What to expect
"Life changing" Red Magazine
"An important and impressive book, that will change how you experience motherhood" Dr Julie Smith
Modern motherhood is insane. We’re expected to parent perfectly, bounce back, enjoy every moment, forge ahead at work and keep smiling through all the endless expectations – all whilst forgetting about ourselves.
Based on years of research, proven transformational coaching tools, world-leading expertise from hundreds of podcast guests such as Dr Gabor Mate Philippa Perry and Dr Becky Kennedy and real-life stories from the Motherkind community, this validating, judgement-free book will help you to:
- Understand the pressures of modern motherhood, and why you’re not failing
- Support yourself through the daily ups and downs
- Change your relationship with guilt, and finally feel good enough
- Handle your challenging emotions and reactions in a new way
- Learn why ‘self-care’ doesn’t work – and what does
- Ditch the idea of ‘balance’ and embrace boundaries instead
This empowering book will give you the tools you need to thrive in modern motherhood and become your happiest self – for yourself and your children.
