ABOUT THE BOOK

Are your hands so full with the demands of everyday life that you have trouble finding a moment to simply catch your breath? Kirsten Watson gets it—and she wants to encourage you in your moments of crazy.

As a mom of seven kids, the wife of a professional athlete, and the cohost of a popular podcast, Kirsten is often asked by other women, “How do you do it?” They see her with her hands full and wonder what keeps her going—and smiling—with everything she’s juggling.

In Sis, Take a Breath, Kirsten offers you

encouragement during the daily chaos,
practical help for the moments when it’s hard to take a deep breath,
truth from Scripture when you need strength to keep going, and
relatable personal stories to help you live and love well in today’s frantic world.

You have so much to manage that simply taking a deep breath feels so . . . good. Life is busy. But Kirsten wants to reassure you:

Breathe in, sis. Now breathe out. You’ve got this.

On these pages, Kirsten Watson has effectively married scriptural, spiritual truths with practical, honest applications. Her vulnerability and raw honesty invite the reader to know her, not as the pedestalized, beautiful NFL wife who has it all together and for whom life is perfect, but as a truly surrendered woman of God who is seeking to grow in Christlikeness in the midst of struggles common to all.
