You can be a mom and still have a life. That’s the declaration of the authors of the new book “Baby on Board: Becoming a Mother Without Losing Yourself — A Guide for Moms-to-Be,” by Joelle Jay and Amy Kovarick.
Both women believe that women deserve as much attention as their babies and should make the effort to get it. “Too many women spend their entire pregnancy focused on things that involve only the baby — childbirth, baby care, decorating the nursery, toys, etc. — and forget about their own needs. What they also need to focus on is figuring out what motherhood means to them personally, and ensuring they don’t lose their sense of themselves so they can bring their best to motherhood,” Kovarick says.
Today, Jay and Kovarick practice what they preach, balancing their career passions with Jay’s 4-year old son, Jackson, and 18-month old son, Adam Morgan, and Kovarick’s 15-month-old son, Matthew.
“The techniques we use in our coaching sessions have been so successful we were eager to share with women across the country,” Kovarick says. “Baby on Board” offers a step-by-step guide that will help readers figure out how to achieve balance and fulfillment as they juggle a career, family demands, expectations and their own needs and dreams in their new life as a mother.
