Continue to have and grow your life, Mom. It's better for you and your kids. When did being a good mom come to mean giving up everything that used to make you . . . you? That's the question millions of 21st-century mothers grapple with every day as they muddle through our kid-centric culture. Contrary to incessant messaging, not always putting your kids first-not sacrificing your own free time, enjoyment, and dreams so your kids can have your full attention every day-is what makes for a good mother. With Honey, I Can't Find My Self, popular journalist and Good Morning America parenting expert Ericka Sóuter shares her tips for being a happy, whole person while still being a wonderful (and sometimes just good enough, which is plenty good) parent. Sóuter blends her own stories of surviving the seismic challenges of becoming a parent with testimonials from stay-at-home and working moms, interviews with therapists and researchers, and findings from the latest studies on happiness, self-care, and parenthood. What she delivers is a wonderfully irreverent survival guide to motherhood. Here, you'll find advice on keeping your career on track while parenting, handling clueless and unhelpful partners, taking back ownership of your body, creating a reliable village of support (even with moms you didn't think you'd like), staying connected with child-free friends, and what to do if you feel like you're missing the "mom gene.
