Joan Blades, President of MomsRising.org, co-author of The Custom-Fit Workplace and The Motherhood Manifesto says:
“A heartfelt book. Angela Sasseville reassures parents that the struggle to make ends meet is a common experience because the structure of the modern workplace and social supports simply haven’t caught up. Fact is most middle class families require both parents to work these days. Angela shares her personal struggle as well as how she has helped herself and others take charge and thrive in a system that is not working. She helps us envision a better future that we shape together.“
Franklin R. Albert, financial coach & public speaker says:
“As Angela Sasseville points out in her book most of us were taught not to speak of money or our financial affairs to others and believe I have to deal with this myself. She also takes the important approach that when dealing with financial issues it must be done on two planes, the physical and the spiritual. You can take all kinds of physical action to solve a financial problem but unless you change from within the physical repair will be a short lived success.”
Barb Maiberger, LPC, Founder of The Maiberger Institute and author of EMDR Essentials: A Guide for Clients and Therapists says:
“Families Under Financial Stress” is a practical and timely guide that sheds light on the hidden impact of financial stress on families. Told through her personal story, Angela Sasseville shows how any stable family can become overwhelmed by life’s events that can impair them financially but more importantly, emotionally. Bringing her knowledge as a therapist into this secretive problem, she has created a step-by-step guide to tackle stressors in new and healthier ways that will help families become emotionally, physically, and financially more balanced in sustainable ways.”
