Good Mums Get Angry

How to Understand Your Maternal Rage, Find Your Calm, and Be the Parent You Want to Be

Have you ever asked yourself:
  • Why am I so angry?
  • Why do I get so frustrated with my kids?
  • Why does everything my partner does drive me so mad?
Have you ever:
  • told everyone you’re fine when you’re not
  • gone to work full of regret for snapping at your kids during the morning rush
  • repressed your feelings every time you hear someone say you should 'love every minute of it'
If you’ve ever had thoughts like these, you aren’t alone. Maternal rage is the most unspoken topic in modern motherhood. Right now, mums everywhere are trying to be present for their children while secretly berating themselves for their anger.

Ashurina Ream and Erica Djossa, maternal mental health therapists with 25 years of combined experience, reveal what's driving this rage — and give mums the skills to be more calm, present, and effective. In their practices, workshops and courses, Ashurina and Erica have watched countless mums burst into tears as they talk about their anger. They want mums to know there is a solution: they've developed a framework to handle everything from overstimulation to burnout.

This book will equip you with the tools you need to discover the root of your anger, release its control over you, and reclaim motherhood. After reading this book, you will be able to:
  • Extinguish your anger in tough moments
  • Identify and address the source of your anger
  • Proactively tackle what’s fuelling your fire, layer by layer

You'll find yourself more present and connected, enjoying the moments in front of you. There is a calmer and more sustainable version of motherhood waiting for you – and it begins right here.
