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.
"Mothershift will help mothers remember themselves whole. Jessie Harrold’s loving and intuitive approach is deeply welcoming, reassuring, and so hopeful. It is the book all mothers need." —Lisa Olivera, author of Already Enough
"Mothershift is a beautiful companion to anyone going through the transformative rite of passage of motherhood. Jessie Harrold has gifted us an intelligent, well-researched, and tender book. If you find yourself asking, ‘What is going on?’ or ‘Is this normal?’ this is the book for you." —Britta Bushnell, PhD, author of Transformed by Birth
"A richly nuanced, gorgeously written book that treads fearlessly into the paradoxes of early motherhood, simultaneously honoring its many hardships and illuminating its potential for transformation and empowerment. By turns poetic and scholarly, personal and political, Mothershift provides a map for navigating the complex landscape of matrescence. In essence, what Jessie Harrold offers her readers is permission: permission to feel whatever there is to feel, to be utterly rearranged, and even to 'lose yourself' in motherhood, trusting in her gentle and wise assurances that you will ultimately be found." —Molly Millwood, PhD, author of To Have and To Hold
