It’s easy to get caught in the comparison games we play with our appearances, our kids, and our homes. Kay reminds exhausted families about tried and true remedies from the pressures of competitive living.

In her warm, relatable style, Kay confronts the comparison epidemic raging in our homes, our neighborhoods, and our social-media feeds, offering remedies along the way.

With candor and humor, I’m Happy For You (Sort Of…Not Really) explores the troubling effects of living in an excessively competitive culture—and reveals simple yet effective ways to escape the comparison trap.

About the Author

Kay Wills Wyma is a blogger,  a mother of five beautiful and overall agreeable children and wife to one terrific, sometimes overly safety-conscious,  guy.  A recovering enabler/procrastinator/grammar-hacker/controller, am calendar challenged and a founding member of the Women’s Auxiliary for the Organizationally Impaired. Her resume includes great places to work including The White House, The Staubach Company, & Bank of America – but, though it involves weathering many an eyeroll, She loves most her job as mom. The excessive driving gets old, but the best thing about those miles is the crew that travels them with her.

Thoughts from Kay…

Tired of performing? Feeling weighed down by the pressure to be Pinteresting? Does your friend’s wardrobe, body, marriage, paycheck, vacation plans, or photoshoot-worthy home décor leave you wishing your life looked more like that? 

You’re not alone.

With its focus on smarter, faster, thinner, and ever-better, our cultural obsession with comparison is undercutting relationships and sapping contentment. Our friends become our audience (or judges), and our titles, activities, even kids become part of our brand. Factor in social media’s constant reminder of what everyone else is doing, and no wonder we feel drained, discontent, and isolated.  

Thankfully, we don’t have to live this way
