Publisher Description: Motherhood doesn't have to mean losing yourself... Most moms are grateful they make the choice to be a stay-at-home mom (SAHM), but after a couple of years, they may feel like they're losing their mind. The alternative is going back to work, but that doesn't seem right either. Flex mom is for mothers who want a third model of motherhood, somewhere between stay-at-home mom and working mom. This third way is to be the primary caregiver for their children while deliberately creating a path that fuels their passions - leaving them fulfilled and confident. Described as a melting pot of positive psychology and coaching, with the humor and honesty of Anne Lamott's Bird by Bird, Flex Mom helps moms make the fleeting childrearing years their best yet. |
Contributor Bio(s): Blanchard, Sara: - "Much like laundry, Sara Blanchard's life runs in cycles. After graduating from Harvard, the financial cycle took her to Tokyo, Hong Kong, and New York. The wellness cycle trained her in life coaching and positive psychology. The parenting cycle - not a cycle, more commitment, call it permanent press - saw her struggling as a stay-at-home mom until she found a better way and founded the Flex Mom movement. On the heels of this book, she has launched a Flex Mom program to help support mothers who wish to clear enough space to pursue their passions while continuing to be the primary caregivers for their children. Sara and her family call Denver home. Sara current lives in Denver, CO" |
