Let's be real: Motherhood is messy. It can be overwhelming and exhausting. And it can be gratifying and beautiful.
In this book, meditation guide, certified birth doula, and mother-of-five Rebekah Borucki shares a practical system to navigate the big and small trials of motherhood- filled with tears, tantrums, and other messes-without any of the guilt, resentment, and burnout. She also teaches you how to celebrate the tiny triumphs and find calm in the chaos. Her system consists of five phases that build upon the wisdom of nature. The tools, stories, and exercises Rebekah offers will support you through almost anything mom life throws your way. She shares deeply personal, heartfelt stories, complete with abundant joy and immeasurable grief, as well as journaling assignments and simple meditations to guide your path toward peace and self-discovery. You'll learn how to prioritize self-care, combat the negative messages from your inner critic, and take care of your body by establishing a sleep routine, healthy diet, meditation practice, and more with ease.
You'll finish this book feeling present, grounded, and powerful; and ready to build a life you love with increased focus, less stress, and more energy to manage it all.
