Summary
Brought to you by Penguin.
This is a book for anyone who feels overwhelmed by life and is looking for an accessible and gentle way to care for their home—and themselves.
Have you ever looked at a pile of dishes in the sink and wanted to crawl back into bed? Or found yourself staring at the overflowing recycling bin thinking, why is my life such a mess?
But what if we stopped seeing a clean house as a reflection of our worth and instead as a kindness to our future self?
How to Keep House While Drowning will introduce you to six life-changing principles to revolutionise the way you approach domestic work, all without a single to-do list. Most importantly, it will help you get free of shame and guide you in coping with stress...and that ever-mounting laundry pile.
This book will help you:
- Find ways to make your home serve you.
- Break down domestic work into manageable tasks.
- Stop negative self-talk around housework.
- Give yourself permission to rest, even when things aren't finished.
PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

Excellent book
This book puts a whole new meaning into cleaning de cluttering and still surviving guilt and shame that has perhaps stemmed from childhood, critical parenting or simply your own interpretation of lifes expectations. This book is a great listen and has the power to be life changing.. Thankyou

Reduced overwhelm
Great for refocusing and reframing tasks in a way that reduces overwhelm. Gave me motivation to start and keep going, and to stop feeling bad about it all.

Feels like it was written for me
This book is everything I have been missing for the past year.
I bought my first home last year and have been immensely struggling with all aspects of general upkeep as I have autism & ADHD, and my partner and I both work full time.
It has put me in a really bad place mentally and no matter what I seem to try in an attempt to claw my way out, nothing works.
I stumbled upon this book and it feels like somebody has lived my life and come back to tell me how to tackle my biggest struggles! I couldn’t help but sob through most of it, I’ve never felt so seen.
Thank you so much KC, you have given me and many others hope in the darkest place, I wish I could repay your kindness.

Very useful and easy to listen to
Book and content is very useful and full of excellent tips and tricks to keep on top of care tasks and being kind to yourself. The audio voice is very good and is fantastic as a calming listen when the world is too hectic and because chapters are short there is no worry when you zone out as it is easy to jump back in without needing to rewind

The most relevant book I’ve ever read/listened to
I downloaded this book as I’d seen it mentioned on TikTok and when I saw it was only 3 hours long I thought what do I have to lose…within the first chapter I had tears streaming down my face and they didn’t stop until the end! I also suffered with PND last year after having my second daughter and I’ve been left feeling lazy and unable to ‘reset’ ever since.
This book changed all of that in just three hours and I now feel like I can get my life and my home back. Thank you

Brilliant manual for self-kindness
I think the book could be titled "Lessons in self kindness for those with ADHD". I took little bits away from the keeping house bits but so much more away in terms of stopping being so damp hard on myself. I am 50 years old and was only diagnosed a year ago. Realising that not doing the things I've been told 'everyone' does or not doing them the way I think I 'should' and not feeling like a failure for it is the greatest gift I can receive. Thank you KC ❤️
