This book explains many of the everyday stresses that working mothers endure, such as jobs, relationships, social media comparisons, and mom guilt. It describes the most effective ways to identify the major stressors in our lives and outlines the best methods to handle our stress. There is an emphasis on friendships and social connections, marital relationships, boundaries, exercise, getting outside into nature, journaling, practicing gratitude, and so much more. The author describes techniques that she has used successfully over the years while working full-time in the NICU and raising three children.

Being a mother is hard. No matter how much you love your children, raising a human being is a big responsibility. With the endless demands of child care, mothers are at high risk for physical & emotional exhaustion.

Whether you are a working mom or a stay-at-home mom, you may be at risk for getting burned-out. Childcare needs can escalate when kids are ill, out of school, or one child is demanding or has special needs. Household duties are a constant chore & lack of help from your husband or partner adds to your sense of overwhelm. (Single mothers have to do it all!)

When mothers get burned-out, they tend to distance themselves from their kids to preserve their energy. Then they notice a loss of fulfillment in mothering, feel guilty, or feel like they are a “bad mother.” Moreover, for working mothers, they may lose compassion in their work and their co-workers. They feel unhappy, grow cynical, & ultimately feel less accomplished. My personal and professional experiences can help you.
