MOTHERSHIFT

Becoming a mother is so much more than just birthing or taking care for a tiny being. With a baby on the way and in your life, it seems all is about what to DO next, but never about how to FEEL - how you feel. To find your way in this shift takes two to three years and this is where Jessie Herrold steps in offering a supportive, affirming road map to take women through that transformational process.

Our modern societal understanding of what happens to a woman when she becomes a mother beyond emotional rollercoasters and healing her pelvic floorlargely remains uncharted territory. The transition to motherhood actually takes two to three years, not six weeks or three months as we've been led to believe. Jessie Harrold introduces her "map for your becoming," a research-based, four-phase model that maps out how the transition to motherhood unfolds and helps women to navigate every step along the way. She has used this model to guide thousands of women through the shift into motherhood. Harrold also includes self-inquiry questions, journal prompts, rituals, and nature- based experiences and exercises in each chapter to help women identify and thrive amidst the cascade of changes they can expect as they enter motherhood. Topics include: * Normalizing the feelings of grief and loss of self you may feel along the way; * Navigating the discomfort of not knowing who you are anymore now that you're a mother; * Guiding you to cultivate a sense of empowerment and leadership in motherhood, showing you how mothering is a counterculture act; * Showing you how to use the "superpowers" that motherhood offers: self-tending, creativity, embodiment, ritual, community, inner knowing, and earth connection to become powerful change agents in a world that desperately needs mothering; * Gently guiding you to explore who you are becoming; and much more. JESSIE HARROLD draws from her background as a doula, a life coach and mentor, a practitioner of yoga and reiki, and an herbalist and in eco-psychology, neuroscience, wilderness guidance, leadership, and therapyto support women through the transition to motherhood. She created the internationally acclaimed program for new mothers, called MOTHERSHIFT, and its sister program for postpartum professionals, THE VIILLAGE. #Family & Relationships, #Motherhood, #Self-Help, Self-Care
