This One's for the Working Mama

Book excerpt: Being a working mom in the climate of today’s world is the most difficult job description we will ever tackle. Society tells you that you should work harder, chase faster, achieve more, not worry about sacrifices made along the way and just be more. The world feeds you lies that if you do all of these things, you can have it all. If you’ve ever come up short, you are left with guilt and shame that you must have done something wrong. Further, perhaps in your community, the belief is that women shouldn’t work outside the home and you live with guilt over this decision to go against the normal. You and I need a space where we can be unapologetically grounded in our decision to be a working mama. We need encouragement to be uplifted in the trying days, and something to cling to as we curl up on our closet floor, tears flowing and releasing the stress of a million things on our shoulders. This book is the companion you can take with you on your journey to joy and freedom. Through its pages, you can lean into the grace and affirmation found in the Bible to write your own job description and start living with your soul on fire.
