This book has its own voice, genuine and authentic.

Gwenna used a brutally honest, genuine and authentic way to write this book. I've been looking at ways to break the generational trauma I have and am continuing to pass onto my kids. This book gave me realistic ideas relayed in a perfect sarcastic way that wasn't preachy or perfect. This book is just chefs kiss 😘. I will be rereading this for many years to come.

👍

I follow Gwena on socials and it was good to see the bigger picture of how she functions in the world with her kids

Amazing Book!

I listened to the audio book rather than read the book and she did an amazing job at reading it like she was telling a story rather than reading from text. I had a lot of lightbulb moments while listening to the book and found myself nodding my head to so much of her tips and and parenting ideas. I truly loved this book and feel like I'm able to take a lot of it and apply it to my own parenting. Because even though I have 4 kids, most of the time I still don't feel like I know what I'm doing. Amazing job Gwenna! Stellar book!

Fantastic!!

I’m not even a parent yet, we’re actively trying though and this book was phenomenal! It was funny and times, very informative and really relatable! One of my most anticipated reads of 2024 and it did not disappoint!

An amusing tool for re-parenting yourself

I could be here for hours writing the list of what I did like. It’s humorous, an easy listen, and super gentle and considerate in the delivery. Maybe above all else though, Gwenna is candid, generous, and kind. I am one of her YouTube fans, but I listened to this book in hopes of gaining resources to “re-parent” myself. As a child who grew up in a hostile home due to emotionally and somewhat mentally incapacitated parents, this book brought me a lot of emotional comfort and hope.

Relatable, Honest, and Realistic

the beginning of this book made me CRY! she acknowledges that the average parent is trying and is constantly worried about doing enough. this book was super informative and made me feel like I was talking to another mom about my own kids! I 10000% recommend this book to any young moms (had my first at 21, am now 25), or especially any moms trying to break cycles in their parenting strategies.

This. is. The. Book.

Since I had my kid, I’ve had a craving that I couldn’t communicate clearly enough to pin point the right resource.
I was looking for a clear, relevant, and logical dive into parenting that was applicable to my daily life and would benefit my kid.
This is the book. I have an analogy for you. Everyone knows by now the pictures and stuff stuff We find on the internet are edited, filtered, or are 1/500 pictures someone took to post. The knowledge, topics, elaborations, summaries, and relatable life stories in this book are like a view on parenting without a filter.

….and may I have another?
Thank you.
Read the book.

Exactly what I needed to hear.

Gwenna was delightful and funny. I truly enjoy her insights on parenting and parenthood. I’m thankful she decided to put all of experience, methods, and insights down into a book so that’s the rest of us mom’s trying to navigate this shit show of parenthood had someone to relate to. It’s not easy getting our little “crotch goblins” to grow into regulated and happy adult humans.

I would read any book she puts out.

Authenticity

I love how honest Gwenna is! she is so real and honest. this book has helped me so much. as a parent

Peanut Butter and Jelly

Despite that the author does not make a PB&J the correct way (no judgment, PB on both sides of the bread jelly in the middle, just saying) and may end up starting an internet war as a result, this is a fabulous and totally relatable resource. I can’t tell you how many nuggets of gold I carried away to help me in the throws of temper tantrums or how many times I found myself nodding along and chatting with the author every step of the way. I know I am better for it. You won’t regret picking this book up at any point during your parenting journey.
