In her new book Gentle: Rest More, Stress Less, and Live the Life You Actually Want, Courtney Carver offers a revolutionary, countercultural concept - Rest First.

Hi, I’m Emily - a wife, #boymom, and simplicity seeker. I struggled to get pregnant and felt completely overwhelmed - until I discovered decluttering could create the physical and emotional space I needed to become a mom.
