Choosing motherhood does not mean choosing to do everything alone.
How are loneliness and isolation showing up for you as a single mother by choice?
Written and illustrated by a therapist who is also a single mother by choice, this workbook makes room for both truths: loving the family you chose and needing more support than you have.
Inside you'll find:
Plain-language tools from CBT, ACT, DBT, and parts work, explained before you're asked to use them
Worksheets and journal pages with real writing space, plus permission to skip, answer briefly, or come back later
Reflections on being the only adult at home, feeling misunderstood even in SMC spaces, and being seen as capable while your own needs go unnoticed
Help asking for support that actually helps, and setting boundaries when you depend on the person helping you
A values exercise, a comfort menu built around your real time, energy, and budget, and original watercolor illustrations throughout
For anyone considering single motherhood by choice, trying to conceive, pregnant, postpartum, or parenting.
Details: 72-page downloadable PDF, US Letter size. Read onscreen and print individual worksheets as needed.
