Foreword written by Workin'' Moms creator, executive producer, writer, and star of the television comedy series, Catherine Reitman.This book was written by working moms, for working moms. Becoming a mama has a plethora of challenges on its own, and it can be exhausting, even on the best of days. When it comes time to go "back to work," what additional challenges might mom expect? Is it possible to implement conscious parenting while simultaneously achieving career success and also discovering true fulfillment in life? What sort of new learning curves may she face mentally, emotionally, physically, and even spiritually? How might she handle uncharted territory with her family, child(ren), partner, caregiver, colleagues, and the rest of the world in general? How might she adapt to the social status change to "mom" in the public world, while still maintaining the most important role of mom at home in private? Let''s get real and start the conversation.Navigating these waters doesn''t have to be so scary, and no mama is ever alone. We as mothers are here to support one another, and lift each other up by sharing our personal trials and triumphs. It takes a village, and it''s time for working moms all over the world to feel a sense of unity, positive reinforcement, community, and belonging. All moms deserve the access to wisdom from those who have walked the path before her-no matter how many children she has, what ages they are, whatever mom''s age may be, or however long-after mama''s gotta go back to work. The goal of this book is to uplift as many moms as possible, from all walks of life, and to better prepare them for what''s to come as they embark on the transition between home life and work life. It provides an abundance of hope and inspiration to moms everywhere, that if we can do it, so can YOU!Co-Authors: Krysta Lee | Amanda Drexler | Andie Mack | Charleyne Oulton | Domenica Orlando | Elizabeth Meekes | Erin Montgomery | Laura Morris | Lisa Evans | Marcia Miatke | Mary Ann Masesar Blair | Melissa Killeleagh | Michelle Emmick | Nanci Lozano | Pina Crispo | Sally Lovelock | Sharlene Rochard | Sharon Hughes-Geekie | Stephanie Card | Teresa Nocita-Cirillo

In December of 2016, Kristin Topping''s life changed in a fraction of a second. It wasn''t supposed to happen this way. She was an officer in the Canadian Armed Forces, she had a charmed career that took her all over the world as an engineering specialist, and she aspired to do great and important things. A split second was all it took to wash those dreams down the drain. A concussion, or in Kristin''s case a mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI) with loss of consciousness, is a serious injury that is accompanied with changes to a person''s physical well-being, cognitive abilities, and can result in an altered mental state. The training and the social pressures instilled over twenty-two years of military service were a deterrent to her seeking help right away for her injury. Kristin wallowed in despair for months before she would admit the significance of her problem. Her relationships collapsed, her ability to function in and out of the workplace deteriorated and her purpose was lost. When she finally admitted to herself that she needed help, she was thrown into a rehabilitation labyrinth with the hope of regaining simple skills that were taken for granted. This isn''t a sad story though; this is a story about how Kristin''s indoor garden saved her life.

Rates of chronic childhood illness are rising in the United States - and in turn, so are the percentage of children on pharmaceuticals.

Naturally Inspired shares opinions and research about vaccine safety, natural remedies, immune health, toxic household chemicals, pharmaceutical dependency, childhood illness, immune boosting recipes, and recovery.

I'm 30, Now What?! is a discovery through the perception of women born between 1977 - 1987. At the time of writing this book, we are in our thirties. There is something about our generation that never quite fit in a traditional sense. Our authors are from, or have lived in, Canada, USA, Turkey, Germany, Barcelona, and Europe, yet there is a common feeling of displacement across the globe within our "lost" generation. We were the first generation to have vast choices around education, career, and our role in the household. We were able to stumble off the traditional path, and survive. We were raised in a very transitional phase from single to dual income households, and grew up during the rise of broken-homes. We saw war for its true colors - an industry and not an act of "freedom," the creation of the internet and watching it "burst," followed by an economic, banking, and housing crash. We also saw positive change: rapid gentrification, spirituality, equal rights, gay rights and same-sex marriage, the-everyday-feminist and females running the workplace, male nurses, stay at home dads, and moms to mompreneurs to childless-women-by-choice finding commonalities outside of mommyhood. As adults, we view diversity and open-mindedness as our way of life. We didn't start all these trends, but we are the outcome. We were born to be a generation of change; a generation of options. Maybe instead of being the lost generation, we were the born - Choice Makers. Yet, we don't fully own this… We CAN choose a life outside of a cookie cutter mold, and we have the right to be unapologetic when doing so.This book is a heavy, controversial eye-opener, while being a tool for healing, growth, owning your power, and embracing choice.
