I went through this book reading several chapters a week. Personally, I was able to identify with so much in the book it was amazing! Kathi and Cheri both share the chapters, focusing on personal experiences and what has worked for them. Everyone's overwhelm is different and they cover it all! I love the fact that Kathi doesn't claim to have all the answers, or that her way is the right way, instead, she gives suggestions, encouragement and support for each individual to discover themselves and what works for them.
Seriously, I cannot possibly recommend this book enough.
I am so excited about the upcoming year, and my new less chaotic and less overwhelmed life. I am already following multiple suggestions and tips from the book to help me get started on a less stressful life. God has created each of us to be our unique selves. What overwhelms you may not be what overwhelms another person, but God also does not want us to live overwhelmed. That is not His plan for our lives. "The life you were designed to live is waiting for you on the other side of overwhelmed."
I feel so very blessed to have participated in the launch team for this book. I received a complimentary copy to review but was not required to review it positively. All opinions are strictly my own. And I liked it so much I have purchased a copy for a friend.
