Motherhood Makeover

"Finally, moms have a smart, respected authority figure reassuring us that self-care is not selfish, a pediatrician! Dr. Carissa Stanton shares her personal story of burnout and recovery in Motherhood Makeover so that we can learn from her example. The pressure to self-sacrifice and do too much is strong. I'm grateful for Dr. Stanton's new book to help moms find balance and truly be part of the solution. This book is a support to parents everywhere." Hunter Clarke-Fields-author of Raising Good Humans, creator of Mindful Parenting

"The amount of conflicting advice we consume as moms and women is massive. And we are bombarded with the things that we "should" be doing or not be doing. The overwhelm creeps in quickly. Carissa steps in and shares a refreshing perspective that so many of us moms are seeking - a way to trust what our gut is saying deep down. With take home messages that are realistic to put into action, this book will give you a sense of yourself back as both a mom AND a human being. Absolutely wonderful." Lizzie Kieffer, PT, DPT-"Doc Lizzie", Pelvic Physical Therapist and founder of the Mind Body Core Program

"Carissa offers compassion and empathy in a time when mothers feel immense pressure to do more and to be better. She provides real life, practical examples and tools that feel hopeful and possible, rather than adding to the overwhelm. This book is the exhale that so many mothers are looking for." Stephanie Risinger, MS, LCMFT-Perinatal Mental Health Therapist, educator, and speaker

"The highest compliment we can pay a mother is to call her "selfless". Self sacrifice has historically been required to be a "good mom". Not only does this book flip that concept on its head, it gives you the playbook on how to actually do it. A must-read for every mother, parent or caretaker." Erin Holt-Integrative Nutritionist, CEO and founder of the Funk-tional Nutritionist

"Dr. Carissa Stanton offers a refreshing and empowering perspective for today's mothers navigating the relentless pressure of comparison, judgment, and information overload. With heartfelt anecdotes and insightful analysis, Dr. Stanton dismantles the myth of perfection, encouraging women to embrace their unique journeys and redefine success on their own terms. This transformative guide not only validates the struggles of motherhood but also inspires readers to find freedom in authenticity, reminding them that there's no one right way to be a mom." Kerri "Nan" Nachlas, NCS-Certified Pediatric Sleep Consultant and Parent Coach
