Motherhood is a life-changing rollercoaster journey full of highs and lows. Hang on tight and enjoy the ride! It can be exhilarating, enjoyable, exhausting and terrifying.

It really is the toughest, most important job you’ll ever love.

There are many pressures on families today. New mothers often have to navigate a minefield of conflicting advice and often parent without close networks around. Consequently, sometimes mothers of young children find themselves unexpectedly anxious, overwhelmed and unable to trust their instincts.

‘Heart Matters in Early Motherhood’ covers a wide range of issues that mothers of young children face, whether having an only child, a large brood, living in the golden zone or the war zone, staying at home or going out to work, married or raising children alone. Written by a psychologist and mother of three, this book captures the matters of the heart that often surface during early motherhood. With honesty and transparency, Sarah describes the challenges that she has faced, and provides encouragement and inspiration for mothers everywhere.
