Jamie. You have completely wrecked me. I just finished your book Introverted Mom, and I’m sitting here crying. AGAIN. I have lost track of how many times you made me cry. I need the Introverted Moms Manifesto on my wall where I can read it every. single. hour.
I have been in such a dark place for such a very long time. And you have breathed life and hope into me again in a way therapy and counseling never have, and no amount of self help books have, and… sometimes even reading my Bible has not helped, because all I seem to be able to hear some days is the voices of people who expect me to be something I’m not. And even God’s voice seems to take on their words/interpretation, and I feel hurt and confused and…….defective. So SO defective.
THANK YOU for writing this book. For listening to God’s prompting. For speaking life and hope into other moms.
Yes, I read as much as most introverts do. But just so you know… your book is now among my top favorites of all time. Definitely the best book on motherhood. You have helped me realize a number of ways I am allowing other people’s opinions to control me and the way I am “performing” as a wife and mother and… person. You have given me practical and realistic tools to use in a crazy busy chaotic season of life with littles to help me stay sane, and to help me be a better (more relaxed and happy) mother.
I just might end up being okay, after all.
5/5 stars
