this book changed my life and I am Not Kidding. honestly think everyone should read this book at least once in their lives. the kind tone and accessible formatting makes it an easy one to jump around in, dip in and out, and honestly is so calm to read that I found myself poking at it here and there when I was feeling bad.
if you have ever battled with care task upkeep (not just for your home but also for yourself) and the shame/self-deprecation that surrounds that struggle, this book is for you. I felt so unbelievably seen and the actual help part of the self-help felt real and customizable to anyone who reads it.
this book doesn’t tell you anything you /have/ to do or even /how/ to do something, but instead helps us break down the barriers holding us back from being kind to ourselves and offers various ways to help figure out what would work best for anyone as an individual.
if you exist, you deserve kindness and care, in all things. and if you find that hard, this might be a helpful resource to get there
