Have you ever laid awake at night and asked yourself, "Why do other moms seem to have it all together when I'm over here exhausted and overwhelmed? Will I ever figure this mom thing out and feel like I'm enough for my kids? When does the worry end?"

If you have, you're not alone. Motherhood is hard whether you are a new mom or an empty nester with 30 years of experience. All moms struggle with these big emotions, which is why Shelby and Lisa wrote this book. How Are You Feeling, Momma? (You don't need to say, "I'm fine.") is a safe space to turn to when trying to manage your biggest fears, deepest regrets, and heartfelt longings as a momma.

In this book, Shelby and Lisa give you a peek into their hearts as they share 62 authentic and candid stories from their motherhood journeys, giving you two perspectives on how they dealt with 31 momma emotions. Whether you feel anxious, afraid, confused, depressed, overwhelmed, worried, or otherwise, their reflections are full of loving encouragement and practical tools to help you process the many emotions of motherhood. In addition, the book contains over 70 scripture verses and Psalms to help you feel fully loved, fully seen, and fully heard as you cling to God's promises and apply them to your mom life. Sometimes simply knowing we aren't alone in how we feel is enough to help us do hard things.
