The life coach and coauthor of Signs of a Happy Baby shares self-care strategies and crafting projects to help get new moms on the path to lives they love.
When life coach Kathleen Ann Harper struggled with the demands of motherhood, she took control of her life through dedication, self-care, and finding a creative outlet for herself. Now she’s a life coach dedicated to helping new mothers facing the same struggles she once did. InThe Well-Crafted Mom, Harper blends personal anecdotes and inspirational craft projects with smart self-care solutions for moms.
The Well-Crafted Mom links simple craft projects to life coaching tools to give moms creative reminders of what they’ve learned in each chapter, like how to grapple with mommy guilt; ways to tell the difference between having a mess and being a mess; how to know when expectations are stealing your happiness—and what you can do to reclaim joy.
