“You Are Not a Sh*tty Parent is the practical, funny, and loving friend you need to get through the real challenges of parenting. Carla completely understands how chaotic and hard parenting is—and how we doubt and question ourselves—because she’s been there. Her take on the powerful medicine of self-compassion is to serve it with a loving spoonful of irreverent humor to help it land in our real lives. If you’re frustrated, struggling, and sick of holier-than-thou parenting books, grab this book and get the (very real) help it offers with a welcome dose of wit.”
