Do you miss your "old self?" Or are you too busy to think beyond the next meal or load of laundry? Becoming a Mom creates a huge identity shift for most women, especially those who have left behind a career, friends, and a paycheck. Becoming a Mojo Mom means feeling that creative surge as you bring yourself and your dreams back into focus.

Whether you've been a Mom for three months or thirteen years, the challenge is to find ways to lovingly nurture yourself as well as you care for the rest of your family. It can be done!

Mojo Mom is the first book that feels like your own voice, finally saying what it really means to be a Mom. This unique guide does more than just identify the challenges of motherhood; it gives you dozens of tools—ideas, activities, books, gadgets, and other quality resources—for nurturing every part of the Mojo Mom life. Enjoy!

Learn practical ways to:

* Prepare to become a Mom without losing your identity
* Survive and thrive during the intense early years
* Save some of your best energy and creativity for yourself
* Branch out little by little, as you have time and interest
* Tend to your ideas and dreams, even if you can't act on them right away
* Re-enter the workforce or take a new path with confidence
* Make peace with chaos. A messy house means you're busy doing something more important!

Synopsis:
For women facing the challenge of integrating a personal sense of identity into motherhood, this guide provides the necessary tools, ideas, activities, and other resources to nurture every aspect of the mojo life. For women adjusting to a new life, especially those who left a career, friends, and a pay cheque to stay home with children, this resource explains how to make the transition to motherhood without losing a sense of self, how to save creativity and energy for personal use, and how to negotiate a fair and satisfying division of family labour. Maintaining a lifelong view of a woman's career, this title encourages mothers to keep exploring interests, even during the intense years of early motherhood, in order to ensure a confident re-entry into the workplace.
