Self-compassion and inner strength

A follow up from the bestselling Self-Compassion, this book shows why it is more urgent than ever that women acknowledge their areas of suffering, celebrate their inner voice and challenge the male-orientated status quo.

The book will draw on Kristin Neff's own life story as well as the stories of other women to show how readers can harness self-compassion and gain the strength, clarity and courage needed to be resilient and stand up for themselves in our male-dominated society.

She'll explore core issues such as gender differences, why we aren't more compassionate to ourselves, and what women do for love. With expert research, concrete tools and easy-to-follow mindfulness practices, this book will empower women to let go of self-criticism, draw boundaries and become fierce.

Reviews

Hollie shares the raw truth about what to expect in motherhood in the most nurturing, supportive and calming way, providing tools to guide you step by step through the emotional rollercoaster that motherhood brings. What I love most is the way Hollie reminds us on to listen to our instinct, when there is so much external noise and opinions, sometimes is hard to focus on what is right for you. Motherhood Your Way will help you stay true to you.

—— Izzy Judd

In this thoughtful book, Hollie shares her beautiful and important ideas on how we can all approach motherhood and the birth of our new selves with wonder and awareness, from tuning into our instincts to creating the personal rituals and sacred space that our family need in order to navigate the inevitable twists and turns. When I was pregnant with my first daughter, Hollie mentored me and introduced me to new way of birthing and of thinking. I learned things about my own body that I had never been taught and it changed my life forever. I have no doubt that the exercises and thoughts in these pages will offer mothers everywhere the empowerment they so deserve.
