About this audiobook
Order-loving Rachel Randolph and her laid-back mother Becky Johnson might be opposites in some ways, but there’s one thing they both want to figure out: why is life so hectic and draining? Through interviews with friends and lots of research, they determine the ten most common stressors that mess with a woman’s mind and together cook up a plan to live a less depleted and more nourished life.
The wise and witty co-authors of the heartwarming We Laugh, We Cry, We Cook, Becky and Rachel share their successes and failures as they make peace with their imperfect bodies, create living spaces they love, get wiser in their relationships, tame jam-packed schedules, settle into God’s love, and more. In short, they stumble and journey together toward a life that better nourishes them—body, mind, soul, and spirit.
With humor, honesty, and faith, this mother-daughter duooffers a breath of fresh air for readers of all generations and life-stages who find themselves drained, discontent, or discouraged—and know there has to be a healthier alternative.

- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5Book Review: Nourished by Becky Johnson and Rachel RandolphBook-review-nourished-by-becky-johnson-and-rachel-randolph--bA Search for Health, Happiness, and a Full Night’s SleepThis book was unique in the fact that it was authored by a mother-daughter team. This team effort brought in freshness and a little bit of delightfulness.I found the style of writing to be very personable and a whole lot of story. It felt a little bit like chatting with friends, but more like only listening to friends chatting, since there was no real interaction of course. At times it felt like listening to two monologues.Some of the conversation was slightly humorous and there was a touch of delight but since lots of story is not my favorite style of nonfiction book to read, at times I found it extremely boring.There was not a whole lot of how-to, actual useful information, that is, the promises made in the sub-title of health, happiness and sleep information. If there was, you sure had to hunt and search for it and slog through all that story stuff in order to find it.None of the content was bad by any stretch of the imagination, it was just not my style. Some people will find this entire book truly delightful I’m sure.Not only was this book big on story telling, it made you feel like you were not alone. Those were its two biggest pluses.If you are a fan of lots of story and like to get to know your book authors you will probably really enjoy this book.To purchase your own copy of this book go here:Nourished: A Search for Health, Happiness, and a Full Night’s SleepDisclosure of Material Connection: I received this book free from publisher through the Booklookbloggers.com book review bloggers program.
