The new book from Sally Larkin Green
You have been holding it together for a long time.
Maybe you are still holding it. Maybe you have started wondering how much longer you can keep going like this, and feeling guilty for wondering that at all.
This book is for you.
If you've ever whispered "I'm so tired," this book was written for you.
You are the one everyone calls. The one who remembers the birthdays, holds the calendars, answers the late-night texts. You keep showing up. You keep saying yes. And somewhere along the way, you started confusing being needed with being loved.
Your cup has been empty for a long time. You have just gotten very good at pretending it isn't.
Inside the book
What you'll discover
Why you keep saying yes when you mean no
The quiet patterns that turned you into everyone's safety net, and what God says about your worth that has nothing to do with your usefulness.
The breaking point that became a turning point
A real story, told honestly about the bathroom floor, the caregiving years, and the slow grace-filled discovery that God was already there.
What it means to live from overflow instead of empty
Not a productivity framework. A different way of understanding what God asks of you, and what He never asked at all.
Permission to rest without earning it first
Rest is not a reward. It is the soil. This book gives you language for the thing you have been afraid to admit you need.
Reflection questions written just for you
At the end of each chapter, there is space to sit with your own story, in Sally's voice, asking the questions she wished someone had asked her.
Your own definition of enough
Stop chasing someone else's finish line. Build a life that already feels like home.

I'm Fine
For years, "I'm fine" was my automatic answer. It came out so easily, so quickly, that I don't think I even noticed I was saying it half the time. How are you? Fine. How are things going? Fine. Are you okay? Yes, I'm fine.
And on the outside, I looked like I was.
I was showing up. I was working. I was taking care of my family, doing the grocery shopping, answering the phone, remembering the appointments, keeping track of everything that needed to be done, and somehow finding a way to make it all happen. I smiled when I was supposed to smile. I laughed when something was funny. I went to church. I showed up for people. I pushed through. From the outside, I looked like a woman who had it together.
But I wasn't fine.
I was tired in a way that sleep couldn't fix. I was carrying a heaviness I didn't have words for. It wasn't a big dramatic breakdown. It was more like a slow leaking of myself, one responsibility at a time. A little more here. A little more there. One more yes. One more errand. One more client. One more bill. One more person who needed something. And I kept telling myself this was just life. This was what women did. This was what wives did. This was what mothers did. This was what responsible people did. You got up. You did what had to be done. You didn't complain. You didn't fall apart. You kept going.
The problem was, I had been keeping going for so long that I didn't know how to stop. And honestly, I didn't think I was allowed to.
There is a strange kind of pride that comes with being dependable. People know they can count on you. They know you will show up. They know you will figure it out. And for a while, that feels good. Until it doesn't. Until being dependable starts to feel like disappearing. Until everyone knows you are strong, but nobody knows you are exhausted. Until "I'm fine" stops being an answer and becomes a hiding place.
That was where I was living.
I wasn't lying on purpose. I was surviving. Sometimes "I'm fine" really means I don't have the energy to explain. Sometimes it means I can't fall apart right now because too many people are depending on me. And sometimes it means please don't ask me again, because if you ask with too much kindness, I might actually tell you the truth.
That was me.
I wasn't lazy. I wasn't ungrateful. I wasn't weak. I was empty. But I didn't know how to say it. So I kept saying I was fine.
But I think God knew I wasn't. And I think He was already there, in all that empty, waiting for me to stop pretending.
After reading this book, you'll begin to...
- Stop feeling guilty for taking care of yourself.
- Recognize the patterns that keep you exhausted.
- Understand your worth apart from what you do for others.
- Create space to rest without earning it.
- Start living from overflow instead of survival mode.
The turning point
Your breaking point does not have to be the end of your story.
One Wednesday in March of 2020, after thirty years of caring for everyone else, Sally hit the floor. Not metaphorically. She sat down on a bathroom floor and finally stopped pretending she was fine.
And that is where God met her. Not after she got it together. Not after she figured it out. Right there in the middle of it.
Enough is the honest, faith-rooted story of what happened next, and what she slowly began to understand about worth, rest, and the woman God had been working on all along.
"I wrote this book because I know what it feels like to disappear inside a life you love."

Sally Larkin Green
Sally Larkin Green spent thirty years cleaning other people's houses before she ever believed her own story was worth telling. She is an author, speaker, and co-founder of Action Takers Publishing, where she has helped hundreds of writers find their voice and become published authors. She hosts the Action Takers Author Podcast and writes the Refill My Cup newsletter on Substack.
But before any of that, she was the woman behind the sponge. The one who kept showing up, kept serving, kept holding everything together while quietly wondering if anyone could see the writer, the dreamer, the woman God was still working on.
Enough is her first solo memoir. She lives in Connecticut with her husband Billy and her cats. She believes in strong coffee, honest writing, and the courage it takes to begin again.
