Book Overview
You remember the appointments. Keep the family moving. Handle the work emergencies. Notice what everyone else needs before they have to ask.
And when someone asks how you are doing, you say, "I'm fine."
But fine has started to cost you.
Behind the competence, the full calendar, and the life you worked hard to build, you are exhausted. You love your family, but you miss yourself. You want to be more present, patient, joyful, and connected, yet you are running on pressure, guilt, and a mental load that never seems to shut off.
Done With Fine is for the mother who looks capable on the outside but knows she cannot keep living on empty.
Licensed professional counselor, veteran school counselor, author, and mother Keisha Gaddis, LPC, draws from more than fifteen years of listening to children, supporting families, and confronting her own patterns of perfectionism, people-pleasing, emotional masking, and overfunctioning.
Through relatable stories, practical counseling insights, and the DONE Method, this book will help you:
Recognize the difference between functioning and truly feeling wellUnderstand what your exhaustion, irritability, resentment, and brain fog may be trying to tell youStop hiding behind "fine" and respond to your emotions without shameSet clearer boundaries without overexplaining or feeling responsible for everyone's reactionPause before reacting so you can communicate with more steadinessRest without believing you must earn it firstCreate more space for joy, peace, presence, and connectionModel healthier emotional habits for your childrenThis is not another demand to wake up earlier, organize your life better, or add more self-care to an already impossible schedule.
It is an invitation to stop proving how much you can handle.
Because your children are not only listening to what you teach. They are learning from what you normalize. They are watching how you respond to stress, whether you honor your needs, and what you believe a woman must sacrifice to be worthy of love, respect, and rest.
You do not need to become a perfect mother.
You need to become more honest about what is costing you, more intentional about what you continue, and more willing to choose a different emotional legacy.
If you are ready to stop running on empty, feel like yourself again, and change what your children inherit, this book is your next step.
You deserve better than fine.Customer Reviews
