Balance Is Bullsh*t

Redefine self-care to fit your real-life version of motherhood.Motherhood is a high stake, no joke endeavor. So is the amount of pressure society piles on moms. And the push for ';self-care' has become just another thing for moms to feel guilty about because, yet again, they can't live up to the unattainable idea of motherhood or how to balance it. Stepmom of four, birth mom of three, and adoptive mom of one, Elisha Beach is here to call bullshit on this unreachable balancing act. Beach is not a self-care guru. She's just another mom who found her way to that moment on the motherhood journey where she realized she had prioritized everyone else's needs while completely neglecting her own. When she realized things needed to change, she drew on her skills as a certified strategic planner and set out to rediscover what she needed to support the many roles she played, how to get her family on board, andmost importantly how to prioritize herself. Balance Is Bullsh*t: The Truth About Motherhood and Self-care shares what Beach learned about moms struggling with ';doing it all' and empowers them to take back their self-nurturing. With a humorous and honest take on the real-life experiences of motherhood, Beach shares her own missteps, unrealistic expectations, and the reality checks that forced her to completely reassess her self-care practice and build a new approach that celebrates mommy wins, implements grace while embracing the chaos of motherhood, and tosses out the impractical garbage for effective strategies for moms to take care of themselves.
