Publisher's Summary

You were someone before pregnancy and parenthood - but where did that person go?

Motherhood is a gift of unimaginable love and happiness. But in between playdates and naptime, you can’t help but miss certain things from your old life...and answering to your real name instead of “Mom”.

The identity collision of becoming a mother can leave you scrambling to reinvent yourself. With the glory of motherhood comes unexpected emotions of anger, anxiety, and even postpartum depression, as new responsibilities provide new challenges. In Happy Mom, Happy Kid, digital entrepreneur and Expert Secrets Academy founder Maria Luisa Montt and writer Zelmira Crespi reveal how to reclaim yourself from motherhood to positively impact your life and your family. With science-backed advice and true stories, this is your guide to overcoming matrescence (the psychological and emotional changes you go through after the birth of a child) and finding self-fulfillment as a successful mother - without surrendering your own identity.

You’ll discover:

  • Why guilt, shame, and unrealistic expectations are robbing you of joy - and skills to stop the cycle
  • What you can learn from the Happy Moms Study of over 600 women struggling to achieve a balanced life
  • Five facets of your identity to nurture to avoid becoming an all-in mom
  • Strategies to better pursue purpose and meaning - without depending on your kids
  • A weekly planner to stay on top of your own journey back to you. The day you become a mom, your heart doubles in size - but you need to save some space for yourself

Get Happy Mom, Happy Kid now to reconnect with the best version you can be for yourself and your child!
