Welcome to my stop on the Slay Like a Mother blog tour sponsored by Suzy Approved Book Tours! Thank you to Suzy for the invitation!
About the Book:
“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, and 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 and reveals the good, the bad, and the ugly behind the battles they fight within. Brave, supportive, and insightful, the stories and advice shared in this book will teach women to live more confidently, enjoy the present, and slay like a mother.”
My Thoughts:
I have to mention the cover of this book. I love that it doesn’t have a dust jacket (anyone else take those off while reading?), and everything is printed right on the hard cover. It’s so sleek!
Ever feel not good enough when trying to manage all of life’s responsibilities? Katherine Wintsch has been there, too, and she has a supportive way of sharing with her own stories and those of other moms, to let you know everyone feels that way at one time or another.
But how can you feel different? Wintsch is all about the empowerment and believing in yourself. Many of us, even those of us who aren’t moms, wear a mask of everything being ok, where deep within we feel anything but. Wintsch recommends just being yourself and taking off that mask; that you are already good enough and slay that dragon that keeps you down!
She also talks about the mom comparisons being the thief of joy and how not to compare ourselves to others. Wintsch takes her book to a deeply personal place with honesty and an overall uplifting, “You’ve got this” feel. I definitely recommend it for a pick-me-up.
I received a complimentary copy. All opinions are my own.

Oh, I hear you, Kris! I think we all know how to fill our plates no matter what our responsibilities are. Or more likely, all our plates are always filled! I hope things improve. ♥️ ♥️

Sounds like a book I definitely need to read. It’s so hard not to compare yourself to other mothers or feel like your not doing enough or doing it well. I so often feel overwhelmed or like it’s falling apart, like now actually. Wonderful review, my friend. ♥

You’re welcome, Jennifer! Aww, thank you. That means so much right now. We are starting school next Monday (I’ve opted to do a yr round schedule with her this time of 4wks on/1 wk off to give us both some breathing room) and have had a lot of other things going on, so it’s been very busy. Hard to believe the summer, for us anyway, is winding down. Thanks for thinking of me! I swear I haven’t disappeared! xoxo ❤

Not a mom but I always love books that leave you feeling empowered and ready to take on the next challenge. Plus, the cover is quite pretty.

Gosh, this is one I really need to read! I feel like moms everywhere are constantly comparing themselves. It’s so hard being a mom anyways, not just the responsibilities, but also the impact we have on our kids, and never really knowing what the future will bring. Awesome review, Jen. This one’s going on my TBR. 💕
