What were you told about becoming a mother before you joined the ranks? That the love for your children would be unparalleled? That you’d willingly sacrifice everything for their well-being? That your life would undergo a radical transformation? I was told all of this, and to some extent, it turned out to be accurate.
However, there were also many misconceptions I encountered… like the belief that parenting would strengthen your relationship, or that things would eventually get simpler, or the ridiculous idea that having kids keeps you youthful. I once bought into these notions and questioned why I felt so out of sync. After a few kids, I realized: they’re all fabrications! Vicious fabrications.
This is exactly what my upcoming book, Motherhood Comes Naturally (And Other Vicious Lies), delves into: the misleading statements we received about the most rewarding yet challenging job, and the falsehoods some of us continue to perpetuate to new mothers, almost like a twisted initiation rite. Can you relate? I hope so. The book will be available in just three weeks!
While you could choose to wait until it hits your local bookstore, ordering it now is a much smarter option. Why, you ask?
Firstly, it’s how my publisher measures success and decides on future tour stops. Secondly, it alleviates my anxiety over “OMG, no one is going to buy the book, I should just give up and stay in bed,” which has been a daunting thought lately. And thirdly, by pre-ordering, you’ll be entered into the most exciting giveaway I’ve ever organized!
What’s the giveaway, you ask? To boost those pre-sales, I’m offering five incredible packs filled with my favorite products from fantastic brands like Kelly Moore, Ouidad, Lucky Jeans, and AT&T. Each pack is worth over $1000 and is absolutely fabulous. Who wouldn’t want one? Click here for more information. And don’t forget to grab your copy of the book!
