How to want more without feeling guilty for new moms: honest answers for Mentor

Local reading · Mentor

Comfort is not the enemy in Mentor. Numbness dressed as comfort is — and they wear almost identical clothes.

And this is Mentor: a community in the Cleveland orbit where ambition is normal, busy is a badge, and gratitude can quietly slip into autopilot And that's precisely where gratitude and growth start arguing — politely.

🎧 A note for Mentor readers (spoken excerpt)

“I should be grateful, but I still feel unfinished. If you've ever said that, this book was written for you.” — There Is a Fine Line Between Gratefulness and Complacency

Three questions Mentor readers dodge

What would you try if nobody would ever find out if you failed?
When did you last do something you weren't already good at?
What did you stop wanting — and was it a decision or a drift?

A two-list honesty practice

List A: what I truly love about my life right now. List B: what I've stopped attempting.
If List B makes you defensive, that's the entry point — pick the smallest item and give it 20 minutes this week.

The goal isn't to despise the life you have. It's to love it enough to keep growing inside it.

Which kind of reader it's for

There are books that fire you up for a week, and books that recalibrate a decade. Readers describe this one as the second kind — the rare title that gets more useful as your life gets fuller.

Straight answers for Mentor

Is it good for a book club? Very — discussion questions come with it, and the 'where have you confused gratitude with settling?' prompt alone powers an hour.

Does it work as a gift? It's the rare growth book that reads as a compliment, not a hint. The paperback is the usual gift format, and it ships with Prime.
