More Than a Mom

How Prioritizing Your Wellness Helps You (and Your Family) Thrive

By: Kari Kampakis

Narrated by: Kari Kampakis

Read by the author. What if taking care of yourself was the first step to helping your family thrive?

If you’ve parented long enough, then you’ve learned firsthand why your personal wellness matters. You’ve felt the pain (or consequences) of devaluing yourself. Whether your wake-up call came from a diagnosis, a breakdown, an issue with your child or spouse, anxiety, or simply feeling depleted and numb, it most likely unveiled this truth:

Mothers are humans too. We require love, compassion, rest, and renewal. Taking care of our needs strengthens us and equips us for the road ahead.

In More Than a Mom, bestselling author Kari Kampakis offers a practical, approachable, and attainable framework to stay on a healthy path. You can take your kids only as far as you’ve come–and since their strength builds on your strength, you must take time to focus on you. More Than a Mom is about unleashing God’s power in your life and standing on timeless truths that will help you

• know your worth and embrace your purpose,
• build strong, uplifting friendships that you can model for your children,
• quit the negative self-talk and make peace with your body, and
• learn to mother yourself by resting and setting boundaries.

The world shaping your children is more callous and complex than the world that shaped you. Kids need to be stronger, smarter, and more rooted in what’s real. Empower your son or daughter by tending to your heart, soul, body, and mind. Give them a vision of a healthy adult–and know that as they launch into the real world, they will build on what you started.

The hug my mom heart needed

This is a beautiful guide to mothers who are turning to God. Every chapter spoke to me deeply.
This is a book I will revisit in many seasons of motherhood. Highly recommend

Love and compassion for Mamas

I read this book as part of a book club, with many young moms, called Mastering Motherhood. It was so helpful and refreshing for so many of the moms struggling to find time for themselves. Self care is so important. Something I did not appreciate when I was a young mom.

uplifting

I needed this book, as I embark on seeing my firstborn through puberty. Thank You Kari!

Chock full of wisdom

I am devouring all of Kari’s books. Admittedly, I was going to save this one for later thinking I needed to concentrate on my daughter first. Ironically, I was so wrong. This bill is steeped in scripture and advice. I cannot recommend it enough!

Excellent book!

Loved the book! Very insightful and intriguing to continue to keep reading! Highly recommend all moms to read!
