Dear New Moms, Friends and Families,

When I first became a mother, I was shocked to discover myself in the midst of an incredibly difficult challenge. There were times when I didn’t know whether I would survive it.

Since then, I have learned that new motherhood is often the most difficult part of a woman’s life. We each do the best we can with the resources we have, and yet sometimes life circumstances can overwhelm our coping skills.

At www.MommyMuse.com, my mother and I provide the very things we wished for when we were new mothers:

  • specialized counseling to support mothers through the life-altering challenges of new parenthood
  • empowering information gleaned not only from our years of helping others in online and face-to-face therapy, but from our own experiences with baby blues and postpartum depression as well.

As part of our commitment to share what really helps, we are introducing our new e-book:

The Essential Mommy-Muse Toolkit: 11 Empowering Keys for Your Journey into Motherhood

A self-coaching guide for you, as well as a guidebook for people who care about you and want to know what you need, and how they can help.

Includes free bonus: The Exclusive Mommy-Muse Journal Pages to help you use the Mommy-Muse Toolkit in your daily life!

As a new mother, many people expect you to make the most dramatic changes of your life almost instantly-

and to do so while you are exhausted, fragile, anxious, possibly dealing with postpartum depression or baby blues, full of self-doubt, and struggling to live in the twilight zone known as Baby Time.

Since our society fails to acknowledge this reality, family and friends are often confused about what you are supposed to do and feel, and don’t know how best to help you.

One prominent false belief is that by the time a birth mother has her postpartum 6-week checkup, she has managed to complete her adjustment – both physically and emotionally – to motherhood.

Another misconception is that adoptive mothers and stepmothers are likely to feel comfortable and happy in their new role right away, since they are not physically postpartum

In truth, adaptation to motherhood takes 24 months or longer. Each time.

Here are some symptoms familiar to many new mothers:
