Hold On, But Don't Hold Still

Hope and Humor from My Seriously Flawed Life

De: Kristina Kuzmic

Narrado por: Kristina Kuzmic

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.

Reseñas de la Crítica

"Tenacious and refreshingly candid." (Publisher's Weekly [starred])

"A generous guide through the bumpy terrain of parenting." (Kirkus)

Truth that is so needed ❤️

I love this book! I actually rewound in several parts just to let the words I needed to hear just sink in. I have a hard time letting go of my mistakes and I love how she talked about how we are HUMAN and can’t do everything perfectly and need to let go of the guilt of just being human! She speaks right from a heart of genuine love and desire to help others going through hards times like she herself did. ❤️ absolutely recommend this book!

I will listen to this book again and again

Exactly what I have been needing to hear. Her stories and advice are so relatable and heartfelt. Loved every chapter!

5 stars!

Awesome woman. I loved and cried the whole way through. Thanks for sharing your story Kristina.

Must Read for Moms

Motherhood is amazing, exhausting, rewarding, and defeating all at once. Kristina gets that and delivers her experiences with a grace and realism that makes you feel like your best girlfriend is reading this to you.

Exactly what I needed

I am going through a possible divorce as well, which I inisiated. My son being 18 months.
To hear another person talking about the stuff I am currently going through but in a way that is non-judgemental is a breath of fresh air. The humor that came through while talking about serious topics made love this book even more. It lets me know it is okay to stand back and have a good chuckle at the horrible situation I’m in and then pull up my big girl pants and continue with what’s ahead BUT doing it without causing unnecessary hurt or harm and with my dignity intact

so good!

I needed this, all of this. so good, glad I listened to the audiobook in her voice with her inflection,etc

Great read! Came to love Kristina.

I didn’t know who Kristina was before reading this book. In the beginning I thought the book wouldn’t be that interesting or relatable because she starts talking about the opportunity she got to have her own show on Oprah. BUT, I kept listening and I’m so glad I did. Kristina talks about marriage, good times, bad times, parenting, relationships and shared her story in a light hearted, fun way. She provides real insight and useful information from her personal life without sounding like a philosophical, know-it-all. Worth the read (or listen)!

Amazing! Absolutely Amazing!

This woman and her book are both, as I said above, Amazing! I wish I could have had her story and her words when I was a single Mom, but to hear it now and to know that my daughter is only 16 years old, I went through this book and I listen to Kristina’s YouTube videos while knowing that there is still time to implement some of the things I have learned. With these tools that God has provided me in His perfect timing, I have hope that my daughter can continue to learn about the importance of being kind, even when it is hard and she doesn’t want to be from me as her Mom and I still have time for us to build on our Mommy/Daughter relationship with forgiveness when it is needed and showing her the love that I have for her no matter what we struggle through! Thank you Kristina for your story!!

Keep the faith

Really wish I had a book like this to read when I was raising my children life is tough and my children or quite older but I wouldn't wanna be raising kids now with all the stuff that goes on in this world keep up the good work and keep the face and things will always work out for the best thank you so much

Amazing!!!!

I love this book it’s so real and raw! She tells you how life is no sugar coating it! It makes you feel less alone as a parent. She did a phenomenal job on this book.
