“Healthy doses of self-esteem, confidence, and respect are critical stones in building your path to fulfillment”
“Worrying about the future steals JOY from today”
“Of all the tasty, self-esteem-annihilating snacks you're feeding your Dragon, a lack of love for yourself is central to each and every one of them”

This book completely and totally resonated with me, as I, like the author, wore a mask for 3 decades of my life. When I became a mother, I was a perfectionist and had set myself with very high expectations. I crumbled under the pressure of having a career and kids and didn’t think I was good enough.

This book sums up everything you need, to slay the dragons that are burdening you and to come out of hiding to live your true life! She teaches you, you are not alone and you do not have to suffer anymore.

I wish I had this book when I was on my journey to freeing myself, instead of reading 30 books that got me to the same place.

Also, this book might be for moms, but I believe anyone with a perfectionism default and lack of self-esteem, would be incredibly relatable to you.

Linda' Book Obsession Reviews "Slay Like A Mother" by Katherine Wintsch, Sourcebooks, 2019 for Suzy Approved Book Tours

Katherine Wintsch, author of "Slay Like A Mother" writes an informative and witty self-help book. From the Blurb, "this empowering self-help book champions the kind of self-doubting that mother Katherine Wintsch CEO of The Mom Complex calls never enough, the kind of mother whose guilt, desperation and fear about not being or doing enough."

The "Dragon" inside you is called "Self Doubt", and that can happen from a number of reasons. The author provides the reader with exercises, examples, and information.

The author has sent out questionnaires to a tremendous amount of mothers around the world, to ask about their feelings as a mother. From the feedback, she developed a "recipe" to help mothers" slay the "Self-Doubt". Katherine Wintsch provides examples of case studies, statistics, and other professional's studies to support her findings.

This is written well and thoughtfully and easily provides information that makes life seem less overwhelming. It is especially difficult to be a mother and be successful at work. At times it seems the MOM schedule and the WORK schedule conflict, and there are ways that are mentioned that can be helpful.

There are some mental exercises that the author suggest that are written in this book. I would not write in my book, so I would copy or write them down in a notebook or on paper.

From the writing style, I can see the author doing presentations in a live setting. She has a quick wit and an easy style. I would recommend this self-help book.… (meer)
