Through her writing and coaching, Wisdom helps mothers reconnect with their voice, rebuild trust in themselves, and lead their families from a place of grounded wholeness.

Why I Wrote Beyond Overwhelmed

I wrote Beyond Overwhelmed because I was living it. Like so many mothers, I found myself constantly doing—juggling work, parenting, managing a household—while quietly unraveling inside.

I couldn’t find the book I needed: one that spoke honestly about the mental and emotional weight of motherhood, without judgment or pretense. So I wrote it.

This is the book I wish I had when I felt like I was losing touch with myself and unsure how to move forward. If it helps even one mother feel more seen, more centered, and more powerful—I’ll know it did its job.
