Emily empathizes with listeners in the throes of exhaustion and provides tools for nourishing their spirits and achieving a life where less becomes more. Statistics don't lie. People today are more fatigued, burned out, and overwhelmed than ever. Smartphones constantly ping and alert and demand our attention.

Emily Ley, author of bestselling Grace, Not Perfection and A Simplified Life, is here to tell you that there's more-so much more.

Because we weren't made for normal. We were made for more-for a life of fullness, dreaming, and lasting joy. Interactive journaling prompts, a recipe for applesauce muffins, and inspiration to help you continue the journey are available in the audiobook companion PDF download.
