Our modern, Western societal understanding of what happens to a woman when she becomes a mother largely remains uncharted territory. Mothershift offers a supportive, affirming road map to take women through the cascade of identity change and transformation that is motherhood.

Jessie Harrold introduces her “map for your becoming,” a research-based, four-phase model that maps out how the transition to motherhood unfolds—and helps women to navigate every step along the way. Harrold also includes self-inquiry questions and journal prompts in each chapter to help women identify and thrive amidst the cascade of changes they can expect as they enter motherhood. Her wise, inspiring, and practical approach shows what it can look like when women are supported and encouraged to experience motherhood as a rite of passage filled with power and potential.
