Everyone But Myself: A Memoir

A USA TODAY Bestseller
A Washington Post Noteworthy Book
A Mom's Choice Awards Winner Funny, honest, and inspiring for readers feeling overwhelmed by life, Everyone But Myself is like a best friend's story of how she returned to solid ground while embracing chaos along the way. For Julie, an elementary school librarian and mother of two boys, there was no time for debilitating anxiety. Yet, the terrifying aftershocks of her first panic attack left her grappling with questions about the causes of her mental health crisis and where it would lead next. What follows is a hopeful, honest account of love and loss, a husband who isn't a mindreader, disastrous family outings, and finding a path (with help from loved ones and a few key new friends) to the joy of a well-lived life. Sure to resonate with mothers spread thin by the demands of modern family life, Everyone But Myself offers an intimate portrait of how one woman found her way back to herself.

This writing was relatable it made me feeling like Julie could be a friend. Taking care of all the things is hard no matter what your situation. Most moms make it look easy until it isn’t and then we have no idea how to ask for help. Going through her process of asking along side her through the pages of her book reminded me how important our own health is. No matter the season we have to acknowledge it before it becomes too much. We love our people but must remember they love us too and want moms to be their best selves. Thanks Julie!
