Mama Rising: Discovering the New You Through Motherhood

by Amy Taylor-Kabbaz

Practical and helpful insights for mothers to reconnect with themselves, amidst the day-to-day responsibilities of motherhood.

Are you struggling to figure out who you are now that you're a mama?
Do you feel like you're coming last in your own life?
Do you feel guilty for not loving every moment of this motherhood gig?

As someone who used to put themselves last-- doing everything she thought was 'right' for her children and family, but not really listening to what her body and her spirit was begging for--Amy understands first-hand the overwhelm and complex range of emotions that mothers face.

Amy's background as a journalist set her on the path to uncover all that she could about the latest research on matrescence, the transition a woman undergoes when she becomes a mother. She now shares what she's learned in the hope that it will help you navigate this stage of your life.

Mama Rising includes interviews with experts, case studies and Amy's own tried-and-tested advice on how to reconnect with the woman you are underneath all that washing, cleaning and caring.

Full of useful and empowering insights that will help you change the way you feel about motherhood--and yourself--so you and your whole family can flourish.

Overall a good read on the transformation into a mother that’s not talked about often, there were parts that I didn’t agree with though.

I didn’t know just how much I needed to read this. All the anger, all the fear I feel is so perfectly described. Not just a journey of motherhood but also yourself as a mother, a wife and a friend. Not once did the words come across judgemental but rather like somebody else knew exactly what my brain was thinking, even the thoughts I like to keep down low. Thank you Amy.
