Wonderful!
Format: Kindle
This is a book all moms NEED to read. I wish I had read it sooner in my motherhood journey, but I am glad I found it and read it now. I will be purchasing these as gifts for other moms. This book really helps you to find and determine ways you can still be "you" but also still be a good mother - without losing yourself in motherhood.

Opened my eyes to new ways of handling things
Format: Kindle
Catching up on older NetGalley reads, so I picked up this one on audio. Narrated by the author, Dr. Morgan Cutlip "Care for yourself the same way you care for your children..." (Could be kids -- I wrote down yourself twice) Being a single mom; wait... honestly even before I was a single mom, it is/was so hard to put myself first in line and along with that lose myself. From the time the little was born I put my focus into him, (at the time) my partner, and the house. For about 2.5 or 3 years after my divorce, I was autopilot of work, clean, take care of baby and sleep. At the beginning of '24, I made the goal to focus more on me and my mental health, because it was tanking. Okay, sorry I'll get off my soap box. But that is why I chose Morgan's book on NetGalley. I had lost myself, after the birth of my son and even in my marriage. I didn't know who I was or how to take care of myself, my needs. I think this book could help someone who is in the same boat. Throughout the text there appears to be QR codes that lead you to tools to help you work out your feelings and even how to approach your children's behavior. I obviously couldn't check these out over the audio and in my early ebook copy they were not included. There were a few chapters that even helped me see that there are different ways that I can approach my son's behavior when I'm starting to feel overwhelmed as he responds emotionally to something. So I would recommend this one to someone, I think. Or at least point them in the direction of this book. Thanks NetGalley and publisher for the opportunity to read Dr. Cutlip's book.

Highly recommended for struggling moms!!
Format: Paperback
I FEEL SO SEEN. I’ve read a variety of self help and parenting books since becoming a mom over three years ago, and not one of them has helped me in the slightest compared to this book. Not only are the directions simple, step-by-step and very clear, but I feel like she covered the gambit of what I’m going through. It felt like she was talking to me specifically!!! I’m beyond glad that I purchased this book physically, it’s going to be highlighted and referenced a ton over the past several years. Thank you so much Dr Cutlip!!

Okay
Format: Hardcover
Great for moms who may be struggling with overwhelm. This book may have been more beneficial for me for my first kid and before other studies I've participated in. Nonetheless, good info.

For Moms in ALL Seasons of Motherhood!
Format: Hardcover
This book is a must-read for all mothers, whether you're just starting your motherhood journey or have been on it for years. From the moment I opened this book, I was captivated by Dr. Morgan's insightful and compassionate writing. She shares her own experiences and vulnerabilities, letting you know you're not alone in your journey of motherhood. What truly sets the book apart is that it's not full of things to add to your already long list of how to be a better mother, therefore adding to the guilt you already carry, but it gives simple perspective changes that have profound impacts on how you view yourself which directly impacts your relationships with others. I cannot recommend it enough and am grateful for the positive impact it has had on my own journey as a mother.

Validating and incredibly helpful
Format: Hardcover
Most moms I know, including myself, are experiencing burnout. So often when we have babies we put ourselves on the back burner because it’s needed at first, but many of us never make it off that back burner. The book starts with some incredibly validating truths and a whole section making the case for why you should “mother yourself like you mother your kids.” This book isn’t just a list of self-care, it offers ways to make mental shifts that make a huge difference in how we view ourselves and treat ourselves. So much of the advice can be applied to other relationships in your life as well! I highly recommend to any mom in any season of motherhood.

Good book with examples. a little long so I recommend the audible version
Format: Hardcover
It's a nice hardcover book filled with text and almost no illustrations. There is an audio book version I really recommend the audible for moms because: 1) you can listen to it while working on other things (especially for busy mom who needs this book) 2) this book is filled with text and almost no illustrations, so you won't miss anything! It has about 250 pages, but it is light and easy to carry and read, making it convenient to read whenever you find a free moment. I think this is a positive aspect, especially for those who need this book the most – burnt-out moms who have limited time and need to find small pockets to read. The lightweight design of the book makes it easy to carry and read anywhere. (Note that in the book, there is a QR code on page 122 that leads you to the resources of the book, including RAM worksheets, Impossible Standards, and Challenge Hang-ups.) The book delves into why you may feel like you're losing yourself and helps you understand how you got there. Dr. Cutlip dedicates about 100 pages to discussing the five key steps: knowing deeply, trusting accurately, relying boldly, committing wisely, and touching purposefully. These steps are crucial in overcoming guilt and beating burnout for moms. To illustrate why and how to implement these steps, Dr. Cutlip shares numerous personal examples involving her son (Roy), daughter (Effie), and husband (Chad). Many of these examples are relatable and resonate with me who had experienced similar situations. One example that stood out to me is about trust, the second step. In this example, Dr. Cutlip describes her son Roy, who wanted her to take him to the potty. Despite her efforts, Roy's tone and words were demanding and impatient. Dr. Cutlip uses this example to emphasize the importance of focusing on different aspects and adjusting our perception. She highlights the need to see Roy as a worried child rather than a demanding tyrant and to regulate our own responses. One of the central concepts Dr. Cutlip persuades us to embrace is treating ourselves with the same care and understanding as we do our children. She advocates for being a good-enough mom rather than striving for perfection, as being a good-enough mom is often more effective. After reading the book, I realized the value of changing my perspective and seeking to understand children's behavior. This shift in focus has helped me significantly reduce my anxiety. One downside is that I think the book is a little long. Perhaps this is because the book is written in a way that feels like Dr. Cutlip is having a conversation with you. It sounds as though she recorded her discussions with friends about these topics and then later polished and reorganized them into a book format. While I like this conversational style, I can't help but think that the book could be condensed a bit more to cater to busy burnt-out moms who may prefer a quicker read. Any way, overall a good book for me. 4.4 start out of 5.0. Rounds to 4 stars.

Straightforward & Inspiring
Format: Hardcover
I have really enjoyed this book! Not only has it helped improve my relationship with myself, but it’s provided valuable insight to my relationships with my spouse and kids. It’s the least cringey form of a “self-help” and parenting book you can find! The QR codes to access actionable tools are *chef’s kiss*. It’s hard to put the whole book in to words, but I promise it was worth every valuable minute spent reading it!
