Story
This is a book for working women and mothers who are ready to release the culturally inherited belief that their worth is equal to their productivity, and instead create a personal and professional life that's based on presence, meaning, and joy. As opposed to focusing on "fitting it all in", time management, and leaning in, as so many books geared at ambitious women do, this book embraces the notion that through doing less women can have - and be - more.

Parenting advice isn't hard to find. There are thousands of books on the subject, as well as a multitude of websites. Much has also been written on the science of child development. What's been lacking, however, are sources of reliable advice that bring together the scientific research and its real-world applications.

This book is excellent and worth reading. The author brings us on her own journey through good times and hard times and teaches us how to find joy even in life’s most difficult moments. She inspires her readers to seek out and look for the joy filled moments in everything even in her horrible loss of her child to SMA. I loved listening to the author read her own story as it made me feel as if I was a friend coming along side of her as she reads it with so much emotion and heart.

Struggling to the end
I feel the same as the many reviews I read... at the exception of the chapters on her devastating loss of her son, I just didn't like this book. The 3 stars are out of respect for her tragedy losing her son and the depth of her grief, which she explains very well, it's gut wrenching and pretty hard to keep a dry eye listening to it. I can relate completely since I have been through a similar experience with my first child (not the same condition).
Apart from these chapters, she comes across as a shallow spoil brat at times. I found her analogy to choose Holt Renfrew versus Value Village insulting especially in the context she introduced it (don't want to give too much details so I don't ruin her stories). The fact that she refers to her friend, then boyfriend then husband as "Hot Ronnie" throughout the book drove me nuts, especially in the chapter describing the death of her son. That she calls him "Hot Ronnie" at the beginning when she first met him, okay, but not to the end!
Then there is the religion... I am a spiritual person but not religious so hearing in almost every paragraph her devotion to God was, in my opinion, a bit much.
Then she refers a lot to Rachel Hollis, that "save her marriage", well their very expensive marriage weekend retreat didn't work on them since she and her husband divorced in 2020.
Anyway, I have a lot more to say but will leave it at that.

Jessica inspired you to want to keep listening and see what happened next. This story created so many emotions from sadness to laughter to crying to positivity.
