Meltdown

This is a new book. Condition: Brand New.

Why motherhood makes us angry and what to do about it.

Why are so many women overcome with rage when they become mothers - at their partners, their children, even themselves? Is it hormonal, a loss of control, lack of sleep? And why aren't we talking about it?

Lauren Novak takes readers on a candid journey through her own instances of mum rage and explores the raw and often unspoken emotions that many other mothers go through.

In delving into the physical, psychological and societal pressures that contribute to these intense feelings, she reveals just how common maternal anger is.

Yet Lauren also offers hope - and reassurance. With a blend of humour, understanding and insight, she breaks the silence around this taboo topic and provides practical advice and effective strategies for those of us struggling with such overwhelming emotions.

This book will resonate with so many mums and is a vital resource for anyone grappling with the complexities of motherhood and the powerful feelings it can incite.
