'Honest, tender, and deeply human, this book captures motherhood as it is actually lived. Small and unassuming, it holds powerful truths so many mothers live but rarely feel able to say out loud. Jacqueline writes with a gentle fierceness, holding the beauty and the difficulty of mothering side by side. Reading her words, I felt seen in the love, the exhaustion, the longing, and the deep complexity of becoming a mother. This is a book that understands the duality mothers carry and offers something profoundly rare: the experience of being seen.'
Dr Emma Bagnall, Clinical Psychologist, Matrescence Practitioner, Holistic Sleep Coach, and Mom 'A tender and powerful companion for the mother who has lost - or nearly lost - herself, and is quietly finding her way back home. This beautiful, accessible book gives language to what has long been invisibilized, honors the sacred, and helps make sense of the tenderness, gratitude, and rage that grow within us as our babies grow up. It reminds us that we were never "just" mothers. We are foundational to all that is healthy, decent, and restorative in this wounded world.'
