Unraveling Motherhood

A unique exploration on the transformative experience of motherhood.

Written by a mother of two and a journalist, Unraveling includes conversations and unique insights about self-care, mental health, identity, vulnerabilities, and more. This book is a toolkit for new mothers and struggling mothers who are lost in the blur of the voices in their minds, the mental load, and the overwhelm.

Each chapter discusses aspects of motherhood, all pertaining to how one navigates this role. Included within chapters will be insights to help look at situations differently and listen to one's mind in appropriate ways with added discussions with psychologists, exercises, and journaling. Unraveling is good. Stitching up is better. But when the pattern is not working out the way we were hoping, we must first unravel to start again.

"In many ways, motherhood asks us to look outside of ourselves as we begin to unravel, yet so profoundly and heavily within ourselves. It asks us to understand the intensity inside our minds which translates into our actions, to understand this baffling and unspoken transformation into the glorious woven empire of motherhood, to recover and uncover who we are, who we become and what that means in the context of who we want to be." --Geraldine Walsh
