Still Me, Not Just a Mother: 100 Truths for Finding Yourself Again After Kids

You didn't lose yourself. You set her down to carry everyone else.

There comes a moment — usually somewhere between the school run and the third load 

of laundry — when you catch your own reflection and don't quite recognize her. You 

wonder when you became the woman who apologizes for existing, who has forgotten 

what brings her joy, who is living everyone else's version of her life.

Still Me, Not Just a Mother is for that moment.

Across 100 short, honest truths, this book names what so many mothers feel but 

rarely say out loud: the guilt of wanting rest, the grief of a body and a marriage 

that changed, the ache of a friendship that couldn't keep up, the quiet loss of a 

name that became a title. Each truth is a small permission slip — to rest, to 

want, to ask, to take up space again in a life that has asked so much of you.

This isn't a parenting book. It won't tell you how to get your kids to sleep or 

eat their vegetables. It's a book about — the woman underneath the 

mothering, who is still in there, still becoming.

Inside, you'll find truths on:

– The identity loss no one warns you about

– Releasing guilt that was never yours to carry

– Rebuilding intimacy and equality in your partnership

– Grieving who you were without regretting who you are

– Reclaiming friendships, purpose, and your own name

– Small, daily permissions to choose yourself

Read it start to finish, or open to any page when you need reminding. However you 

meet it, this book will tell you the truth you already know somewhere underneath it all:

You are still you. Not just a mother — though you are that too.

A meaningful gift for a new mom, a tired mom, a friend going through a hard 

season, or yourself.
