Crushing Motherhood: Find peace and happiness in motherhood by improving wellbeing through better health and inner-life management

Book Synopsis: Are you part of the awesome community that is motherhood? And are you occasionally overwhelmed by everything that entails? Do you occasionally sit still and wonder how it can be the most horribly challenging and simultaneously breathtakingly beautiful thing you’ve ever done? Who are we kidding? Like you ever sit still!

It’s no secret that "mumming around" can be overwhelming. Exhaustion, anxiety, mum guilt and fear can all come into play alongside the love and desire to mum around really well. If this resonates, this book is for you.

Taking a lighthearted but informative approach, author Fenella Buchanan strives to leave her readers feeling positive about the enormity of motherhood in our modern world. She discusses how elements of it can actually benefit our physical, mental and emotional wellbeing and how the key to getting it right for ourselves is being able to tap into our own instincts. Instincts that are easier to listen to if we are operating at optimum wellness.

To help with this, Fenella investigates some tools and guiding principles for improving wellbeing and shares ideas on how to implement them and ultimately find a greater sense of peace and happiness in motherhood.

In Crushing Motherhood you will find well researched discussions around the following tools and guiding principles:

• Identify a purpose in life
• Be of service to others
• Nurture community connections
• Practice gratitude
• Meditate
• Be curious and learn
• Spend time in nature

• Minimise the clutter
• Sleep well
• Eat well
• Exercise enough

You will also find some practical tips on how to incorporate these tools and guiding principles into the busy life of motherhood, without them becoming onerous to an already packed mumming around schedule.

Crushing Motherhood is a great self care book for women. It will ultimately help you become an altogether more peaceful, joyful and happier you, so you can parent your children with the love they deserve.
