Modern motherhood is fraught with contradictions and oh so difficult to navigate. Balancing out your fierce and all-consuming love with the desire to just be left in peace for a few minutes, juggling the pressure to put someone else's needs first with the sense that you're losing your grasp of the person you once were ... it's all too easy to feel confused, angry and, well, lost.

Jacqueline Kelly knows how you feel and knows how to help. Her honest, compassionate writing is a soothing balm to anyone going through the heady cocktail of confusion, joy, rage and adoration that is new motherhood.

About the Author

Jacqueline is a certified life coach and trainee psychotherapist for mums who feel like they've lost sight of themselves in motherhood. She helps them get very clear and confident about who they are now at this stage of their motherhood journey. Jacqueline has spent years challenging the unrealistic standards of motherhood that we are encouraged to aspire to and in doing this has redefined what's possible not just for her but for the mothers that she works with.
