Join the Overwhelmed Mom Launch Team!

Calling all bibliophiles, overwhelmed moms, fans of smooth days, folks who can hype, and anyone craving more quiet in their lives!

Perhaps you've heard that I've written a new book. It's called Overwhelmed Mom: Quiet the Chaos, Mind What Matters, and Enjoy Your Life Again. It doesn't hit shelves until Tuesday, August 5th, but from now until then, word about it needs to spread like wildfire. So, I'm gonna need your help in fanning the flames.

Would you be willing to link internet arms with me and join my launch team? Pretty please!

What’s a launch team?

A launch team is a group of avid readers who are willing and eager to link arms on Facebook and/or email to tell the world about a soon-to-be-published title. The members of the team act as a megaphone or a giant cheer squad to build momentum for the book before it even comes out. They are the front lines. The inside circle. In this case, a launch team is a small tribe of folks who will stand in the gap for Overwhelmed Mom on my behalf.

What does a launch team do?

When joining the Overwhelmed Mom launch team, you'll be asked to do a few things in the weeks leading up to the launch. 

PRE-ORDER the book from your favorite retailer. It's currently available at Moody, Barnes & Noble, Walmart, Target; on Christian Book and Amazon; or wherever books are sold.

REQUEST to join the Overwhelmed Mom Launch Team by heading to the Facebook group. (In order to prove you're not a robot or a cyberstalker, you'll be asked to answer three questions. Please be sure to answer these so that my team and I know you're a human person who's not a weirdo.)

READ the book and tell others about it on social media, in your book club, at your church, etc.

SHARE graphics, videos, blog posts, and/or podcast interviews that my team has created on your social media accounts.

SHARE an honest review and rating of the book on a retail site like Amazon or Goodreads on or soon after August 5th, 2025.

What’s in it for you?

Quite a bit, I hope. When you join the team, you'll...

Snag a free copy of Fix It Once, Eat It Twice, a bonus eCookbook filled with twelve of my favorite make-eat-freeze meals. That way, when you feel overwhelmed by the never-ending "What's for dinner?" question, especially on harried days, you'll have a handful of no-fuss, crowd-pleasing recipes at-the-ready in your freezer to help you feed your people.

Read an early access digital copy of Overwhelmed Mom: Quiet the Chaos, Mind What Matters, and Enjoy Your Life Again before anyone else.

Join me in the private Facebook conversations dedicated to cultivating more quiet and calm in your home.

But wait. There’s more.

Join me for a live Q&A on August 5th, where we’ll discuss how to create calm in your chaos.

Gain a backstage peek at the publishing process. (If you’re one of the 80% of Americans who harbor a secret writing dream, joining a launch team allows you to dip your toe into the publishing world without drowning in it.)

Get a free copy of the book after launch to gift to a friend.

Be entered to win exclusive giveaways and fun prizes like other hot-off-the-presses books and gift certificates to online retailers. 

When can you join the team?

Right now!

I've saved you a spot. But hurry, we have a limited number of spaces on both Facebook and Instagram and will be closing the doors on July 14th, 2025!

The launch team party will officially begin on July 15th and will continue until August 6th, the day after the book releases.

Are you ready to join the fun? Let's go!

How else can you help?

Don't have the bandwidth to join the team right now? No worries. I get it. Summer is busy! You can still offer the following support:

PRAY that the book gets into the hands of those who could use it most and that it would start a rippling effect of calm during acute seasons of overwhelm.

BUY a copy of the book for yourself or for a friend. 

ENCOURAGE your local library or indie bookstore to carry Overwhelmed Mom on their shelves. Remember, librarians have monthly book budgets to spend. Most would rather purchase books that others are interested in reading than eenie-meenie-minie-mo their way through a catalog to choose something at random. 

SUGGEST that your book club or small group read Overwhelmed Mom for their next month's title.

LEAVE a positive rating or review on a book or retail site. This tells the internet bots to place the book in front of others who might appreciate or need the message.  

MARK it as a book you "want to read" on GoodReads. 

USE and follow the #overwhelmed mom hashtag on Instagram.

TELL a friend about the book. 

I’m a firm believer that God will never give me a message He wants me to write that He doesn’t also want me to live. And, boy oh boy, did I live every word of this book and then some!

It was a season of acute overwhelm, and yet, three years later, here we are. Through God’s tender care, I’m still standing. This little gem hits shelves on August 5th, providentially, the very day I said goodbye to my sister back in 2022. I can’t wait to share it with you!

August 5th is coming in 5...4...3...
