We’re celebrating a few things in this special edition…

…one of those things is something you’re hearing about FIRST. And, it’s something I’ve been pouring myself into for a few years. You’ve been so supportive of me over the years, especially since leaving ABC News and it’s time to tell you this:

I’ve written a NEW book, titled: 

“You Don’t Have To Carry It All:Ditch the Mom Guilt and Find a Better Way Forward”

The book is for moms, women who want to become moms…and all you brave dads (I know there are a few of you, here!). It will be released in March 2023 but is available for pre-order now. 

I’ve absolutely loved beating the drum for working moms via CARRY™ , which exists to champion working moms. This book? It’s a huge part of that. I’m returning to my journalist roots — interviewing all kinds of experts, conducting a slew of interviews, diving into the research and having conversations with moms here in America and across the globe.  

The message is both helpful and hopeful — that things are going to get better for moms and families. And, the book lays out a roadmap of how it can happen. 

Because it’s a long title, you’ll see and hear me abbreviate it as #YDHTCIA — and I’d LOVE LOVE LOVE for some of you to join my advance team — which means you get to read it before anyone else and join hands to spread the word. Stay tuned for more information on the advance team!

I also want to celebrate YOU today! So, I’m giving away several of my FARIS FAVORITES for working mamas. All you have to do is direct message me via Instagram in the next 24 hours and I’ll pick one of you to win each of these favorites! (CAVEAT: first-time winners only.)You don’t have to CARRY it all, friends!

FARIS FAVORITES

I shared this game-changing organizational home calendar with you a few weeks ago… It’s customizable and has been a miracle for my crew.

I love ABLE — 

They exist to empower women! And, I am obsessed with their MAMA necklace… It’s going to look so great on you!

Playing games and connecting with my crew is essential. Especially since we’re more disconnected than ever (don’t get me started on how smartphones are ruining all of us). So, if you’ve been following me, you know I am obsessed with SEQUENCE! You’re going to be, as well. Warning: should we ever meet and play this game, I will take you down. It brings out my competitive spirit! LOL

None of us need another kitchen appliance. So, I’m not even going to call it that. But, this panini maker will transform your relationship with bread, meat and cheese. Or anything you like between two pieces of bread. It makes gourmet sandwiches in a flash and is super easy to clean. Thank me later!

I won’t apologize for asking for help, for NOT trying to carry it all. And, INSTACART-ing my groceries falls into that category. $150 of groceries are coming your way, mama!
