Early praise for Life on the Other Side, Parenting Teens and Beyond
(AVAILABLE TO PURCHASE THIS FALL!)
“Sometimes an author has the capacity to read a mom’s heart and sense exactly what she needs. In the case of parenting teens, Kimberly Yavorski is that astute, insightful author coming to our rescue. From family stories that sound awfully familiar (as if she read our journals) to bright, simple advice that’s easy to digest/ apply (and find success at) you’ll be grateful to have this soothing balm to access at all times of the day and night. It’s a bible for parents of teens, and I have no doubt it will become your go-to source for sanity and survival. Yavorski found the secret sauce and she’s willing to share it. Like a weighted blanket on our hardest parenting days, this book is the blessing you’ve been waiting for.”
-Lisa Leshaw, author and mental health therapist
“When raising teenagers, we all need a friend who has been in the trenches, survived, and will share all the knowledge they learned along the way. In Life on the Other Side, Parenting Teens and Beyond, Kim is that person for parents of adolescents. In a relatable, honest, straight-talking way, she guides parents through this challenging time so we can have stronger relationships with our teens and young adult children. If you are feeling lost, lonely, or overwhelmed, as we often do as parents, this book will help.”
-Whitney Fleming, author and owner, ParentingTeensAndTweens.com
“Reading Kimberly Yavorski’s book is the next-best thing to having an in-depth conversation with an empathetic, experienced parent who’s parented four teens and distilled her experience into practical guidance. Filled with anecdotes, realistic action steps and suggestions for further reading, Life on the Other Side is a welcome and reassuring resource to help parents navigate the whitewater years of parenting teenagers.”
-Lisa L. Lewis, author, The Sleep-Deprived Teen
“Kimberly Yavorski understands that parenting doesn’t end when our kids grow up. It simply asks something different of us. Life on the Other Side is a warm, honest, and deeply practical guide to letting go, staying connected, and becoming the kind of parent our teens and adult children still want beside them.”
-Esther Joy Goetz, founder of Moms of Bigs, author and motherhood coach
“With her trademark candor, insight, and experience-born wisdom, Kimberly Yavorski reassures parents of teens and young adults that the other side is a place worth getting to. Her thoughtful, practical book is full of hope and encouragement for what comes next.”
-Elizabeth Spencer, author and founder of Guilty Chocoholic Mama
“As a mom of young adults who has dedicated significant time to thinking and writing about mothering in the teen years and beyond, I still found fresh perspectives and invaluable insight on the pages of Life on the Other Side, Parenting Teens and Beyond. Kim shares with honesty and vulnerability from her own experiences and from extensive research she’s compiled, and this helps us to understand, navigate and embrace these years with our teens and young adults, and beyond.”
-Sydnei Kaplan, founder of Mom in the Moment and author of The Heaven Phone
