(Yes, including what you are skeptical of accomplishing right now). This book is a balance of tough, "no excuses" ways of approaching life, while allowing breathing room and grace for yourself, for as we all know, life and mothering are not perfect.Īfter inspiring and conversing with thousands of women, Rachel has surmised there is always a reason to hope, to move forward and a reason to dare doing what you thought was impossible.
She challenges you to find the courage to break cycles, to take off masks and not let fear take control. Inspired by her incredible story, Rachel's words always come straight from the gut they are visceral, real and soul searching. but really, this book is about finding yourself again and following your passion WHILE being a mom. I received a copy of this book from the publisher, through Net Galley.Yes, this book is about motherhood. I would highly recommend this book for any mother who needs a boost. She shared stories from her life, as well as offered encouragement for all mothers. I appreciated how Rachel was transparent and honest.
We just have to retrain our brains to focus on particular parts of our lives.” “We can easily see the negative and miss the good. “But you don’t get to a mile until you decide that you are worth fighting for the first inch.” “If you want to break whatever unending and hopeless cycle you’re in, you have to start with you.” Be fearless and tomorrow will be different.” “Choosing to mutter ‘It’s no big deal.’ or ‘I’m fine’ is choosing to stay stuck.” “Bravery doesn’t get awarded during the smooth-sailing times of life but rather is unearthed in the times when our tears fall, when our strength gives out, when we push beyond what we think we are capable of.” Some quotes that really stood out to me include: I have never gone through what Rachel has, but her book still inspired me in my own daily challenges. Rachel has 7 children, went through a divorce, and financial hardship, and yet she was able to pull herself up and now motivate other mothers to do the same throughout their struggles. Rachel Martin felt like one of these companions as I read her book “The Brave Art of Motherhood”. But it can also be a beautiful joy, and is a journey best traveled with encouraging companions.
