When trying to unravel an idea as big as motherhood, where do you begin? Unravelling Motherhood  seeks to answer that question... yet we each have our own understanding of what motherhood entails. As these preconceived ideas falter and fail during the many intense, exhausting and overwhelming periods of motherhood, we begin to doubt our ability to be a mother. We begin to doubt ourselves. We begin to unravel.

Yet through this process, we can find our own truth, identity, and purpose by challenging the assumptions we have about motherhood and ourselves. Unravelling Motherhood offers real insights on maternal mental health, identity, vulnerability, and more for anyone who is lost in the blur of the voices in their minds. Drawn from real-life experiences, Geraldine Walsh provides much-needed support for anyone navigating this beautiful, wonderful, terrifying stage of their life.

In this honest, reflective and relatable book, journalist and mother of two Geraldine Walsh includes a motivational toolkit for anyone navigating motherhood. Birthed from her own varying experiences of mental well-being, Geraldine Walsh discusses aspects of motherhood all pertaining to how one untangles this role. Unravelling Motherhood  finds a balance between research, personal experiences, and workable processes that will leave readers feeling validated.

Included within its chapters are helpful insights on how to look at situations differently and listen to one's mind in appropriate ways, along with added discussions with psychologists, exercises and journaling. Key discussion topics include:

• How to handle expectations vs. the reality of motherhood
• Managing wellness and mental health during the early months/years
• Developing healthy habits for proper and holistic self-compassion
• Learning to reconcile identity before motherhood to the one afterwards
• Identifying ‘outside influences’ (culture, friends/family, media, etc.) which affect how you evaluate yourself as a mother
