My Books

When I found out I was pregnant with my daughter in 2006, I was overwhelmed. Actually, that’s probably the biggest understatement of my life. I was terrified and had no direction.

Do I work? Should I be a stay-at-home mom? What do I do about school? Should we (my boyfriend and I) get married? Where will we live? And so on and so on.

But every pregnancy book and mommy “how-to” guide approached the topic from a fairly one-dimensional viewpoint: they assumed all moms were married, with a six-figure job, a four bedroom house, and a host of family and friends who were completely over the moon about the new addition to the family.

Well. That wasn’t my experience at all.

Since I couldn’t find that book or that magazine that I could relate to, I created it myself. In May 2011, the first of five books, Make It Happen: The Young Mommy Guide To Creating The Career You Crave, hit the web, available in a variety of formats for your pleasure. It is available in paperback or as an ebook.

This is the first ebook in a series, designed to help young mothers (to steal a line from Oprah) “live their best life.” I want you to wake up happy, feel confident, have loving relationships, raise smart, happy, healthy kids, and have enough energy left over to take care of numero uno properly. As moms, we hold up this world. If we can all tap into our power, my, the possibilities are endless.

So I’m gathering stories from young moms about the things they felt they’ve done right and what they would change if given a chance with the Control-Alt-Delete buttons.

I’m putting together a group of 100+ moms for the books – my own personal Tell It Like It Is crew. Once part of the crew, you’ll be asked your opinion on everything from breastfeeding, to job interviews, to finding a good babysitter, to feeling lonely. GREAT stuff.
