Reclaim The Joy of Motherhood: How I Defeated Postpartum Depression (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9780991294305)

Pamela Zimmer is a Stay-at-Home Mom, bestselling author & speaker, dedicated to bringing awareness to and supporting women with Postpartum Depression. She has two beautiful boys, Zackery and Brayden, and a loving husband, Will. As with most women, there is more to Pamela than just being a Mom. She was an Architect by profession and after more than thirteen years of working in the industry, seven of which she ran her own successful business, Pamela took a leap of faith to follow her heart. She had always wanted to have a successful career, but she couldn't ignore her true passion and life purpose of being a Stay-at-Home Mom. Just before her second son was born, Pamela quit her career for Motherhood. The decision was one of the hardest she had ever had to make, but it was also one of the most rewarding. Being able to stay home and care for her children was what she wanted more than anything. What Pamela didn't anticipate was the struggle she encountered with Postpartum Depression. She thought she was prepared for it, being proactive in her determination not to "get it." What she didn't realize was that Postpartum Depression is not anything you can predict, prevent or even really prepare for. On her blog, Stories of A Mom, Pamela writes about her experience with Postpartum Depression, as well as every day experiences and inspirations with her two boys. A bestselling author, she finds joy in her writing, and is not afraid to be honest (because sometimes life isn't always pretty). Pamela has truly found healing and peace through her writing, and she invites you to be a part of her journey both through her blog and with her book, Reclaim The Joy of Motherhood. By sharing her story Pamela hopes to inspire other women who are ready to make a big life change, as well as providing support for women going through Postpartum Depression. She is always willing to listen, and is never afraid to speak from her heart.
