I’m writing this post with my inside voice. But really I just want to open the window and scream at Katy Perry!

December 10, 2014 by Mona Andrei 3 Comments

Hey there awesome readers, Before I get into the meat of this post about why I’m mad at Katy Perry, please allow me to make a few assumptions … Assumption #1: At the risk of sounding like a stalker or even a genius, I’m going to go out on a limb here and assume that […]

The Sh*t They Don’t Tell You edition.

The Superwoman Workbook

Buzz

“Mona’s ability to mix humor with insight is truly admirable.”
Holly Monteith, Cynren Press

"Mona Andrei has a way of using humour to teach life lessons, hard taught through experience. Superwoman, The Sh*t They Don't Tell You Edition is both an easy and a hard read as she delves into the ever-changing world of the single mom. From online dating to the joys of grocery store wine, her personal experiences are complemented in this edition by the addition of other real-world stories. This "from the trenches" approach will have great appeal to those trying to get it all done without doing themselves in."
Kathy Buckworth, author of I Am So the Boss of You

"Superwoman is a love letter to single mothers everywhere. Mona Andrei writes with the tenderness of someone who’s lived it and the clarity of someone who’s learned from it. Her humor, honesty, and hard-won wisdom make this book a companion, a mirror, and a reminder that every woman deserves to honor her own strength.

"Reading Superwoman feels like sitting down with your smartest, funniest friend who refuses to let you forget your own power. Both medicine and celebration, this is a must-read for any woman who’s lived whole chapters of life on sheer heart and determination. This book doesn’t just tell a great story — it elevates the spirit of every woman who’s ever carried the world and wondered if she was enough.”

Linda Sivertsen, Beautiful Writers Book
