So she went along with what Mom called “calorie restriction." She endured extensive at-home makeovers while Mom chided, “Your eyelashes are invisible, okay? You think Dakota Fanning doesn’t tint hers?” She was even showered by Mom until age sixteen while sharing her diaries, email, and all her income. In I’m Glad My Mom Died, Jennette recounts all this in unflinching detail.

If you’re struggling to stay on top of your to-do list, you probably have a good reason: anxiety, fatigue, depression, ADHD, or lack of support. For therapist KC Davis, the birth of her second child triggered a stress-mess cycle. The more behind she felt, the less motivated she was to start. She didn’t fold a single piece of laundry for seven months. One life-changing realization restored her sanity—and the functionality of her home: You don’t work for your home; your home works for you.

When Kristina Kuzmic started to see signs that her otherwise sunny, resilient teenage son was struggling, she felt sure that a few simple fixes would right the ship. Over the following months, the issues her family faced were more nuanced, complicated, and pervasive than she could've predicted. Not only that, the obligations, ideas, and unrealistic standards she'd unintentionally aborbed from parenting culture and social media made it impossible to ask for help, or even put into action the tools she'd been sure she'd deploy in a crisis.

Talking about death and dying is considered taboo in polite company, and even in the medical field. Our ideas about dying are confusing at best: Will our memories flash before our eyes? Regrets consume our thoughts? Does a bright light appear at the end of a tunnel? For most people, it will be a slower process, one eased with preparedness, good humor, and a bit of faith. At the forefront of changing attitudes around palliative care is hospice nurse Hadley Vlahos, who shows that end-of-life care can teach us just as much about how to live as it does about how we die.

Of course you think you’re doing a shitty job. Every parent does. It’s pretty much a byproduct of our society, with its incessant demands coupled with the in-your-face competitiveness parents see on social media. Unfortunately, the pandemic only made things worse, as parents juggled the stresses of helping their kids navigate online schooling while they also had to work from home. All of which makes Carla Naumburg’s new book utterly necessary. Naumburg delivers her message right up front, and she does it with her singular understanding, relatably funny voice, and keen insights.

Lucas knows the perfect night entails just three things: video games, wine, and pad thai. Peanuts are a must! Other people? Not so much. Why complicate things when he’s happy alone? Then one day the apartment board, a vexing trio of authority, rings his doorbell. And Lucas’s solitude takes a startling hike. They demand to see his frying pan. Someone left one next to the recycling room overnight, and instead of removing the errant object, as Lucas suggests, they insist on finding the guilty party. But their plan backfires. Colossally.

Traumatized by the bombing of Dresden at the time he had been imprisoned, Pilgrim drifts through all events and history, sometimes deeply implicated, sometimes a witness. He is surrounded by Vonnegut's usual large cast of continuing characters (notably here the hack science fiction writer Kilgore Trout and the alien Tralfamadorians, who oversee his life and remind him constantly that there is no causation, no order, no motive to existence).

Story
Alice's journey begins as all good journeys do: hitting on the sales guy at REI. After a tumultuous breakup, a quick career transition, family upheaval, and a sobriety journey that didn't fix her life quite as much as she expected it to, Alice decides that the only way to solve all her problems is to hike the Pacific Crest Trail. But as she begins preparing for the months-long quest, she realizes the answers she's seeking might not be on top of a snow-covered mountain. Especially since she just learned there was snow in California.

Of course you think you’re doing a shitty job. Every parent does. It’s pretty much a byproduct of our society, with its incessant demands coupled with the in-your-face competitiveness parents see on social media. Unfortunately, the pandemic only made things worse, as parents juggled the stresses of helping their kids navigate online schooling while they also had to work from home. All of which makes Carla Naumburg’s new book utterly necessary. Naumburg delivers her message right up front, and she does it with her singular understanding, relatably funny voice, and keen insights.

