Newborn Mothers: When a Baby is Born, So is a Mother
The last thing newborn mothers need is another book.
Endless experts and advice undermine your intuition and confidence. Information overload doesn't help when you feel isolated, exhausted and overwhelmed. What you really need is a hot cup of tea, a good night’s sleep and a laundry fairy. (Sadly, these things can't fit inside a book!)
But Newborn Mothers is about doing less, not more. It answers your real questions about the transformation to motherhood including...
Is baby brain real? Are you actually losing your mind?
You heard it takes a village to raise a child, but what does that look like in the 21st century? And how do you build yours?
You were told these are the best days of your life. Are you the only one finding it this hard.
How this book failed…
This book started out as one of the most disappointing failures of my 15 years in business. After years of working with new families, I knew this kind of book was desperately needed. I had written most of the manuscript, and all I needed was the money for editing, cover design, printing and so on.
So I started a crowdfunding campaign, and failed to reach my target
I sent my manuscript to publishers but didn’t even get any replies.
So it took me another year to slowly save up self-fund and self-publish the book.
In 2018, I finally published it: Newborn Mothers: When a Baby is Born, So is a Mother.
I was so exhausted by the end of this process that I quietly published my book without much fanfare during the Christmas holidays, which is generally considered the worst month to launch a book.
I honestly didn’t do much to promote the book at all, just sent an email newsletter and went camping with my family.
… and then became a surprise bestseller!
A few weeks later I was away camping and offline with my family, I woke up to texts from everyone I knew!
My book was #3 on the Amazon Best Sellers list, next to the Barefoot Investor and Michelle Obama.
I actually STILL can’t really believe it… but it happened, here’s the pic to prove it!
Today, my book still sells hundreds of copies every year.
Every purchase includes a free audiobook!
One downside of self-publishing is there is no easy way to self-publish an audiobook. My book is available in print and ebook on all major platforms, but I knew I couldn’t publish a book for mums without offering an audiobook version.
So I decided to give it away for FREE.
Every purchase of the book (in print or ebook) includes a free audiobook.
You planned for the birth, then realised those books and classes did nothing to prepare you for the rest of your life as a mother.
Whether you are pregnant for the first time or your babies are growing up too fast, this book is your invitation to join a gentle, internal revolution in your heart and in your home.
This book is a sanctuary for your birth as a mother.
