Jess Connolly , author of You Are the Girl for the Job and Breaking Free from Body Shame

As a counselor to kids and families for almost three decades, I believe weve never walked through a season where moms feel more exhausted, more defeated, and more isolated than today. For years, I have been deeply grateful for Heather MacFadyens voice. Ive spoken with moms all over the country who have learned and laughed and grown with her through her podcast. Im so grateful that voice is now in written form. And Im so grateful for the truth that she shares in the words of her book, Don t Mom Alone . I believe this book will help you feel more known, more hopeful, freer to be honest, and certainly less alone in your courageous and transformative journey as a mom.

Whether you have a newborn or a couple dozen grown children, every mother needs to read this book. From the priceless freedom found in chapter 1, Heather gently lifts the unnecessary burdens we carry, wraps her arms around our shoulders, and reminds us that we are never alone in this journey of motherhood. With vulnerability and laugh-out-loud humor, Heather shares practical wisdom and insight to help us trade lies for truth and isolation for connection. If youve ever wondered how to find the village thats supposed to help raise your child, this book is the map that will make sure you dont mom alone.

Kat Lee , author of Hello Mornings and founder of HelloMornings.org

For as long as Ive known Heather, she has been inviting parents into community. An honest, life-giving community that is likely to involve laughter and tears, conversation and challenge, help and hope. This book is an extension of the rich community she has long created. The deeper you get into the pages of this work, the less alone you will feel and the more grace you will begin to extend to yourself. I want both of those things for every parent I spend time with in my counseling practice.

David Thomas , therapist and coauthor of bestsellers Wild Things and Are My Kids on Track?

Heathers creative energy, grace, challenges, insights, and humanness leap off every page of this journey through real-life parenting. She weaves the bigness of Gods grace and the richness of Gods truth into everything from a thirty-foot-high bathroom accident at the museum to the grief of losing her father. Through it all, she draws on the wisdom of the Bible and her many mentors (she really doesnt mom alone!) to remind us of truth that connects us to each other, to God, and to our privileged calling as parents. Two thumbs up!
