About this listen

Brought to you by Penguin.

This is a book for anyone who feels overwhelmed by life and is looking for an accessible and gentle way to care for their home—and themselves.

Have you ever looked at a pile of dishes in the sink and wanted to crawl back into bed? Or found yourself staring at the overflowing recycling bin thinking, why is my life such a mess?

But what if we stopped seeing a clean house as a reflection of our worth and instead as a kindness to our future self?

How to Keep House While Drowning will introduce you to six life-changing principles to revolutionise the way you approach domestic work, all without a single to-do list. Most importantly, it will help you get free of shame and guide you in coping with stress...and that ever-mounting laundry pile.

This book will help you:

  • Find ways to make your home serve you.
  • Break down domestic work into manageable tasks.
  • Stop negative self-talk around housework.
  • Give yourself permission to rest, even when things aren't finished.

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

I think the book could be titled "Lessons in self kindness for those with ADHD". I took little bits away from the keeping house bits but so much more away in terms of stopping being so damp hard on myself. I am 50 years old and was only diagnosed a year ago. Realising that not doing the things I've been told 'everyone' does or not doing them the way I think I 'should' and not feeling like a failure for it is the greatest gift I can receive. Thank you KC ❤️
