How Momisms: Life Lessons From a Cool Mom and
I Am Power! Over Me, Not Them
Are Connected

One book introduces the truth. The other brings it to life.

Momisms introduced the IMPowerment App.

I Am Power shows children how to use it.

Some books stand alone.
These two don’t.
They were created to work together.

Momisms: Life Lessons from a Cool Mom is where the IMPowerment App™ was born — the place where the core truth first appeared:

I am power over me, not them.

Momisms introduced the mindset.
It gave parents the language.
It gave children the truth.
It taught the lessons that shape character, confidence, and resilience.

But a powerful truth needs more than explanation —
it needs a story children can feel, see, and connect with.

That’s where I Am Power! Over Me, Not Them comes in.

Momisms Introduced the IMPowerment App™

These weren’t theories.
They were the hard-earned lessons you wrote down while raising your daughters — real parenting, real struggle, real growth.

Momisms teaches the concept. It explains the meaning. It gives the why behind the mindset.
It is the origin story of the IMPowerment App.

I Am Power! Shows Children How to Use It

The story: Kendi and Taye bring the mindset to life

In I Am Power!, children finally see the IMPowerment App in action.

They watch Kendi:

• face pressure
• feel doubt
• give her power away
• reclaim it
• and learn how Attitude, Perspective, and Perseverance work in real moments

They see her whisper:

I am power over me, not them.

They see her lose confidence.
They see her regain it.
They see her use the IMPowerment App exactly the way Momisms teaches.

And they learn how to use it themselves.

Momisms gives the wisdom.
I Am Power gives the experience.

Why These Two Books Belong Together

Same core message: Never let anyone make you think you are not enough.

Same framework: Attitude. Perspective. Perseverance.

Same purpose: Helping children take power over their thoughts, feelings, and actions.

Same emotional truth: Raising strong kids is hard — but worth everything.

Same outcome: Confident, resilient, empowered children.

Together, they form the complete IMPowerment journey.
