For many years, my business card could have read, Glynnis Whitwer, Chronically Overwhelmed. Oh, that I had read Kathi and Cheri s book back then my family (and soul) would have thanked them! In Overwhelmed , Kathi and Cheri address the drowning cry of this generation with honesty, humility, and hope that speaks to the depth of my heart. This isn t a pull-yourself-up-by-your-bootstraps approach, but the kindest, most encouraging look, with innovative solutions, at a problem that plagues women everywhere. I loved this book!

Wow! What a practical resource! We all experience feelings of being overwhelmed but often don t know what to do about them. Kathi and Cheri provide practical wisdom to dissect the feelings, determine the causes, and help us discover new strategies and healthy habits. My stress level decreased just reading these pages!

In a culture that measures success according to crowded calendars and impossible commitments, Kathi and Cheri promise rescue. No more flailing about in the Ocean of Overwhelm. No more panic and empty promises to slow down and say no. Instead, a practical and personal plan to escape the chaos and come up for air. Hang on, my friend. Help is on the way.

If you ve picked up this book, you re probably in over your head. Take courage-Kathi and Cheri have been there. Boy, have they been there! And they have hard-won, hands-on, priceless advice on finding your way to calmer waters. The best part is: They know that everyone has a different life and show exactly how to tailor their advice to suit your personality and your own set of ongoing challenges. Don t miss this. Overwhelmed is a quick read, but an invaluable one for every woman.

Although we live in a world that views busyness as a virtue and overwhelmed as our trophy, Kathi and Cheri gently lead us with humor, personal stories, and powerful practical steps into a life of more order, peace, and space to breathe. They re the girlfriends extraordinaire who let us know we re not alone but won t let us stay on the crazy treadmill we ve been pounding. I m off to apply their awesome applications!

Warning! This book might just mess up your maxed out, emotionally overloaded life if, and only if, you take the suggestions seriously and choose to move toward the mentoring offered by Kathi and Cheri. Their help is pragmatic practical, possibly even painful at times, but always purposed. Overwhelmed is page after page of the motivation and inspiration you need to progress beyond your body-mind-and-soul stress.

I can t stop reading and rereading this book! When a woman feels overwhelmed, sometimes she just needs someone to look at her and say, do this. That s how I felt as I read the words of Kathi and Cheri, friends just telling me, here s your next step. They both normalized all my overwhelmed feelings and gave me so many practical tools to help me find my next faithful step. Every woman needs this book!

Feeling overwhelmed is more than a passing emotion. It can become a pattern, a state of mind, and a spiritually sticky place where you cannot move forward. To flourish in the freedom God promises, you need to find a way out. Kathi Lipp and Cheri Gregory s Overwhelmed is that way out. These two close friends will bring you into the fold of their friendship and share their own overwhelmed stories, help you begin to think about yours, and then walk you through what it means to be overwhelmed and how to break the cycle of staying stuck in that frustrating and hopeless place and moving to a place of living free and brave.
Susy Flory
New York Times bestselling author or coauthor of eleven books and director of West Coast Christian Writers Conference
This book isn t one person s system fit to their personality-the personality you don t have. Instead, from the very first chapter, Kathi and Cheri provide micro-steps, steps I ve begun, that are already removing the weight of overwhelmed.
