Author KC Davis wants you to know this: messiness is not a moral failing. In her new book, How to Keep House While Drowning: A Gentle Approach to Cleaning and Organizing, KC takes on our ‘push harder, be better’ culture and all the shame that goes along with seemingly not being able to measure up. Instead, she invites us to take a kinder, more compassionate approach to ourselves during those moments when life overwhelms us.     Guest Bio KC Davis is a licensed professional therapist, author, and speaker. She is the creator of the mental health platform Struggle Care, where she shares a revolutionary approach to self and home care for those dealing with mental health, physical illness, and hard seasons of life. KC began her mental health journey at sixteen, when she entered treatment for drug addiction and mental health issues. After getting sober, she became a speaker and advocate for mental health and recovery. She lives in Houston with her husband and two daughters.   Host Bio Kristen Manieri is the author of Better Daily Mindfulness Habits (July 2021: Rockridge Press).
