  Do you feel like you're doing it all for everyone—all the time? This book offers mindful self-awareness practices to help you prioritize self-care, soothe stress, and create a life of joy, fulfillment, and well-being.In The Black Woman's Guide to Coping with Stress, Black psychologist and registered nurse Cheryl Woods Giscombe introduces the innovative, research-based superwoman schema (SWS) framework—five core beliefs that drive Black women's stress—and provides self-care practices grounded in mindfulness and self-compassion to help you live a life of joy and greater well-being.In this empowering guide, you'll identify the core beliefs that may be contributing to your experience of stress—that you must always be strong, hide your emotions, resist vulnerability, succeed even in the face of inadequate resources, and always help others while neglecting self-care. You'll learn how these beliefs can lead to burnout and a feeling of imbalance in your life. And finally, you'll discover how to harness the strengths within these beliefs, so they no longer cause you harm. There's nothing wrong with being strong—but sometimes it's essential to "take off your superwoman cape," recharge, and prioritize self-care. You are worth it. This book will help you gain the self-awareness you need to stay balanced and live your very best life.

  Journey through your Life’s Complete Financial Arc with Wealth Your Way. Accumulate wealth, achieve the pinnacle of financial independence, and then comfortably spend your wealth as you retire on your own terms. Financial independence buys you the most valuable asset on the planet—freedom. The freedom to spend your money, and more importantly, your time, however you see fit.Still, reaching financial freedom requires more than mere investing. Unlike other books that try to tell you what to think, Wealth Your Way teaches you how to think about growing your wealth, with real-life examples of the pitfalls you might encounter along with strategies to avoid them.This book is dedicated to helping you level set your core understanding of financial independence and develop default behaviors that are well-suited to help you plan for and achieve your financial goals while living and enjoying your best life now.  There is no one-size-fits-all plan for that, but there is a strategy to create a purpose-built, goals-driven plan tailored to you.  You may be a Gen Z coming of age, or a millennial with oppressive student debt, or a boomer playing catch-up, but for all of us financial planning boils down to this simple mantra: think about what to do, go do it, then do as little as possible after that! As with most things in life, the more carefully you plan for financial independence, the less you’ll need to worry about the outcome. Live your best life today, with the satisfaction and comfort of knowing your financial future is in good hands—your own. PCR: Plan, Course-Correct, Repeat.

  "If-" is a timeless classic, a masterpiece about keeping your balance in a topsy-turvy world and maintaining personal integrity. A phenomenal poem by English Nobel laureate Rudyard Kipling (1865-1936), written circa 1895 as a tribute to Leander Starr Jameson, it is a literary example of Victorian-era stoicism. Among other nuggets, it advocates the idea of not allowing your successes to go to your head or allowing your failures to go to your heart. A great stabilizer for everyone. It contains truly sage advice needed now more than ever! The poem is written in the form of paternal advice to the poet's son, John. A succinct yet tremendously potent body of work. A must-have for every library.

  'Clever, wise and achingly funny.' Cathy Kelly ‘You can have it all,’ they said. ‘Happy children, happy marriage, great career – no problem,’ they said…  
  For fans of Motherland! 
  Mother-of-one Saoirse is just about holding it all together – combining part time work with the school run, while her husband David gets to focus on his career. But when David loses his job, everything has to change. 
  With no hesitation, Saoirse suggests she takes on the role of main breadwinner. After all, how hard can it be? And when a new client offers her a life-changing sum of money, Saoirse can look the other over-achieving Woodvale school-run mums in the eye with pride. 
  But there’s a problem with keeping too many balls in the air – eventually one is bound to drop. And when that happens – well, who knows what the consequences could be… 
  Laugh-out-loud funny, achingly relatable, but with a heart of gold, and warmth running through every page. This is the perfect read for anyone who has way too many balls in the air! The novel may or may not have been inspired by real life…  
  Praise for Emma Murray: 
  'If you've ever despaired of the school WhatsApp group, torn your hair out over what to cook for the kids' dinner, again, and wonder why your beloved still believes in the Laundry Fairy, The Juggle is for you. Emma Murray's clever, wise and achingly funny novel about life as a modern mum will make you grin with recognition - and not feel alone. It's not just you, then! There are lots of novels about Having It All but The Juggle combines wisdom, humour and utter warmth as Emma Murray's central character, Saoirse, does her best to keep all the balls in the air.... And guess what, she drops some.' Cathy Kelly'Emma Murray’s writing is so deft: rib ticklingly funny and also heartbreakingly poignant at times that the reader is swept along with Saoirse and her cast of supporting characters as they navigate their increasingly hectic lives. I finished The Juggle immediately wanting more.' Fay Keenan 
  'Emma tells it how it is with real honesty, and it made me laugh out loud.' Janet Hoggarth  
  'Witty, fun, beautifully-written. Very highly recommended. Excited to see what comes next from Emma Murray.' Jessica Redland 
  Readers loved Emma’s first book Time Out: 
  ‘Compelling, Uplifting and so very relatable. The characters are superbly written, and I really hope we get to read more from Saoirse.’‘I really related to the Saoirse, the main character in this book. I loved her humour, her insecurities, her strengths, her flaws and of course most importantly how she formed a fantastic friendship over a morning bottle of Prosecco.’‘Emma Murray has written a 5-star 'how-to' book on being part of the village ... 'it takes a village to raise a child' but it also takes that village to raise up a mom!’‘A fabulous read that had me hooked and also made me feel glad that my children were born prior to the arrival of Facebook and social media. But a refreshing read and one I would definitely recommend.’
