Synopsis

Close your eyes. Take a deep breath. Imagine your perfect day.
What if that perfect day was every day?You're probably doing a lot―taking care of your family, killing it at your job, volunteering, organizing, scheduling, delegating. At the end of all of that, do you have any time or energy left to take care of the most important person: you? Self-care movement leader Suzanne Falter gets it. In fact, she lived the life that every woman today feels expected to lead, chasing career goals while balancing the commitment of raising a family. But after facing an unthinkable tragedy, Suzanne transformed her identity as a stressed-out workaholic to find her way back to wholeness and balance. In The Extremely Busy Woman's Guide to Self-Care, Suzanne shares simple, bite-sized suggestions to help you ease onto the path of effective self-care in a way that feels doable rather than demanding.The road to soothing self-care is right in front of you―all you have to do is say yes to the journey and take the first step.

Goodreads review by Jacqie on August 25, 2019

This book didn't bring much to the table - the first whole half was about slowing down and saying no, which I thought didn't fit well with the way this book was marketed, since its for Busy Women. Also, the format for kindle was awful and should be fixed before publication.......more

Goodreads review by DeAnna on October 07, 2020

On becoming a less extremely busy woman. Lots of good advice. Do the worksheets. Not a lot new, but I had been losing track of taking care of myself and needed it. Recommended if you're at least somewhat used to the idea of self care, and don't hate the assumptions of you already having a comfortable......more

Goodreads review by Leah on May 23, 2020

I think a more appropriate title for this book would have been "Self-Care For Women Who Work Office Jobs." Don't get me wrong, I think there were some nuggets of useful information in this book, and I did come out of it with something. But I was extremely frustrated by the end of it and found myself......more

A good journal/workbook to start on self care. There are stories, information and journal entries from her daughter's journal - which she explains early on. The prompts, questions and quizzes have space to write your response. This one can be a great help if wanting a place to put pen to paper.......more

Goodreads review by Erica on January 15, 2023

Such a wholesome book. There are lots of chapters where you kinda already know about the self-care she talks about but it’s the little sections where she really puts it into perspective that make the book! I would recommend this book as a nice introduction into self-care......more
