Entry Level Mom (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781088281734)

Entry Level Mom is a book I wrote specifically about my transformation into motherhood. It is a motherhood memoir of sorts. The goal is to uplift, encourage and connect with mothers through honesty, positivity, and vulnerability.

Becoming a mother was an acutely confronting transition and transformation for me. I emerged as a mother slowly and cautiously; I was so disoriented that I found myself earnestly writing out my experiences to orient myself. I would reread my words and use them as a guide, and in doing so, I felt less lost, more found. As time went on, I devoted myself to chronicling my experience, and I wrote this. This book is my own personal, heartfelt take on the experience of becoming a mother.

In this book, I share my genuine and vulnerable tales with the promise of honesty, vulnerability, and positivity.

I've often heard the advice that you should write the book you need to read; that's exactly why I took seven whole years to write this book. I wrote down lessons, hilarious moments, triumphs, and failures. I wrote down what I thought I had figured out, only to edit and or delete a month later. Then, I sorted the stories by color, flavor and topic, and stitched them together like a patchwork quilt.

Becoming a mother is a monumental shift in every woman's life, yet the resources I could find on how to navigate this transformation are frankly scarce. As I journeyed into motherhood, I found an abundance of material on pregnancy and raising strong kids, but I found little to no dialogue on the enormous shift a woman goes through herself.

I know (and honor) that everyone's journey is unique, beautiful, and challenging in its own way. But how can we support each other if we're not willing to share our honest truths? That's why I'm sharing my own truth in this book. I'll be sharing my experiences, my feelings, my lessons, my perspective, that all led to growth. My hope is that my words will resonate and uplift.
