Is motherhood different than what you expected? Welcome to your journey! Like every birth experience is different, every mom's journey through early motherhood is unique. Much information and support are provided for labor and delivery, but once the baby comes, many moms look everywhere for answers and often come up with confusing, conflicting, and unrealistic advice. As we all know, social media usually shows postpartum motherhood as "perfect'. Parenting books claim their way is the "only and best" way. Friends and family have their own opinions. It's hard! What is a parent to do when postpartum life is not what you expected? This postpartum workbook was created with you in mind. It is all about helping you create a structure for your life with a baby and helping you manage your reality. It is full of resources to guide you toward the answers you are seeking without judgment. The workbook is designed so that you can start with the section that matters most to you. The self-assessments at the beginning of each section will help you understand what is "hard", "easy", "good", and "bad" from your perspective. It will help you discover your unique abilities and strengths, and how to use resources, so you can find the joy you deserve in parenting.

What moms are saying: "This book is so helpful because it would be the perfect thing to read to prepare yourself for the mental/physical changes after having your baby, and then once baby arrives it was so helpful for me to process all the things I was actually going through- it’s one thing to have people ask you how you’re doing and another to have a place that is providing guided self reflection and then providing answers and ways to get support. Such a good resource." "I had an incredibly challenging 4th trimester, and this book was so helpful for me to feel seen. There were so many practical tips and a wealth of information. Highly recommend for yourself or as a gift for any expectant moms in your life!"
