What do you get when you mix the following ingredients?
- One part control freak
- Ounces and ounces of a big, colicky newborn
- Equal parts pride and feminine independence
- A pinch of pre-disposition towards anxiety
- Two workaholics turned new parents
- Tossed with tons of mommy myths and cultural norms?
Voila! “Scrambled New Mama Hash”, otherwise known as ‘me’ after the birth of my first child while suffering from the lesser known postpartum anxiety. Fortunately, I found PPPSS. Over time, with the encouragement of our facilitator and the other moms, I processed and developed solutions to overcome many challenges.
After my experience with postpartum anxiety, I was inspired to write for other moms in hopes of providing comfort and insight as they start their journey. I also wanted to find a way to give back to PPPSS. The result was a book titled, Motherhood – Your First 100 Days.
Designed for the tired, busy new mom, some of the key benefits of the book include:
Bite-sized educational tips
Convenient daily format
Quotes, and reflections
Guided journaling
Notes for new dads in
“Husband Huddles”
Your First 100 Days coaches the reader through the changes and the challenges of motherhood related to body, identity, relationships, work, and emotions. To further help moms in their adjustment and recovery, it also promotes habits of gratitude and self-care. To read testimonials, samples page, and buy the book please visit: www.100daymom.com
Choose from the $10 e-book (downloadable PDF) or the $20 printed version. Plus, $1 from each book is donated to PPPSS.
I also want to say a special ‘thank you’ to Sheila Duffy for being my group facilitator, one of my Telephone Support Volunteer trainers, and the number one cheerleader of this book.
