More Time, Money, Energy, and Space for Mothers
The journey into motherhood is a profound and transformative experience for women, characterized by significant physical and mental changes. Yet, once the baby arrives, the focus and support often shift entirely towards the care of the child, leaving the well-being of the mother overlooked.
Expecting It All: More Time, Money, Energy, and Space for Mothers is a book that provides guidance for mothers to reclaim their dreams while offering resources to empower them on their unique journey.
