MotherMind: practical parenting and mums’ mental health
Welcome to MotherMind, where we focus on motherhood and mind matters as well
as practical problems we experience day to day. It is designed to be a place of caring
for and about mothers.
MotherMind is a blog to share stories, provide resources and tips to support this
ongoing experience of motherhood. This is for you as you go through your own
journey, raising your family and beyond.
Carl Jung (psychiatrist) talked of motherly love giving us our first identity in the world as well as representing fate or anything secret and hidden. This can be in the form of personal mothers, or things and places standing for fertility and fruitfulness like spirituality, the Earth, the sea or nature.
"Perhaps someday there will appear a poet courageous enough to give expression to the voices of the 'mothers'."
Carl Jung
"Mum's the Word" is an unflinching account of one mother's first months with a new baby, and is written to support other new parents about to embark on the crazy journey to becoming a family. Part how-to guide, part secret diary, it brings comfort and companionship through this extraordinary time of change.

Loved it! A great read for new moms everywhere!

The more we share about early motherhood the better for all of us. A great read for those who have been there, those who are about to be there and those who journey with them.
