As a mom, I often feel like I am carrying a heavy backpack that no one else can see. This book feels personal that understands that silent struggle.
The author, Vishah Tanka, is a busy professional and a mother herself. She completely gets how we can manage big budgets at work but still feel totally overwhelmed by chores at home. Her personal story made me feel less alone and less guilty about feeling tired. The book is a simple twenty four day guide. Each daily part takes less than fifteen minutes, which fits perfectly into a hectic routine. The book uses a neat system called the CARE MR framework. It teaches how to ask for help without feeling bad and how to reclaim your own identity. It is not about doing more things, but about letting go of the extra weight. If you are a tired parent, you can buy and read this book. It just helps you become a much lighter version of yourself.
