“Moms don’t need fixing. The system does.”

I could not agree more! Also, I am living proof that there can be a happy medium between “trad wife” and “boss babe.”

You guys, since having children, this is the first book that I’ve finished in just a week! Usually it takes me a year to get through a book, simply because I don’t have as much time to read for fun. However, I could not put this book down!

Why am I telling you this? Because this awesome, wise, Indigenous author wrote a memoir that not only speaks to her own childhood, but also to systemic issues and generational trauma. I love that Chyana used a holistic appoach to healing, which included traditional tribal practices and modern therapies.

As a Certified Early Childhood Mental Health Specialist (ECMH-E), I am very passionate about preventing cycles of abuse from continuing. I do this by providing therapeutic support to parents and caregivers, from the time of pregnancy or birth and into the early years of childhood. I also use play therapy with the children and connect the family with appropriate resources.

I strongly suggest that you read this book! If you have the means, please purchase it yourself (versus borrow) to support Chyana. Indigenous authors are underrepresented in publishing and it would be amazing to support her!

Oh my goodness, I was invited to speak at a big, statewide conference… but their acceptance email went to my SPAM folder and I saw it a few hours too late! 🤦🏼‍♀️ Maybe they’ll still allow me to accept!

You say you don't have time for meditation? Here you go.
