Publisher's summary

Working mothers constantly battle the pull to do all things well. From managing work and home responsibilities to being impacted by a lack of self-care and time for deep friendships, the struggle is real. At the end of each day, many working moms are exhausted and stretched too thin. But this does not have to be the norm.

In her latest practical and inspiring audiobook, Jessica Turner shows the working mom how to:

  • Work and parent guilt-free
  • Establish clear work boundaries
  • Set achievable goals
  • Discover more flexibility
  • Develop home-management solutions
  • Prioritize self-care
  • Invest in her marriage
  • Cultivate deeper friendships
  • Feel like a good mom, even while working

Full of compassion and encouragement, Stretched Too Thin will empower women with useful insights and tools to thrive as working moms.

first finished audiobook!

Enjoyed it for the most part. I prefer to read but rarely have time with a 2yo, so this audiobook came at the right time. I recommended for working moms. especially if you need encouragement to do more self-care and to let some things that are as important fall to the wayside. she does speak about her religion but as a non-religious person I did not feel alienated.

Finally a relevant book for working moms!

Absolutely loved this book! I feel like it really spoke to me as a working mom. So many books are geared toward stay at home moms it can get discouraging but this book was perfect for the working mom.

more encouragement for working moms

It's a good mix of examples, tips & tricks and encouragement. Even if you aren't a working mom, the content is still applicable as most moms, working or not have similar feelings of not being or doing enough. It's just a bit I've read before, hence the lower rating. Definitely best if followed up by utilizing her website.

Not as helpful as I expected

I had heard and read a lot of hype on this book from other writers I love, but I’m not the audience for this book. There were only a handful of even somewhat new ideas, and many of them were written from a very privileged position of having money and enough health to travel, etc. as well as an expectation to have the ability to work long hours and still have the energy to do additional activities.

This was the first I’ve read/listened to by this author. Perhaps I should have started with another.

great insights on life prioritization

I have enjoyed listening to this book. I believe the book did a wonderful job depicting the struggles a working mother could face some solutions to deal with the challenges. I am definitely losing the guilt of working and being a wife and mother. Good quick listen.
