About

Overwhelmed is the new normal

Too much to manage and not enough time or energy to do it? What if instead of being overwhelmed with life you could be overwhelmed by Truth with all its grace, hope, peace, and love?

In this perspective-altering book, Kay Wills Wyma shares how to confront the pressures we face--at home, online, at work, in relationships, on our calendars--and replace all those heavy expectations with the liberating truth that we were made for something better. Through relatable stories sprinkled with a dash of humor, Kay gives us permission to step back, put Life's Overwhelmed in its place, and find fulfillment and freedom anchored in Truth.

If you feel tired, like you just can't take it anymore--don't. Because Life's Overwhelmed is not the boss of us!

Jim Daly, president of Focus on the Family

"Kay has always been the friend who realigns my thinking and reshapes my heart--guiding me gently back to truth every time. This is exactly what she does throughout every page of Not the Boss of Us. It's a much-needed mind-set shakeup in a world drowning in overwhelmed."

"This book is a breath of fresh air. Kay Wyma's humor, honesty, and insight will inspire and encourage you to make some very good trades. Rather than allowing yourself to be overwhelmed by the trappings and pressures that seem chronic in this fast-paced world, Kay will show you how to slow down and lean into your Heavenly Father--who, by the way, made you for so much more."

Sandra Stanley, North Point Ministries

"In Not the Boss of Us, Kay doesn't gloss over the complexities of the daily demands we face. Instead she shows us how those demands don't get to dictate how we live. Kay is a gifted storyteller who weaves both compassion and invitation into this book that is a must-read for any woman who has ever felt overwhelmed and under pressure. In these pages you will--you can't not--find the freedom-full way of life you've been longing to discover."

Jeannie Cunnion, author of Mom Set Free

"I was captivated by the real stories that Kay shares, making the words come alive as she illustrates the importance of us putting our focus on our almighty God--the only real strength for any of us especially when we are overwhelmed. As I interact with women in the workplace, I see so many getting caught up in material trappings, titles, accomplishments, etc. Sometimes God interrupts when our perspective gets out of whack. He did with me. Not the Boss of Us is a must-read for everyone."

Diane Paddison, business leader; founder and executive director of 4word; author of Work, Love, Pray and Be Refreshed
