Finding Your Happy in the Hard: How to Feel Amazing When Things Are Exhausting, Unfulfilling, or Just F*cking Tough

From the creator of Shop with Caroline and host of the Dear Media podcast Coming In Hot: a friendly, practical guide to loving yourself as much as you love everyone else—and feeling amazing, even when life is tough.

When a single phone call upended her family’s world, former actress and stay-at-home mom Caroline Baudino looked in the mirror and didn’t recognize the woman staring back. Drained by caregiving, marriage, money stress, aging parents, and the rinse-wash-repeat of everyday life, she did one simple thing: She got up and got dressed. Then she did it again the next day. Two weeks later, she had more energy, confidence, and joy than she’d felt in years—and a clear path back to herself.

Today, Caroline has inspired a community of women to “find the happy in the hard” with easy, zero-perfection tools that fit real lives. Inside, you’ll learn how to:

• Put yourself on your own to-do list (guilt-free) with Caroline’s six unique “Happy Tools”
• Navigate the everyday “hards”—marriage, motherhood, money, aging, and more—while staying grounded, hopeful, and you
• Build self-worth that doesn’t hinge on your relationship status, bank balance, or the number on the scale
• Claim your “unique sparkle” (yes, accessories count) so you feel like yourself again—visible, vibrant, and fully alive

Find Your Happy in the Hard is a rallying cry for the “normal” woman with a full plate and a big heart who needs simple, sustainable ways to love yourself as much as you love everyone else—and permission to start now.
