What People are Saying About This

Esther Fleece Allen

Like the older sister we’ve always wanted, Kirsten helps us feel understood and not alone with her conversational approach. She’s intentional with her words and wisdom. This book will make you feel like you’re sitting next to a best friend.

Elisabeth Hasselbeck

Sis, Take a Breath reads like a fun road trip with a friend—one you come out of as close as sisters with Kirsten, who has the gift of being straightforward and loving, honest and wise, vulnerable and strong. You will giggle, laugh, relate, learn, and come to love the journey even more after reading it yourself!

Katy McCown

If you’re yearning for a real, honest conversation about how to handle the relentless stresses and demands of life, this book is for you. You’ll immediately feel seen and understood, and as you walk through the pages of this book with Kirsten, you’ll be changed. This highly practical book is what every woman needs to find the truest version of herself and live her most intentional life for Jesus!

Dr. Virginia Friesen

On these pages, Kirsten Watson has effectively married scriptural, spiritual truths with practical, honest applications. Her vulnerability and raw honesty invite the reader to know her, not as the pedestalized, beautiful NFL wife who has it all together and for whom life is perfect, but as a truly surrendered woman of God who is seeking to grow in Christlikeness in the midst of struggles common to all. As the road of life forks, we follow either the socially acceptable path of appearance management, settling for a life of If it looks like everything is good, it must be and that’s all that matters, or the path of sanctification—the transforming process of becoming like Jesus, which requires honesty, vulnerability, humility, and community. Kirsten personally settles for nothing less than the road less traveled—the one that leads to growth in Christlikeness—and her heart desires that for each of us.

Paula Faris

I’m in awe of Kirsten—she’s not only a super mom, she’s a superhero. In Sis, Take a Breath, Kirsten invites us into the grind, freeing us from the guilt. If you’re isolated and overwhelmed, Kirsten finds strength in the struggle and shows us how you can too.

Rebekah Lyons

I absolutely love Kirsten Watson’s energy and sweet spirit. It was a mystery to me how she kept both with seven kids at home and an abundant, busy life. Her amazing candor, humility, and wisdom shine in Sis, Take a Breath. A must-read!

Courtney DeFeo

After spending time with Kirsten, I always leave feeling encouraged and challenged. Sis, Take a Breath is a fantastic extension of her heart as she teaches you how to walk with God and others in a genuine way.
