Based on her own experiences and those around here, there is something very familiar that many will be able to connect with saying "I feel like that too!" This book felt like solid advice I would be searching for from my mom, close friend, or even a therapist.
The pacing is just right, it is very concise which is amazing because let be honest, if you are working full-time and a mom, who has time to read a book. The book has reflection or journal exercise so it's not about her telling you what to do, but guiding you to what you want to do and the tools to get there.
The best part of this book it gives permission to decided for yourself what you want. It's not about "having it all" it's about having what you want and what is important to you. I also loved how she broke the mold of taking what we thought we always wanted, and being okay to change our minds. And if we change our minds and want to go back to work, that's ok too!
In her groundbreaking book Pivot, Kim explores themes of self-reflection, self-discovery, and the courage to act on your heart's deepest desires.
In this beautiful and poignant story, Kim not only shares her personal experience but also provides a helpful framework for women (and men!) who are contemplating important questions like "Who am I as a parent?", "Who do I want to be as a parent?", and "Can I really have it all?"
Kim's writing style is engaging and relatable and I was deeply moved by her ability to put her feelings into words in a way that caused me to reflect on my own desires for motherhood.
