Description
A relatable, personal, and raw gab sesh on modern motherhood that reminds us we're already doing--and we already are--enough, from the writer behind the popular blog They Whine, So I Wine.
The past few years have hit moms everywhere like a ton of bricks. Our exhaustion is at an all-time high. Our mental capacity is hanging on by a thread. Yet everywhere women turn, we're bombarded with the idea that we could be doing more, as if somehow our best is simply not enough. The role of the mother has expanded tenfold, and the demands don't stop just because we've hit our threshold. So, when we can't keep up, we feel one thing: failure. Jennifer knows this word all too well. She used to feel it all the time. Day after day, she grappled with why she could never seem to keep up. After all, everyone else seemed to be doing just fine, so why wasn't she?
If We're Being Honest is a mother's journey of freeing herself of societal ideals and generational norms, of overcoming perfectionism, and embracing who she was designed to be. On her road to self-discovery, Jennifer realized that although she felt isolated in her thinking, she was far from alone. Countless other moms feel these very same things, and she began connecting with them on her popular blog, They Whine, So I Wine. In this book, she shares her journey to remind us that the first step to finding joy comes when we honor and love ourselves as we were authentically designed to be. We don't need to do more. We are worthy today.
