Books
Ever since I penned my first novel – a masterpiece handwritten on looseleaf paper when I was ten – I have been a writer.
My books are about how women navigate times of life transition and rites of passage; they are part non-fiction, part memoir, part social commentary, and always all heart.
Mother Becoming
Mother Becoming explores the emerging concept of matrescence, the word used to describe the transition to motherhood. A collection of scholarly articles, essays and poems, Mother Becoming unearths the multidimensional, kaleidoscopic nature of matrescence while also highlighting research, policy and practice recommendations to better support mothers.
Mothershift
Award-winning Mothershift is a supportive guide for the transition into motherhood, known as matrescence, which takes 2-3 years to traverse, not 6 weeks or 3 months like we've been led to believe. Heralded as "an essential read for all new mothers," Mothershift offers mothers a map to help them navigate matrescence as well as resources to help them thrive during this transformative time.
Project Body Love
Project Body Love is the story of my quest to find acceptance, respect, and maybe even love for my body after spending a lifetime counting calories and drops of sweat. Project Body Love explores the complexity of being a fat person in a thin-obsessed world, and concludes with an entirely new perspective on the elusive body love – one that was surprising, even to me.
