- Book Synopsis
- Our modern, Western societal understanding of what happens to a woman when she becomes a mother-beyond emotional rollercoasters and healing her pelvic floor-largely remains uncharted territory. The transition to motherhood actually takes two to three years, not six weeks or three months as we've been led to believe. Mothershift offers a supportive, affirming road map to take women through that transformational process. Jessie Harrold introduces her "map for your becoming," a research-based, four-phase model that maps out how the transition to motherhood unfolds-and helps women to navigate every step along the way. She has used this model to guide thousands of women through the shift into motherhood. Harrold also includes self-inquiry questions and journal prompts in each chapter to help women identify and thrive amidst the cascade of changes they can expect as they enter motherhood. Topics include: Normalizing the feelings of grief and loss of self you may feel along the way, Navigating the discomfort of not knowing who you are anymore now that you're a mother; Guiding you to cultivate a sense of empowerment and leadership in motherhood, showing you how mothering is a counterculture act; Showing you how to use the "superpowers" that motherhood can offer-self-tending, creativity, embodiment, ritual, community, inner knowing, and earth connection; Gently guiding you to explore who you are becoming and more. Mothershift offers a wise, inspiring, and practical view of what it can look like when women are supported and encouraged to experience motherhood as a doorway to becoming more deeply in touch with who they are-and what is possible in their lives. It is a vision for an experience of motherhood that is understood as a rite of passage filled with power and potential.
