Synopsis

This book is about the reality of raising kids, entrepreneurship, and the value of a sense of humor, grace, and resilience.

The author walks us through her family's experiences and shares the lessons learned along the way: from successful endeavors to small business failures, moving across the country and building a new life shortly after losing nearly everything, embracing the bumpy ride that is entrepreneurialism with kids while tackling the pressures of social media, screen time and teenage angst, facing fears and trying new things, while usually coloring outside of the lines. Instead of sitting in bitterness when things don't go as planned, they find the blessing in every experience and move on.

Stacy shares many colorful adventures with valuable, yet messy lessons learned along the way with a raw, honest and humorous perspective.

'Making It Work,' will provide connection for entrepreneurs, families, and anyone looking for a little affirmation that we're all really just winging it, and there is power in sharing our stories and life experiences with one another.

Topics will include volunteerism, education, building family businesses, sitting with insecurities, facing fears, accepting failures and moving forward, and always leading with love and kindness.

“Life’s Little Instruction Book” by H. Jackson Brown, Jr. Published by Rutledge Hill Press (1991) - Jack Brown created a list of fatherly advice for his college-bound son. The lessons in this book have been shared with millions of readers over the years. ‘Making It Work’, is different because it shares stories and memories from a mother’s perspective of lessons learned in more recent times.
“The Girlfriends’ Guide to Pregnancy: Or everything your doctor won’t tell you” by Vicki Iovine. Published by Pocket (1995) - This book is a practical and witty guide to surviving pregnancy. ‘Making It Work’ is written in a similar tone (vulnerable, funny and honest), with a different focus. ‘Making It Work’ shares personal stories and experiences from a mother’s perspective as she learns to let go of her college-bound children.

Audience

The book is intended for various audiences: parents looking for a realistic perspective on work/life balance and collaborating with teenagers, entrepreneurs seeking a down-to-earth view of what it's like to run a business, and anyone desiring a little affirmation to live differently.
