Review by Marlene Engel
There are times in life
that shake us to our very foundations. We wish for things to get better, fast.
But the truth is that moments of “falling apart” are also our most powerful
catalysts for growth and change. In Falling Together, Donna Cardillo,
a registered nurse, Dr. Oz blogger, and beloved public speaker, reflects on the
overwhelming challenges that fall into every life, and the renewal that comes
when we are able to meet them with courage. A funny, big-hearted self-help
memoir that takes on issues like divorce, caregiving, and burnout—and many
women’s biggest enemies of all, fear, insecurity, and self-doubt—Falling
Together shows how to turn the challenges that threaten to knock us to
the ground into the building blocks we need to become more successful, more
joyful, and ultimately, more alive.
There is truth to the say …
I am woman. Hear me roar! How many hats do we women wear on a daily
basis? For me, I’m a wife and mom. I am a business owner, caregiver, and
domestic goddess (I’m not too proud to admit that!). I play the role of nurse, chauffer, cook,
housecleaner, teacher … heck, we’ll be here all day if I rattle off all the
hats I wear! My point is, we all have
many roles. Some we enjoy, some … well,
not so much. But each role is important
to our daily lives and makes our lives, and in turn us, who we are. But there are times when the strain of day to
day living can be too much to handle. In
Falling Together, Donna Cardillo helps offer ways to better handle these
stressors, to get them in check before they become all consuming.
Written by a woman, for
women, this book is the perfect tool to help tackle life’s issues and take
steps to living a happier, more productive life. And, who wouldn’t want to benefit from that?
