Not Just a Mom. A Practical Guide to Finding Yourself for Every Girl with Children

A fact every girl who decides to become a mother encounters: with the birth of children, even the most creatively fulfilled person postpones her career to some vague “someday.” Even if a woman does art not professionally, but for her own pleasure, she still chooses to “put her passion aside,” because society says that children come first, and that it’s pointless to mess around.

Women with children suffer greatly from their inability to express their creative essence: it starts to seem to them that they’ve lost themselves. That’s why the book’s topic is more relevant than ever—creativity is built into every woman by default, and now we can—and should!—talk about it.

• How to live a bright, creative life despite family—and not only—circumstances.

• Simple and effective practices for daily inspiration and replenishing creative energy.

• Finding the strength, time, and money for your beloved work!

• From rock ’n’ roll to zen: inspiring examples and advice from creative moms.
