Elisabeth Hasselbeck, New York Times bestselling author “In marathon running and training, ‘hitting the wall’ is when your muscles and strength give out despite your will. I had long associated this term with sports – until I hit the wall as a mom. Despite my will, I could no longer keep an intense pace, and denying myself the dignity of self-care and proper rest landed me in the hospital, and it took a surgery to find rest for my soul. That health scare, 7 years ago, shook my world in the best way as it highlighted how my well-being directly correlates to how well I can serve my family. In More Than a Mom, Kari offers wisdom and encouragement to help us avoid hitting that same wall. She fuels us with reminders that we are children of God, He cares for us, and He desires that we care for ourselves so we can care for the children and the precious family He has entrusted to us. Don’t hit the wall like I did. Instead, read this book." Crystal Paine, New York Times bestselling author, blogger, podcaster and biological/foster/adoptive mom of 6 “For the first 10 years of motherhood, I ran myself ragged. I never got enough sleep, and I was constantly exhausted, stressed, and running on fumes. Only when I hit rock bottom and crashed did I finally realize that not prioritizing my health and well-being hurt everyone. In More Than a Mom, Kari Kampakis inspires moms with practical ways to start making their emotional, physical, and spiritual health a priority. Every mom can benefit from reading this book and taking it to heart! I only wish I had it around 18 years ago when I first became a mom!” Melanie Shankle, New York Times bestselling author and speaker “More Than A Mom epitomizes everything I love about Kari Kampakis and the way she uses her voice to speak wisdom and truth that goes straight to your heart. As moms it can be so easy to lose ourselves in the daily grind, and Kari’s words are so encouraging. This book is a must-read for everyone who’s doing their best to raise strong, Godly kids in a world that is constantly trying to beat you down. Kari is refreshing, honest and real...every page of this book is like hearing from a dear friend who is assuring you it’s all going to be okay and you are up for the challenges that come with motherhood.” Sophie Hudson, bestselling author and co-host of The Big Boo Cast “Well, Kari Kampakis has done it again in More Than a Mom. With compassion, honesty, and vulnerability, Kari encourages moms to take a holistic look at their own wellness in all the ways that matter most. This book is beautifully researched and written - with relatable stories from Kari’s life as well as from other moms - and I walked away from it feeling inspired, understood, and comforted. What a timely reminder that we will ultimately best care for our families when we prioritize caring for ourselves. Reading More Than a Mom feels like spending time with a trusted friend, and I have no doubt that moms of all ages and stages will be uplifted by Kari’s words.” Jeannie Cunnion, bestselling author of Don’t Miss Out and Mom Set Free “Kari’s writing never fails to feel like a handwritten note from a close friend, which makes her latest book especially wonderful. Kari identifies the often unacknowledged or overlooked needs we have as moms, affirms the significance of us tending to our own souls as we tend to the precious souls God has entrusted to us, and shows us how to model healthy and biblical self-care to our kids. Much needed renewal awaits you in these pages!” Monica Swanson, author of Boy Mom and host of The Boy Mom Podcast “Kari’s authentic voice and practical approach have been helping moms parent better for years. Now, in More than a Mom, Kari helps us give our kids one of the things they need the very most: a healthy mom! With vulnerability, compassion, and hard-earned wisdom, Kari has created a guidebook that can benefit every mom.” Michele Borba, Ed.D, author of Thrivers: The Surprising Reasons Why Some Kids Struggle and Others Shine “I have long admired Kari and her passion for helping moms be the best version of themselves they can be. In More Than a Mom, Kari shares the lessons she’s learned through her journey in motherhood and reminds us that we all struggle. This book will keep you inspired to take care of your own soul first, in order to empower your kids. Because at the end of the day, we are all more than a mom.” Sue Scheff, author of Shame Nation: The Global Epidemic of Online Hate “Both mothers and grandmothers will be inspired by this gracious wisdom. In an age of social media that leaves us constantly questioning our mothering skills and feeling inadequate, it’s a refreshing reminder of what it means to be human as we raise and shape the next generation. More than a Mom is brilliantly written and an essential read to overcome a culture of parent-shaming and self-doubt. This book is a true gift for all moms.”
