About this audiobook
Foreword by Mark Brunetz, Emmy Award winning TV host, author and social entrepreneur
Every day, people stop in their tracks, wondering (sometimes out loud), "Are those all her kids?"Hollie Gyarmati makes the impossible look easy with her upbeat attitude, on-trend lip color, and party of five following her lead. She will happily tell you that she has two sets of twins in her mix without pausing whatever mission she's on in that moment.
What she won't tell you is that she left her dream career as a senior designer for the once-fabulous Marshall Field's as well as her less-is-more humble upbringing to marry and start a family with the more-is-more man of her dreams. What was planned to be one baby, and a cushy suburban lifestyle turned into five babies in four years, shortly followed by Detroit's Great Recession. As it turned out, being a wife and mom wasn't her biggest purpose--her biggest purpose was fully deconstructing and renovating who she was created to be.
At her lowest, she found strength in her passion for design, which ultimately led her to resurrect the truest parts of herself to create a life more beautiful than she ever imagined possible.
"The Mother of All Makeovers is like an ice bucket dumped on your head. It will wake you up, bring you to your senses, and make you laugh and cry at once."
--Marni Jameson, nationally syndicated home columnist, and author of Downsizing the Family Home
"Hollie's writing is as fabulous as the way she lives her life...unapologetically raw, full of entertainment and beautiful storytelling that keeps you laughing and wondering what's going to happen next."
--Jennifer Bertrand, HGTV Design Star Winner, Season 3 & Military Makeover Designer, Lifetime Channel
