About this listen
Read by the author.
Get rid of mom guilt, regain your sanity, and prevent burnout.
Loving your kids isn’t supposed to mean you completely disappear or get swallowed up by the demands of motherhood.
You want to be a great mother. But how do you care for yourself without neglecting your kids needs, feeling overwhelmed by guilt, or succumbing under the pressure to be perfect?
Dr. Morgan—a psychotherapist and relationship expert—has helped over 100,000 moms regain their sanity and prevent burnout through her popular courses, coaching, and social media wisdom. In her debut book, Love Your Kids Without Losing Yourself, she offers a proven step-by-step plan that any mom can follow. In this powerful book, she reveals how to
- rid yourself of mom-guilt for good,
- identify your needs and express them with confidence,
- create a self-care plan that goes beyond pedicures and bubble baths, and
- thrive as a woman after being on the back burner for too long.
Love Your Kids Without Losing Yourself is a must-listen book for modern moms. You don’t have to choose between self-abandonment or child-abandonment. You can love yourself and love your kids. Discover how to flourish as a mother, know exactly how to care for yourself in ways that actually make a difference, and finally feel joy in motherhood.
Reflection questions, exercises, and appendixes are included in the audiobook companion PDF download.

Burnout. Many women in America have experienced it. What’s expected of women and what it’s really like to be a woman in today’s world are two very different things - and women exhaust themselves trying to close the gap between them. Sisters Emily Nagoski, PhD, and Amelia Nagoski, DMA, are here to help end the cycle of feeling overwhelmed and exhausted. Instead of asking us to ignore the very real obstacles and societal pressures that stand between women and well-being, they explain with compassion and optimism what we’re up against - and teach us how to fight back.

In You Are a F*cking Awesome Mom, award-winning journalist and Instagram star Leslie Anne Bruce acknowledges that, yes, motherhood is a total mind f*ck—but then she offers the self-empowerment lessons new mothers need to get through the psychic upheaval and emerge stronger than ever. After childbirth, a woman's body, her relationships, and her very sense of self are tested like never before. Bruce encourages listeners to look past the sugarcoated truisms about the miracles of child-rearing in order to embrace the real joys of motherhood, spit-up stains and all.

A clinical psychologist’s exploration of the modern dilemmas women face in the wake of new motherhood. When Molly Millwood became a mother, she was fully prepared for what she would gain: an adorable baby boy; hard-won mothering skills; and a messy, chaotic, beautiful life.

But nothing could have prepared him to face Ori Olson, a broody rival whose caustic wit cloaks a painful past. From the moment Nigel and Ori meet, sparks fly. Their powers are stronger, more thrilling, the closer they get—not that they can risk becoming attached.

Gary John Bishop has helped millions of people break free of self-sabotaging behaviors. Yet we all seem to feel like we’re failing at this thing called parenting. Common wisdom isn’t working—our kids are struggling. Gary argues we don’t need more tips, tricks, and techniques, we need an overhaul of who we are. We’re never going to measure up to the “perfect parent” model we’ve built up in our heads—a Frankenstein version of mom and dad cobbled together from our childhoods, our parents, cultural ideals, social media, and everything in between.

Speaks to your heart
Dr. Morgan does such a great job reading her own book to you. It’s almost like she’s in the room talking directly to you and uses her own personal experiences. She’s raw & real and that’s what I adore! I will definitely be putting together a mom’s group together to read the book and discuss each of her principles.

I’m a mom who lost myself in motherhood. I follow all the encouraging instagram pages but nothing struck a cord with me like this book did. I started SOBBING at the analogy of the mother trees in the forest. I have recommended this book to every new mom I know and will continue to recommend it FOREVER!

Insightful and Inspiring Mothering
The book was wonderful. The layout was easy to follow and accompanied by worksheets. The ideas flowed well and we're arranged in a step by step order that made sense, even to the most organized of brains. The author read the book herself and she has a caring and soothing voice which puts this audiobook at the top of my list. Thank you... now I'm going to go Mom myself!
