Rooted & Resilient: A soulful guide for high-performing, first-time mothers over 40

When I became a mother for the first time at 44 and again at 47, I was used to being capable and in control. But motherhood has a way of undoing even the most high-performing among us. I found myself craving something that met me where I was: tender and tired, yet still wanting give my best.

Rooted & Resilient grew from that space. It’s a guide for women who’ve lived a full life before motherhood and who know how to hold things together, but need a reminder that strength doesn’t always mean striving.

Inside, you’ll find reality checks, mindset reframes and journal prompts to help you soften old expectations, rebuild self-trust and rediscover your own rhythm in this season of life. The topics range from identity shifts, movement and nutrition to mental health, rest and relationships.

This isn’t about doing more. It’s about remembering that you already are enough and learning to root deeply so you can rise differently.
