be lifting one another up instead of tearing each other down. (Let’s face it, women can be the absolute worst, am I right?) We often say we are all about supporting other women, yet we are also the ones judging each other the hardest, comparing ourselves to one another, trying to conform to what we feel society expects us to look like, & pointing out what we are told are flaws on ourselves and others. Being a woman & a mother is really fracking hard!
.
I know I, for one, am my own biggest critic. I strive too hard for perfection in everything I do, & it ends up backfiring on me in one way or another, & I end up mentally or physically exhausted. Motherhood is hard, one of the hardest jobs in the universe; but it doesn’t have to be.
.
I will chose to be the best me I can be, but not get down on myself when I don’t feel like I am matching my own expectations or societies even. I will choose instead to love myself- my imperfect self- & be the best mother I can be & not compare my life or looks to another mothers. I will be the Mother of Dragons (#GOTreference) & slay like one as well!
.
“Slay Like a Mother” is thought-provoking, inspiring, relatable & brutally honest. The paperback comes out on 3/3 & the hardback is available now.
