This isn't a parenting book.

This isn't a guide to being a perfect parent (spoiler: they don't exist)

This is a book about you.

We can only anchor, nurture, nourish and instill confidence in our children when we extend the same support to ourselves. After all, how can we effectively tend to our children's needs when our energy reserves are depleted? How can we lead by example and teach our children the importance of healthy self-esteem if we are struggling with these things ourselves? There are a thousand and one ways to parent, and only one way that's authentic for you.

Drawing on her work as a psychotherapist, alongside her own experiences as a mother, Anna shows that caring with our children begins with caring for ourselves, and it's time to replace exhaustion with empowerment. Far from being selfish, self-care is an essential quality of a happier mother good parent. The greatest gift you can give to to yourself and your children, is to give yourself permission to thrive.

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

Calm Reading/Sound Advice

I liked the voice. It was so calming. The advice given is definitely worth the listen. It seems like common sense but the detail in which she goes has you feeling and thinking “I’ve never would have thought of it that way or seen it that way.”

There was nothing in this that was useful.

I guess it’s well written, but nothing in this book was particularly insightful and there were no real tips on how to actually take care of ourselves more. It was just more “you really should take care of yourself.”
