I love reading books that written by moms. It’s so nice to know that I am not alone in how I feel, like those pesky mommy insecurities. Slay Like A Mother By Katherine Wintsch is so much more than just another mommy written book. Keep reading to see what I thought about it.
Slay Like A Mother: How to Destroy What’s Holding You Back So You can Live the Life You Want ~ Book Review
I must admit that there are days when I question myself as a mom, wife, daughter, sister, friend, etc. There have been times where I have compared myself to other moms I know. I try as best as I can to be the “perfect mom”. But honestly is there really a mom who is truly perfect?
I smile whenever my friends tell me how flawlessly I am always in control. I can see how they would think that. My boys are always on time to school. All three of them have music lessons after school and one of them also participates in sports. We hold a Bible study group once a week in our home, I have weekly doctor appointments, and I also take online classes. Plus the time I dedicate to keeping this blog rolling along.
I may appear to have everything in control, but inside I suffer from both depression and anxiety. Daily I fight against the feelings not being enough. I always criticize myself whenever I miss something on my to-do list, and stress myself out. If you’re anything like me then this is a book you’re going to want to read.
Reading Slay Like A Mother I realized that I am not alone in how I think or feel. That many women struggle through the same issues I do. Most importantly I learned that I need to be kinder to myself, and not to stress myself over things that are out of my control. I also need to learn to give myself more “me time”.
The author had me crying and laughing. I liked that I could relate to the stories that are shared, and the exercises throughout the book. But what I liked the most was how the author made it seem like she was helping me along during these exercises. Slay Like A Mother is a definite must read!

• Adjusting your sky-high expectations.

• Recognizing that motherhood is a struggle, but that suffering is optional.
• Changing the narrative of that negative voice inside your head.
• Breaking the habit of comparing yourself to other moms.