You need to understand your triggers and heal yourself. Only then you can begin to heal your relationship with your children.

Relatable and true to who the author presents herself to be...
My husband and I do not currently have children of our own, but we are involved in the lives of our nieces and nephews. I have followed Gwenna on social media for years and was long awaiting this book release to help me to heal from my own reactive states due to being raised by reactive and often abusive parents.
This book has brought another piece of healing into my "parenting" style as well as broken down many ways to regulate both myself as well as the children who I am a part of influencing their growth into fully formed human beings. I will always be grateful for all the forms of media that "MommaCusses" chooses to put out to help people like me, but this one is probably the most influencial one yet for me in particular.
Healing and choosing to be responsive/gentle to children rather than reactive when that is all that has ever been modelled within my presence is one of the hardest things I have ever chosen to do. I am so greatly appreciative that this book has come out before I have "my first pancake" to help me learn prior to passing those same traumas onto my own children.
I very highly recommend this for anyone interested in healing their own reactive states, and becoming more responsive towards others in your life, even if you never plan to have children, but especially if you are in an influencial role (ie. parent, aunt, uncle, grandparent, ECT.) within a child's life and have no good role models to look back on for reference.
Gwenna herself has said many times, even in the first few chapters of this book, that it is never going to be too late to change your parenting style and heal from the hurt, it takes time and effort but is so worth doing. This is one small step in the right direction of bettering the influence you are within a child's life-but so worth the time and effort it takes to read and apply any and all concepts to your life as necessary and beneficial for your own family.
Thank you, Gwenna, for a wonderful book filled with relatable anecdotal references to the struggles of being reactive and raised by a reactive parent. This is a book I am going to read multiple times over, and annotate thoroughly as I break-down all of my own personal experiences and how to best apply each of the learned concepts throughout this novel.

There’s really nothing I dislike about this book. Please be aware she cusses, hints her name. It’s not a lot but she does drop the “$4 words” and I would roll my eyes so hard if I read a comment that said something to the effect of “didn’t like because she swears” or “too much cussing, so unnecessary”. 🙄If you’re faint of heart and would fall over at the sound of the F word, don’t read it. Leave it for the rest of us trying to support a real mom

not only does she give you outstanding, useful information you can literally start using right away, but she hands it to you on a silver platter of witty, charming, relatable, HILARIOUS experiences. absolutely impressed. I've read quite a few parenting books trying to get a hankering on this so called parenting lifestyle I'm trying to figure out still and not knowing how to explain what I'm trying for (my oldest is 21 and youngest 6) and this book hit the nail right on the head for every single aspect I was searching for. I can not thank you enough for writing this. and I'm so happy I found it! I will be listening to it a few times over!

Excellent
If you like Gwenna’s videos or her podcast this will fall just in line with that. She reads the book herself which is really nice to get the information from a familiar source. There have been other parenting books that I have tried to read and stopped because it was just causing more anxiety this book feels for me was a much more approachable book with suggestions and explanations of concepts. I expect that I will probably listen to this a couple times if nothing else for when I need it drilled into my head that I am a good parent. I would recommend this book to any parent.

Peanut Butter and Jelly
Despite that the author does not make a PB&J the correct way (no judgment, PB on both sides of the bread jelly in the middle, just saying) and may end up starting an internet war as a result, this is a fabulous and totally relatable resource. I can’t tell you how many nuggets of gold I carried away to help me in the throws of temper tantrums or how many times I found myself nodding along and chatting with the author every step of the way. I know I am better for it. You won’t regret picking this book up at any point during your parenting journey.

Never read a Parenting book
Okayy so I haven’t ever read a parenting book but I always felt like there was a better way to parent my littles I have 4 and I want to be there confident at the end of the day, and never since I have followed Gwenna in 2021. I have learned from her, and when I found out she was writing a book I knew I had to get it and she did not disappoint she helped me get the confidence to know that I am doing a good job. Thank you Gwenna❤️
