This Wasn't in the Parenting Books

This isn't just another parenting book-because you're not just another mom. You're one meltdown away from running into the woods and never coming back.

If you've ever locked yourself in the bathroom to cry, whispered "WTF is my life" under your breath during a toddler tantrum, or googled "how to stay calm when your brain is on fire," you're in the right place.

Motherhood isn't broken. You're not broken. It's the thoughts you've been trained to think-and the unrealistic expectations you've been conditioned to live up to-that are quietly wrecking your nervous system. Most moms are trying to do it all while drowning in invisible labor and overstimulation, with no roadmap for how to regulate emotions or shift out of survival mode.

This book is that roadmap.

Written by a speech-language pathologist, homeschool planner, and real-life chaos manager of three wild kids, This Wasn't in the Parenting Books delivers bite-sized life coaching lessons for moms who are tired of toxic positivity and just want to feel better already. Through simple mindset tools, hilarious real-life stories, and gentle reminders that you're doing better than you think, you'll finally learn how to shift your thoughts, ride the emotional waves, and create peace in the middle of the mess.

Whether you're curled up with coffee during nap time or reading one-handed while someone climbs you like a jungle gym, this book is for you.

What if everything gets to change... just by thinking a new thought?
