About this listen
I wasn’t the kind of mother I wanted to be.
Raised in chaos and violence, I carried my wounds into early motherhood, young, overwhelmed, and repeating the very patterns I swore I’d never pass on. I screamed. I hit. I walked away when they needed me most. And eventually, I gave up custody of the children I loved more than anything.
This is not a redemption story with a neat bow. It’s a raw, unflinching memoir about what it takes to break generational cycles from the inside out. About failing -deeply- and still choosing to come back. About learning how to parent with intention after years of surviving on instinct. About becoming a professional nanny, and finding healing in the sacred, everyday moments of caregiving. And about finally, at age forty, being diagnosed with bipolar disorder, and starting to understand myself for the first time.
Remothering Myself is a story for anyone who’s ever felt like they were too far gone. It’s for mothers carrying guilt, for survivors learning how to live in their bodies, for cycle-breakers trying to raise children differently than they were raised.
It’s not just a book about motherhood. It’s a book about becoming.
