Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From the founder of momAgenda comes the ultimate guide to navigating the mom-life crisis, with a simple process for putting your own long-forgotten needs back on the to-do list. Nina Restieri was a wife, a mom of four young kids, and a successful entrepreneur. Despite having what most people would consider “it all,” happiness eluded her. She beat herself up daily for not being grateful. But as she looked around, she realized most of the moms she knew shared that same sense of sadness, stress, and overwhelm, all while working hard to keep up the “perfect mom” appearance. Desperate for a change and tired of crying behind a locked bathroom door, Nina embarked upon a ten-year journey that led her to unexpected places—including a pole dancing studio—for peace and solace. After digging deep and facing some painful truths, Nina emerged knowing she deserved more than she was giving herself and figured out that a mom can take care of her kids, and take care of herself. Like a permission slip for mothers to love themselves as much as they do their children, this book chronicles Nina’s journey to putting her mom-life crisis behind her—forever—and offers up a roadmap so you can too.

Book excerpt: Divine Strength of Mind tells the story of Raj Williams's life-threatening illnesses of Olympian proportions and the way they affected her life. It also touches on her life in India and America and how this background shaped her to be a strong-willed person who knows no fear and believes in the strength of prayers. She is convinced that her recovery from major illnesses would not have been possible if it had not been for her strong faith in God and her incredible network of support from her family, friends, and neighbors. Raj was first diagnosed with a brain tumor in 2003, which was mostly removed the same year. Since she was pregnant at the time of surgery, however, the tumor was not completely removed and started to grow back; she therefore had to undergo a second surgery in 2007. One week before her second surgery, Raj was diagnosed with breast cancer, for which she had cancer surgery in 2008, followed by chemotherapy and radiation the same year. Raj attributes her survival from these major illnesses to her faith in God, her mother's prayers, great doctors, and a huge support system comprising of friends and neighbors in Annapolis, Maryland. Raj believes she had the best doctors, the best of friends, and neighbors a person can have, and that it took the joint eff ort of all these individuals to heal her! "Your book is really quite something. Reading your book gives me further insight into what you went through with both your brain tumor and breast cancer. How you wove this into your entire life is fascinating" Dr. Stanley Watkins, Jr., M.D., Annapolis Oncology Center "Now that I have read your book, I can tell you this... Unbelievable! It's hard to even imagine one person going through all that you have. You are one tough cookie! It's like a movie, except that I know it all to be true. Your words can be very motivational".

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “A quirky, funny, and deeply thoughtful book”* that’s “filled with characters you’ll love and wish you lived next door to in real life”** from the author of The Bookish Life of Nina Hill. Lilian Girvan has been a single mother for three years—ever since her husband died in a car accident. One mental breakdown and some random suicidal thoughts later, she’s just starting to get the hang of this widow thing. She can now get her two girls to school, show up to work, and watch TV like a pro. The only problem is she’s becoming overwhelmed with being underwhelmed. At least her textbook illustrating job has some perks—like actually being called upon to draw whale genitalia. Oh, and there’s that vegetable-gardening class her boss signed her up for. Apparently, being the chosen illustrator for a series of boutique vegetable guides means getting your hands dirty, literally. Wallowing around in compost on a Saturday morning can’t be much worse than wallowing around in pajamas and self-pity. After recruiting her kids and insanely supportive sister to join her, Lilian shows up at the Los Angeles botanical garden feeling out of her element. But what she’ll soon discover—with the help of a patient instructor and a quirky group of gardeners—is that into every life a little sun must shine, whether you want it to or not...
