What expectations did you have about motherhood before joining this unique journey? Were you led to believe that the bond you would share with your child would be unparalleled? That you would willingly sacrifice anything for your child’s well-being? That your life would undergo a transformation beyond recognition? I was convinced of all these notions, and to a certain extent, they have held true.
However, there exist several misconceptions that I once accepted as truths. For instance, the idea that parenting enhances a relationship, that things will become easier with time, or the unrealistic belief that children somehow keep you youthful. In my earlier days, I accepted these statements, questioning my experiences and feelings. Now, after navigating the challenges of motherhood with a few children in tow, I’ve come to a startling realization: these are all falsehoods—vicious lies.
This awareness inspired my latest book, Motherhood Comes Naturally (And Other Vicious Lies), which delves into the misconceptions surrounding the most rewarding yet challenging role a person can undertake. It also addresses the misleading narratives that persist, almost like a rite of passage for new mothers. Can you relate? I hope you can. The book is set to be released in three weeks.
While you could wait for it to arrive at your local bookstore, ordering it now is much more beneficial. Why, you ask? Firstly, early orders are crucial for my publisher’s assessment of the book’s success and potential for more promotional events. Secondly, it alleviates my anxiety about the book’s reception—an anxiety that has grown increasingly intense. Lastly, pre-orders qualify you for an incredible giveaway featuring an array of my favorite items from brands like Kelly Moore, Ouidad, Lucky Jeans, and AT&T, with each package valued at over $1000. I can’t imagine anyone passing up such an opportunity. For details, click here, and then make sure to order the book!
