I always appreciate a productivity book that focuses on working moms and written by a woman. The audio is read by the author.

I don't know what I expected of this book based on the title and reviews, but this wasn't it and I was underwhelmed.
It was very Jesusy/church focused which is not my thing, it also spent a large chunk quoting from other self-help type talks and books.

Nothing earth-shattering here, but some solid common sense advice. Geared towards Christian readers, so be prepared to skip some sections if that's not you.

This book is so important for all Moms but it really speaks to the working Mom's heart. If you work out of the home, in the home, part-time, full-time, you will appreciate this book. It really is a guidebook with practical tips you can implement right away! As someone who is about to start a business I devoured each page so I can get rid of that Mom guilt before it creeps in! Jessica knows what she is talking about - she does more in one day than most of us accomplish in a week. If anyone can be an authority on this subject it's her!

Didn't click with me. The topic is something I relate to but I didn't find anything helpful in it. DNF

This was a good book that reminds you of all of the things that matter and poses great questions to help put things in order. I’m looking forward to going through and breaking through some barriers.

On audio. Jessica Turner is such an encouragement to working moms!

This was a good book, but I feel like it would have been more helpful if I had read it when I was working full time as it is geared towards working moms.

So many highlights. So much learning. Reading this felt like having a good friend to talk to about this working mom life. (That last paragraph made me tear up). This book made me feel like — yes, I can.

As a mom who freelances while her three kids are in elementary school, I read Jessica Turner’s book because “stretched too thin” feels like the definition of my days when I would like to describe only a few of my days.
This book takes a 360° review of your working mom life and helps you pinpoint the problem areas. But, Jessica Turner doesn’t stop at diagnosis. She gives practical put-the-book-down-and-try-immediately advice.
I didn’t have many aha moments while reading the book, but so many “AMEN sister” moments I lost count! This book not only made me realize that I’m not alone in my journey but I need to reach out to my other working moms friends because I’m definitely not the only one struggling.
Favorite Quotes:
- Know this: you are a great mom.
- While work might limit your experiences of being present, it doesn’t eliminate them.
- We are not meant to do things alone. Asking for help is not just OK; it is necessary.
- Mental and emotional self-care isn’t a privilege. It’s a necessity.
