How to Lose Your Mother is Molly's delicious and despairing memoir about an intense mother-daughter relationship, a sometimes chaotic upbringing with a fame-hungry parent, and how that can really mess you up.

As a pediatrician, Katrina Ubell, MD, always struggled with her weight—she was either 40 pounds overweight, or struggling to lose that weight. Although she'd regularly counsel parents on the importance of keeping their kids healthy and fostering good eating habits, Dr. Ubell, as a busy professional, was never able to do the same for herself. Like everyone else, she tried many different diets and programs, but would always regain the weight.

As successful as we are as working moms, we all sometimes feel like a hot mess. We take care of our businesses, clients, staff, and projects, and then return home to take care of the demands there. At the end of the day, so many responsibilities fall on our shoulders. At times we screw up, but we do the best we can. And that is wonderful! You are wonderful. But you don’t just need cheerleaders or concepts for empowerment. You need real tools to help you ease the struggle and make changes in your business—and in life.
