Full Description
Reclaim your energy and restore balance with help from an expert and mother who's been in your shoes
Repair with Self-Care: Your Guide to the Mom's Hierarchy of Needs by Leslie Forde is a transformative guide that addresses the overwhelming demands faced by working moms. By reshaping the narrative around energy management rather than time management (and how to access new sources of fuel), Forde offers a refreshing perspective on achieving a more aligned life. This book isn't about balancing work and home in the conventional sense; it's about investing in self-care to enhance all facets of life, allowing more opportunities for personal growth, enjoyment, and efficacy.
In the book, Forde presents a framework for prioritizing physical, emotional, and intellectual self-care. Through personal experiences and extensive research, she identifies the challenges unique to working moms, including those from other marginalized communities. This book is a call to action to stop deprioritizing yourself and to start using your energy differently to live a healthier and more fulfilling life.
Inside the book:
Learn to prioritize your needs without losing personal and professional momentum
Transform your approach to caregiving and career with practical strategies
Understand the importance of self-care in sustaining your social and emotional well-being
Repair with Self-Care is the perfect resource for mothers who combine hands-on, loving care for their children with growth in a demanding career. Employers committed to supporting working parents will also find valuable insights into retaining this vital segment of their workforce. By embracing Forde's strategies, moms can reclaim their energy and live more fulfilled, integrated lives.
