Motherhood is a journey that has many learning curves. It requires a woman to be kind and gentle with herself. To show love and care to herself. To learn to set boundaries and trust her instincts. Self-care becomes an essential part of this process. By learning to prioritize her own needs, a woman takes an active part in the process of becoming her own friend and a happier mother, and is therefore better positioned to be able to better care for others, including her children.

This audiobook will explore the different aspects of motherhood and offer advice and support to mothers.

We burn out and become exhausted, but things don’t need to be this way! It’s definitely possible to take care of ourselves while still being the excellent parents we know we are.
