Motherhood, for those of us for whom it was never in the cards, can shift the tectonic plates of your being and, in the process, level the life built upon them. Embracing this will shake you to the core and catalyze an expansion that swallows the life you leave behind whole-allowing you to live fully, heal the deepest parts of yourself, and emerge anew, not redesigned but renovated, able to create magic in your life in a way that you might not have accessed without this massive "disruption."

Our culture teaches us that it's about balance. Finding time for yourself, making sure you take care of your own needs. I call bullshit. Balance isn't going to cut it for the kind of women this book is written for.

This book is a guide to motherhood from a completely different perspective. It's about energy management, soul management. It's not about balancing your checkbook and budgeting your time; it's about creating a radical shift in who you are.
