A Coat of Yellow Paint: Moving Through the Noise to Love the Life You Live

Written by Naomi Davis

Narrated by Naomi Davis

Life doesn’t come with an instruction book for the role of perfect wife and mother. However, as Love Taza creator Naomi Davis?discovered on her journey from newlywed Juilliard dancer to mother of five, a joyful life is a work of art that only you can create for yourself.

When Naomi launched the popular blog Love Taza a decade ago, she had no way of knowing where that first blog post would lead or the millions of lives she’d impact.

In A Coat of Yellow Paint, Naomi details an exploration of her faith, personal heartaches, challenges balancing a home life with career, motherhood, and her struggles with infertility.

Along the way, Naomi illustrates the urgency of celebrating life’s most important things––family, faith, friendship, and an upright piano painted bright yellow––ignoring the critics.

Through stories time-stamped?as intimate and vulnerable essays, Naomi shares life lessons she’s learned, including how to:

• communicate openly and honestly in your marriage and friendships
• be confident in the choices you make as a mother--and why you’re more than “just a mom”
• overcome criticism--including from yourself--on body image, infertility, and doing “enough”
• make childhood feel magical and seek out adventures with your little ones 
• navigate spiritual upheaval and reclaim your faith
• find more soulfulness in your social media and online experience

If you dream of a life celebrating family, self, and work in a way that feels right for you, A Coat of Yellow Paint will?inspire you to drown out the noise of others’ opinions and expectations--so you can be empowered to love your life.

This book exceeds all expectations! Naomi is such a wonderful writer and it feels as if a sister is giving you life advice in such a wonderful and beautiful way. I want to reread this book and I’ve only just finished it - it was that good!

A great read/listen all about motherhood and tuning into your inner voice. I have followed Naomi’s blog for a long time and it was great to hear more about her family and life. Definitely taking some of the ideas away into my own life. Also loved the interview with her 9 year old daughter at the end, so sweet and lovely!

Loved this book because it’s light and deep at the same time. Naomi shares her life and her thoughts and her takeaways, how to see the glass half full and make sure you love your life and your choices! Thanks for this good listening moment!

Naomi is a sweetheart and taught me , a young woman, a lot of lessons Im going to need one day. I appreciated how vulnerable she was showing her more human and petty emotions that we can all relate to.

Been reading Naomi's blog for years and years, if you love her blog you'll love her book! She gave a brave, inside look at her life as a mom, woman of faith, and friend. She shared honest, brave, bold (and never before shared!) stories and had me laughing at the paper towel story! We've all been there!
