The Perfect Book for New Moms

Are you a new or expecting mom? This book is for you!

Enjoy bite-size chunks of text each with quirky illustrations – perfect for a tired new mother.

This book discusses lesser-talked about topics like: feeling overwhelmed bringing the baby home, dealing with sleep deprivation, being let down, setting boundaries, dealing with the general public, feeling lost or down, changing identity and feeling alone.

If you’re tired, more tired than you’ve ever been in your life, like you’ve unlocked a new level of tired that you didn’t know existed, then you are a mom. This is an incredibly hard part of the journey, and you are doing so well… …you are such a great mom.

…sometimes people take a new baby as an invitation. A baby is not an invitation. They are a tiny person who is completely dependent on you, takes up all of your time and stretches you to your limit.

This is not a good time for you to need to host people, or cater to their emotions. This is the time for you to be taken care of by others. This is a time for you to feel safe within the fortified walls of your boundaries with whatever you need to heal emotionally, physically, psychologically, and spiritually.

Why I wrote For a New Mom

One night around 3am, I was sitting on the sofa with my tiny baby sleeping in my arms, and I started to think about all the things I wanted and needed to hear.

I thought about how comforting it would be to have the inner thoughts of another mother to help me through that time. A full year later, the idea came to me again and, while all my feelings of being a new mother were still fresh enough in my mind, I decided to write this book.
