Motherhood is often a lonely, unforgiving, and underappreciated job. We know we are overworked and undervalued, but how did we get here and what can we do about it?

To mothers, It feels like society begins to collapse and the cost of living rises to astronomical heights, while the support provided to new mothers shrinks to unimaginable lows after a baby is born. Sleep hours are lost, isolation sets in, emotions run high, and as this all happens, it becomes clear that the role of a mother in the 21st century is greatly out of touch with the way that it should be.

Why is parenting done at the expense of a woman's self-worth?

In Rebecca Pierce's debut book, she digs deep into the history of motherhood and the shift in motherhood expectations to discover how the loss of a village all started to where mothers find themselves today-burnt out and at their breaking point!

Self-preservation should not be like winning the lottery.

In Without a Village, you will realize that being a mother doesn't feel hard because it is too much to handle, but that we were never meant to act as a single caregiver to our little humans in a seemingly never-ending loop of invisible unpaid labor.

Through history, you will reflect on privilege and loss, through stories, you will learn that you are not alone in the scary truth so many of us don't dare utter about the day-to-day realities of motherhood, and through knowledge and practice, you will learn the tricks and techniques to change the way you value your life after kids and convince others to value it as much as you sacredly do.

You will learn:

• How to get your partner to share in the physical and mental workload without it being a fight every single time
• Why confidence is paramount to successful parenting-and the steps you didn't know you needed to put into practice today to get that confidence back
• How to incorporate self-care into your busy day so you maintain your sanity

And much more.

Now is the time to do what's needed to help gain back your mental sanity-for the sake of yourself and your family. Let's bring back the village one (baby) step at a time.
