Exciting day: my new ebook is officially available - The Steady Mom's Freedom Guide: Joyful Motherhood on Your Own Terms!
Want to get a feel for it?
Here's an excerpt from the introduction:
"Freedom within a country is vital to the health and well-being of its residents—so is freedom as a mother. It allows us to shake off the mental and emotional limitations that hold us back. Freedom enables us to come into our own, to rise to our best selves.
It helps us become better mothers, better spouses, and better friends. In other words, freedom is a win-win.
Freedom is a prerequisite for joyful motherhood because so many voices shout at us when it comes to parenting. There are cultural voices, extended family’s voices, expert voices, as well as the ever-present voices of doubt and insecurity that rise from within. Freedom to be yourself quiets the clamor.
This ebook tackles two sides of freedom within parenting: practical freedom and soul freedom. Practical freedom represents those day-to-day decisions we make that feel so urgent in the moment and sap strength and energy fast. These include aspects of mothering life like decisions about screen time (yours and your kids), meal planning, and discipline.
Soul freedom chapters of the book focus more on the heart of the matter—being kind to ourselves in the midst of stress, lightening up, and viewing our kids through the eyes of grace."
What this book is
This book is a quick, encouraging, magazine-length read. Many of the short chapters have been revamped from posts on this blog.
I searched through the archives (of nearly 900 posts!) to locate the ones centered around the theme of freedom in motherhood. Then I revised and edited them, and put them together in this inspirational ebook. (This content is no longer available on the blog.)
