About this listen
Is motherhood not what you expected?
If you are struggling to enjoy motherhood after having your baby and feel horrible guilt and isolation, then this book will be one of the most important books you will ever listen to to give you the validation, relief, and resources you need to be a confident, happy mom. Have you felt like what you’re experiencing isn’t just postpartum depression? What you’re experiencing may be something Marissa calls postpartum regret. Unfortunately, this is a very taboo topic rarely talked about and many moms feel alone, ashamed, and embarrassed to open up and share honestly about this sensitive topic.
Other moms have overcome these feelings and you can too!
It’s perfectly okay to struggle with enjoyment after having a baby. You can be confident and happy with your role as a mother even if you don’t enjoy the actual job of parenting. You’ll hear stories and quotes from real moms voicing their struggles. Marissa is also very open and vulnerable about sharing her own experiences… “When my daughter was born, I found myself hating being a mom. This experience was not at all what I expected, and I felt so lost and alone."
More than just offering hope, you’ll get real solutions on how to increase your enjoyment and satisfaction with parenting leading to greater happiness for everyone. You’ll be given tips and strategies on how to put yourself first, let go of guilt, re-evaluate limiting beliefs around parenting, connect and find your tribe of mothers, and feel like yourself once again.
You can be happy again
It’s Marissa’s greatest wish to help ALL mothers feel better about themselves and their babies. If you’re ready to get the support you need to get your life back, then you’re invited to get your copy of Postpartum Happiness today.

Story
Most mothers have experienced exhaustion, pain, forgetfulness, indecision, low energy levels, moodiness, or some form of baby brain. And it's no wonder: The process of growing a baby depletes a mother's body in substantial ways. But with postnatal care ending after six weeks, most women never learn how to rebuild their strength and care for their bodies after childbirth. As a result, they can suffer from the effects of depletion for many years, without knowing what's wrong as well as getting the support and treatments that they need.

Raising physically, mentally, and emotionally healthy children has never been more difficult. In the past, the influences a child was exposed to were limited, directly observable and could be controlled, but with the growth of technology, the proliferation of social media and the general air of growing paranoia and divide in today's society, parenting has become a challenge with far too many ways things could go wrong...if you are not on your toes and prepared.

Rachel used to be a mom who spent her days weary, anxious, and guilt laden. She had five kids in five years, lived on three different continents, and then was blindsided by a devastating health diagnosis. Neglecting her own physical, spiritual, mental, and emotional needs for so long—in an effort to be a selfless mother—had left her utterly depleted. And physically unwell. Then she began asking a question she’d never considered before: Could it be that taking good care of myself is not actually selfish, but maybe, just maybe, something a responsible adult does?

Story
In this emotionally charged how-to guide, you'll laugh, you'll cry, and you'll discover eye-opening lessons about: The mask you're wearing. The one you hide behind when you say everything is "just fine" when it's not. Your unrealistic expectations. The goal-setting tactics you're deploying to get ahead could be what's holding you back. The difference between struggling and suffering. Being a mother is a struggle - it always has been - but your suffering is optional.

Story
One of the main topics of cultural conversation during the last decade was the supposed "fertility crisis" and whether modern women could figure out a way to have it all - a successful, demanding career and the required 2.3 children - before their biological clocks stopped ticking. Now, however, conversation has turned to whether it's necessary to have it all (see Anne-Marie Slaughter) or, perhaps more controversial, whether children are really a requirement for a fulfilling life.

Dr. Klein reveals the new science behind drivers such as resilience, self-reliance, self-regulation, and empathy that are more critical to success than simple intelligence.

Story
Parenting isn't rocket science, it's just brain surgery. And Dr. Joshua Straub has good news for you: You can do it! You don't need to do all the "right" things as a parent. Both science and the Bible show us that the most important thing we can provide for our kids is a place of emotional safety. In other words, the posture from which we parent matters infinitely more than the techniques of parenting. Emotional safety - more than any other factor - is scientifically linked to raising kids who live, love, and lead well.

End has great banishing-shame content
The individual story may be difficult for a non-cis average-income households to identify with. The end has great content about banishing shame. Short book with a needed perspective. Take what you need, leave the rest.
