Story
This is your wake-up call to resist the Hustle culture and embrace the slowness of Jesus. Our culture makes constant demands of us: Do more. Accomplish more. Buy more. Post more. Be more. In following these demands, we have indeed become more: More anxious. More tired. More hurt. More depressed. More frantic. What we are doing isn't working! In a society where hustle is the expectation, busyness is the norm and information is king, we have forgotten the fundamentals that make us human, anchor our lives, and provide meaning.

And we end up constantly feeling like we’re behind, lacking, and failing - at home, at work, with friends, with God.

Critic reviews
“Simple yet powerful, Alyssa has written a timely message for us women who find ourselves in a season of mundane, waiting, or hoping. Every woman needs this book!” (Jordan Lee Dooley, national best-selling author of Own Your Everyday)
“God created us for sisterhood...for family. Each of us needs a sister to talk us through the murky and the mundane to remind us of hope and of Him. Alyssa is that sister - gently inviting us into the 'more' that God has for us right in this moment. Her warm, vulnerable words made me not want to put this book down; they made me want to keep learning from this friend, this sister.” (Sara Hagerty, best-selling author of Unseen: The Gift of Being Hidden in a World that Loves to be Noticed and Adore)
“The pages of the exquisitely beautiful Satisfied are a feast for the eyes and the recipes a feast for the body, but it is the words, couched in the timeless wisdom of Scripture, that provide a transformational feast for the soul. Whether she’s writing about the blessing of laughter or the ache of her own loneliness, Alyssa invites us to step into our Heavenly Father’s embrace, knowing that he takes great delight in us and that his deepest longing is to open his hand and satisfy our desires. Buy this one in bulk because once you’ve tasted - and savored - its goodness, you’ll want to give Satisfied to all of your friends!” (Jodie Berndt, author of the best-selling Praying the Scriptures book series)

Just what my heart needed
Every chapter felt like a small pep talk my momma heart needed! It definitely has changed the way I see this season of my life. From the pile of dishes I have waiting for me, to the early morning feedings, It has changed ny perspective to not see things as a chore or another thing to get through but a reminder to enjoy the small things. God is in the everyday if we just take a breathe and look around us.

Life giving perspective
So full of the truth of God’s Word. It’s like Alyssa is just giving you the how in her life of walking out the truth of God’s word. We read the Bible and we get the idea but we might not always know how to pull it off or what it looks like in our life. This answers that. It is the daily abiding and satisfaction, contentment in Jesus. It’s just beautiful and real!

I mean, Wow.
Alyssa, I’ve been following your journey with Jeff for nearly ten years and the overflow of you knowing and believing Gods love has never ceased to impact me. This writing was absolutely authentic, joyful, a conversation with a closest friend. Your voice is a gift in and of itself, so even if the book wasn’t any good I would’ve enjoyed listening to you read. But it’s wonderful so WIN WIN WIN! 🤎🤎🤎
