SOUTHERN ARIZONA, NOVEMBER 10, 2022 — Four mothers and authors, Kristin
Gudenkauf, Mary Reiss Farias, Casie Rendon, and Kimberly Crossland, collaborated to
co-author a newly released book, Discovering Something Greater. This new book is a unique
invitation for women and fellow parents to bring into focus the passion projects that have been
stirring within their hearts, as well as the guidance and encouragement to take the next steps
forward with confidence, conviction, and clarity.
Discover Something Greater
These authors each felt drawn to share this guide with others after experiencing the struggle of
losing yourself in motherhood and the joy in pursuing entrepreneurship as a means of balancing
parenting and career. Although many books have been authored on entrepreneurship and
motherhood alike, Discovering Something Greater brings a unique and fresh perspective.
Inside, the authors blend the two in a way that offers women permission to strive toward their
goals without burning out or sacrificing family time. The reader receives a new framework for
removing boundaries, renewing their energy, and reigniting confidence in themselves. The result
looks like this:
● Clearly defined vision for the transformative journey the reader is embarking upon
● Cultivated self-image that allows the reader to step forward with strength, wisdom, and
authenticity
● Plan to balance personal and professional endeavors in harmony
● A clear path to rising above the noise with their story and their voice
● Strategy to bounce back and leap forward through adversity with resilience
This book cuts to the heart of what so many women feel today — a spark burning inside them
with a desire to pursue something greater that doesn’t require sacrificing health, happiness, or
home life.
