How to Discover the Secret Art of Confident Motherhood. Episode 278
Hey hey! Have you lost yourself in the demands of motherhood? Have you wondered if it’s possible to care for yourself well in the midst of a full life?
Today’s show is a special one, featuring the first two chapters of my newest book, Remaining You While Raising Them: The Secret Art of Confident Motherhood.
This is not a parenting book about your children- those books are already out there! This is a motherhood book, and it’s about you.
I wrote Remaining You While Raising Them to help women find freedom from the heavy weight of modern motherhood. I can’t give you a step-by-step plan to raise perfect children (an impossible dream!), but I can help you thrive as a happier, healthier mom.
Listen in on these audio chapters to hear:
- One thing that bonds all moms together (besides our fierce love for our children)
- Personal stories from my own motherhood journey with five sons
- The shocking truth about the greatest gift we can give our kids
- Why motherhood is not just about what you do, but who you are (and what your kids will remember)
