Book excerpt: Real, Raw, Honest, Unfiltered Essays on Motherhood Social media has made us feel like we must do all the things and do them perfectly. Be the perfect mom, post the perfect pictures, and have perfect, well-behaved children. But what if you're not perfect? When everyone else is putting their best face forward, I decided to write about the hidden side of motherhood. The uncomfortable parts I'm not proud to share. As a mom for the last twenty-one years, I have felt utterly alone at times. I wrote the book that I needed when I felt like I was drowning in failure. Mistakes don't make you a bad mom, they make you a real mom. I wrote this book for every mom who has ever felt like she failed her children. For every mom who has ever made a mistake. For every mom who has ever felt the isolating loneliness of motherhood, even when surrounded by tiny humans. For every mom scrolling through her social media feed thinking she is the only one who's not so perfect. For every mom everywhere, no matter how you choose to parent. This book will take you on an emotional rollercoaster, from very heavy topics to light and funny. Hang on tight, because you are in for a ride.
