Tracey Bianchi's Mom Connection

A review of Tracey Bianchi's book, Mom Connection.

Tracey Bianchi speaks to the mother at the forefront of her joy, her pain, her day-to-day of raising a child(ren) while confronting the ways in which the mother can feel a disconnect from people and life in general. The need for community and companionship for a new mother, and a veteran mother, is of great importance to maintain a healthy and connected sense of well-being. Bianchi brings to light, and realistically enlightens the reader, how to find, or re-find, that "mom connection" in the world of relationships beyond the front door of the home.

Questions such as, "who am I really and how do I make time for myself now that I am a mother," are real questions I have asked myself and I know other mother's have done the same. Bianchi offers great tips and advice to help the mother answer these questions and find the balance that is so very important between being a mother and an individual. Bianchi encourages the reader to grow relationships while helping restore the every exhausted mother to a place of sanity....and we all know how important sanity is as a mother. I am not always sane, my husband can attest to that, but Bianchi helps you to get out of your own way by giving you 5 mom-tested tips at the end of each chapter that offer great resources to tap into.

Bianchi really gets down to the core of what it is like to "feel alone" as a mother and how we shouldn't feel alone while also presenting ways to prevent and overcome this engulfing feeling. Bianchi's ideas and advice on the subject help bridge the "alone" gap into meaningful relationships. Her insight and humor are refreshing and encouraging. As a new mother myself I would recommend this book to mothers who feel they have a good host of support and to mothers who are feeling very alone. Everyone can get something out of this book.

I have one free copy to give away. If you are interested please let me know!
