Nichole Clark invites you in like an old friend and reminds you of the little things that matter most. I couldn’t get her chapter on gratitude out of my mind for days. Waking up with gratitude had always been something I tried to do, but I must have lost the habit somewhere along the way. Thank you, Nichole, for bringing back a piece of my heart.

If you are a mom or busy woman looking to learn how to improve your self- esteem and grow in confidence this is the book for you!”

When I met Nichole, there was an instant connection. Maybe it was the mom connection, maybe the curlfriend connection? Either way, I knew I’d met a woman to admire. She is a champion for moms, for women really. Even though we are in different places as moms, I’m an empty-nester and she just had number six, the habits she shares apply! Nichole’s book The 10-Minute Refresh for Moms, teaches simple yet practical steps that can transform your daily life and the impact you have on your children.
