INTEREST IN FEMINIST LITERATURE IS ON THE RISE: 6 in 10 women and one-third of men call themselves feminists. One of this book's themes is how motherhood throttles feminism.
MILLENIALS AND GEN XERS ARE MORE PRONE TO INVEST IN SELF-CARE: Millennials and Gen Xers have more interest in counseling than any other generational groups. These are the groups currently becoming mothers, and this book heavily focuses on counseling therapy and the nuanced (and unexpected) relationship that can arise between client and therapist.
MENTAL HEALTH IS A HOT-BUTTON ISSUE: At least 20-25% of mothers have perinatal mood and anxiety disorders (PMADs), including postpartum depression. This book validates the internal questioning of "Is something wrong with me, or with motherhood?" and aims to destigmatize mental health, the grey area surrounding it, and seeking help from a therapist.
