About this listen

Delivering inspiration and "parenting comedy at its finest" (The Huffington Post), here is one woman's story of ditching her fairy-tale dreams and falling in love with her unpredictable, chaotic, imperfect life.

Kristina Kuzmic has made herself a household name, speaking directly to mothers from the trenches of parenthood via her viral videos and social media presence. She is now bringing her message of self-acceptance, resilience, and joy to audiobook listeners. With a refreshingly unpretentious, funny, and galvanizing voice, Kuzmic goes behind the scenes to reveal how she went from broke and defeated to unshakably grounded and brimming with thankfulness.

Illuminating the hard-won wisdom from a life always spent one step behind - whether it was as a high school student new to America, a suddenly single mother to two kids, remarried and juggling two teens and a toddler, or the unexpected recipient of Oprah's attention and investment - Hold On, But Don't Hold Still is the audiobook every mother needs to reassure her that she's not only fine just as she is, but that she already has more tools and support than she can possibly imagine. Sparkling with wit, this heartfelt memoir is like a long coffee date with a best friend, or the 11th-hour text message that gives you just the boost you need to get through the night.

A must read

I was hooked from beginning to end. The first chapter was so good I didn’t think there was a way to top it. But the title of chapter two is “hot dogs with Oprah” so I knew it was only going to get better. So many good life lessons and many that I’ll take with me when we become parents one day. Thank you Kristina for sharing your struggles and your triumphs!

Licensed counselor endorsed!!!

As an LPC, I fully recommend this book as a MUST READ for divorced parents learning to co-parent. I wish I didn’t hear the sad, difficult, confusing tormenting stories of kids caught in between their parents after divorce. But I do. THANK YOU FOR WRITING YOUR STORY!!!

Every mom needs this book!

I laughed, I cried, I cried more. Kristina is so relatable and truly helped remind me that this parenting thing isn’t as easy as we all make it look in social media.
