Honest reflections and support for navigating the realities of modern motherhood.

Modern motherhood is fraught with contradictions that make it so difficult to navigate. Balancing out your fierce and all-consuming love with the desire to just be left in peace for a few minutes, juggling the pressure to put someone else’s needs first with the sense that you’re losing your grasp of the person you once were; it’s easy to feel confused, angry and even lost.

Certified life coach and matrescence psychotherapist, Jacqueline Kelly, knows how you feel and knows how to help. Her honest, compassionate writing is a soothing balm to anyone going through the heady cocktail of confusion, joy, rage and adoration that is new motherhood.

In Our Brave Hearts, you’ll find:

• Reflective essays that explore identity, strength and resilience.
• Gentle prompts and affirmations to help mothers reconnect with themselves.
• Beautiful illustrations by Rosie Lovelock that bring warmth and calm to every page.
• Suggestions for practical resources to help with mental health and self-care.

This book is both a companion and a guide, offering recognition and reassurance for mothers who feel overwhelmed by expectations.

Whether you’re buying for yourself or gifting to a new mother, Our Brave Hearts provides clarity, comfort and confidence at one of life’s most transformative stages.
