The Lazy Mom's Guide to Motherhood - Paperback

You don’t need to be perfect. You just need to be present—and rested.
In a world that glorifies “doing it all,” The Lazy Mom’s Guide to Motherhood is a refreshing, honest, and empowering permission slip to slow down. This isn’t about slacking off—it’s about letting go of guilt, hustle, and perfectionism so you can mother from a place of peace.
 
Author and creator Shelleka Powell-Tomlinson, founder of Efitmi Lifestyle, redefines what it means to be a “lazy” mom by showing how intentional rest, boundaries, delegation, and emotional awareness are actually the keys to sustainable motherhood.
 
Whether you're a stay-at-home mom, working mom, or somewhere in between, this book is for the mother who:
Feels burnt out from carrying the invisible mental load
Struggles to ask for help—or feels guilty when she does
Wants to break generational patterns and raise emotionally healthy kids
Is tired of being the “primary parent” in a two-parent home
Wants practical mindset shifts—not more checklists or mom guilt
 
Through personal stories, psychological insights, and laugh-out-loud moments, Shelleka offers a radical but doable path to saying no without apology, raising independent kids, and reclaiming your identity outside of motherhood.
 
It’s not laziness. It’s wisdom.
 
Because rest is not a reward—it’s a right.
