About this listen

Hope for every mom who needs an escape - not from motherhood, but from the things stealing your joy

Motherhood often looks like bottomless piles of laundry; a sink full of dishes; sleepless nights; and unshowered, nonstop, endless days. If that's all there is, then no wonder "Grumpy Mom" sometimes sneaks into your heart and home.

If you can relate, you're in good company - Valerie Woerner gets it and has experienced Grumpy Mom more often than she'd care to admit. In Grumpy Mom Takes a Holiday, Valerie shares what she's learned so far about sending Grumpy Mom packing and embracing a joyful, intentional motherhood that is so much better than you thought possible.

As you journey with Valerie, you'll be inspired and equipped to find energy in the most unlikely places, pursue your own dreams, be set free from mom guilt, feel content despite unfinished to-do lists, spend purposeful time with God amid the daily chaos, and discover more joyous moments of motherhood.

So take a holiday from Grumpy Mom, and enjoy life as the mom God made you to be.

Not quite right for me

I still have 3 hours to go but I don’t think I’ll finish. Author should have read the book herself. She’s in her 30’s and the narrator sounds like a bored 50 year old.
I’m past the diaper stage, but diapers are mentioned SO much that I felt the book just didn’t relate to me and my kids are only 8&10.
Disappointing.

Helped me with my postpartum depression

This book is definitely written by a feeling personality type for feeling personality types, but it still helped me with my postpartum depression. Wisdom in handing one’s circumstances with gratitude and grace. Simpler, more obvious advice at the start but has much richer insights towards the end :)
