With compassion and clarity, Honest Motherhood reveals that the path to becoming a more present parent begins with becoming a more whole woman.” —Dr. Shefali, clinical psychologist and New York Times bestselling author of The Conscious Parent"Libby is shifting the cultural narrative in a way that will echo for generations. HONEST MOTHERHOOD is a powerful blend of truth-telling and rebellion—a rallying cry for women to stop carrying what was never theirs to hold." —Eve Rodsky, New York Times bestselling author of Fair Play“Libby Ward has written the motherhood manifesto we didn’t know we needed. Read Honest Motherhood. Highlight it. Shove it into the hands of every mom you know.” —Jen Hatmaker, New York Times bestselling author and host of the For the Love podcastABOUT THE BOOKWhen Libby Ward became a mother, she thought she was prepared. Determined to give her kids a childhood dif­ferent from her own, she clung to the world’s “shoulds” like her children’s future depended on it. That was her first mistake.A couple of years later, with a toddler around her ankle, a needy baby in her arms, and yesterday’s dishes waiting in the sink, she found herself fantasizing about a hospital stay just to get a flippin’ break. With a silent rage coursing through her veins, she did what any over­achieving people pleaser would do—she wallowed in shame and tried harder. Self-care! Routine! Sleep when the baby sleeps! When it didn’t work, she wondered: Why, with so much advice at our fingertips, is mother­hood still so hard?In Honest Motherhood, Libby takes us on a journey of unlearning the myth of the ideal mother. She candidly shares the experiences many mothers have but few feel safe enough to say out loud—the lack of support, the mental load, the invisibility, the cycles they’re break­ing, and the longing to matter again. By untangling her social conditioning from her childhood trauma, Libby lets go of guilt, serves the chicken nuggets, and discov­ers that prioritizing herself isn’t selfish—it’s a necessity.Equal parts memoir and manifesto, flush with refreshing takeaways, Honest Motherhood is a rallying cry for moms to let go of perfection, choose themselves, and give their kids what they need most—a mother who is present and whole.LIBBY WARD is a writer, speaker, and advocate redefining the motherhood narrative.
