The Unflustered Mom: How Understanding the Five Anxiety Styles Transforms the Way We Parent, Partner, Live, and Love
"Any moms who want more ease, confidence, and joy in their lives should definitely read this book!" —Kim West, MSW, "The Sleep Lady"
Unlock your ability to unfluster your parenting by identifying your anxiety style so you can turn frustration to flourishing
Many moms live under the weight of seemingly constant fear. They worry about everything from their kids’ safety and emotional health to that weird little rash on their ankle. They are the referees, social planners, medics, financial consultants, cooks, travel agents, educational specialists, family therapists, and housekeepers. It’s utterly exhausting. Unfortunately, it’s not just exhausting, it leaves them flustered. Most of us don’t have access to the support or resources we need to manage being flustered in a healthier way.
Women end up with symptoms ranging from “mom guilt” and “mommy brain” to depression, anxiety, panic attacks, substance abuse, and eating disorders. Moms are more flustered now than ever before. Even women who have no previous experience with anxiety or depression find themselves changed as a result of the physiological shifts, emotional isolation, hormonal imbalances, and unrealistic expectations that accompany motherhood.
The Unflustered Mom offers a healthy alternative for dealing with mom-fears. Moms can identify their anxiety, better understand their triggers, their clues, their contributing factors, and their false beliefs. Then they’ll learn practical tools that can help to dismantle the fears no longer serving them—turning their fluster into flourish .

This book is an amazing guide to help mothers navigate their mom anxieties that arise after becoming a mom. The author takes the attachment theory styles and simplifies it for mom category. Most importantly she walks you through steps on how to heal and grow.
The compassion this author has for motherhood and all it’s voids is inspiring. As a mother of a toddler it’s very helpful to put a name to all the crazy.

This book really does it for me in all the ways a good book lights a fire 🔥 under my butt. I learned what kind of parent and person I am and from there, insights and tools to tackle my life challenges were at my fingertips. I think this is a MUST READ for moms ready to level up in life. I feel calm, collected and ready to start interacting with the world around me not just for a short while, but for the long haul. I believe “Unflustered” is how we all want to feel and I give 5 shining stars for this game changer.

I loved this book! I am constantly in a state of "flusterment" and I found the strategies in this to be extremely helpful. I am pretty sure I have all 5 anxiety types so I read the book front to back (some readers may know their primary and secondary anxiety styles and may only need to read their sections!). Even though I read it from front to back, it was a quick read and I highly recommend it for mamas (or guardians of young children) trying to get in their parenting groove!

A must read for any soon-to-be moms, moms of newborns and any age up to 18!
Amber highlights the importance of self-care, how to identify your anxiety style and the tools you can use (in any moment) to calm yourself after you’re triggered.
She opens with some lighthearted and relatable humor and stories and concludes with some incredibly easy and sustainable tools to lower your anxiety.

The ‘Five Love Languages’ of anxiety books for mothers! I found this book a month postpartum of being a mom of 2 under 2. It was exactly what I needed to not only identify what makes me anxious / on edge and help communicate what I am feeling to my loved ones.
It recommended strategies for me to recenter based on my specific personality.
This is a book I have already recommended to other moms!

Amber is insightful in a way that makes it easy to take in her wisdom - I guess just like the title says! I’m so grateful for the way she’s spoken into my life. If you’re looking for how to address the stress in your life (from whatever area it arises), this book is a great place to start.

January 27, 2024I can’t rate this book because it’s a self help book that is very structured based on your anxiety type.
