      Loved this book by Jamie. Read it as I spent my vacation at my parents' home and she threw light on many aspects of why i am the way i am. Embrace yourself the way God has created you. Thankful for the practical insights and the encouragement. A must read for any introvert, mom or not.

      This was so eye opening and encouraging for me. From a person who thought I was supposed to be an extrovert and the years I drain myself trying to fit that. Now I have relief in the way God made me and there are so many of us out there!

      As an introvert - this gave me a better understanding of how I can manage my time and be the best version of myself for my family. It also helped me to realize that I don’t have to feel guilty for needing those times of rest.

      Excellent book! I have read it once and this is my first time to listen. Jamie’s voice spoke straight to my heart.

      I think this will easily be my favorite book of 2020. Jamie wrote my story, which brought me to tears more than once. Thank you for freeing me of feeling alone.

      Loved this! ???
      Highly recommend. This book reminded me that God made me an introvert, and I shouldn't push myself to fit the mold of an extrovert. I'm exactly how God intended me to be, and I shouldn't feel guilty when I need to rest from the busyness of life.

      When I stumbled across this book I was a mom for 11 months. But all that time I’ve struggled so much and I thought I had a postpartum depression and maybe that’s why I am not fully enjoying motherhood and am always stressed and overwhelmed. I couldn’t understand why something that I wanted so much is also making me miserable. I excepted that there is just something wrong with me. I went to the therapist who treated me for postpartum depression and I still felt like it’s not it.
      And then I came across this book and everything that author mentioned was exactly what I was going through. And suddenly I was not crazy, I was just an introverted mother!

      This book spoke so candidly and succinctly about what it's like to be an introverted mom and how that looks in daily life. Her words brought so much freedom to this weary mom's heart. She put in to words things I didn't even know how to describe and yet make perfect sense in how she delivers it. It's like she was writing just for me. Highly recommend for every mom; this brings hope for the introverted mama's heart and perhaps greater understanding for extroverts on how their introverted-friends operate. Excellent read!

      So many tears even by the first chapter at the ease I felt in knowing I was not alone. I felt I learned so much more about myself as well as insights into managing being introverted as a mother and wife. I will probably listen again if not buy the book itself for quick reference when the guilt kicks in, or I need a soft reminder that I am not alone. I appreciate this book and this author for sharing her truths and her living knowledge on the matter.

      I’m an introvert. I have always wondered why motherhood seemed so hard for me. I was comforted knowing that their are lots of others out there like me. I appreciated all the quotes as well. What an encouragement! Thank you ?
