Self Care for Mothers During the Holidays and Beyond

From taking on the duties of magic makers to cooking meals for gatherings, mothers have a lot on their plates this holiday season. Studies show that nearly twice as many mothers report high stress levels during the holidays than fathers. That’s why it’s important that mothers take time to nurture themselves in the midst of holiday chaos, according to Dr. Gertrude Lyons— a parenting coach with 20 years facilitating dialogue for mothers and daughters, Podcast host, author, and TEDx speaker.

Dr. Lyons has been seen on Good Day LA and in Wall Street Journal

In Rewrite the Mother Code: From Sacrifice to Stardust - A Cosmic Approach to Motherhood., Dr. Lyons shares her vast expertise, using her doctoral degree in education, combined with her degrees in psychology, transformational leadership, and her two decades as a coach for families, couples, and individuals. Each chapter has thoughtfully tailored reflections, meditations, and rituals to help women get in touch with their innate mother wisdom and strength. Rewrite the Mother Code invites you to break free from outdated narratives and step into a more expansive, holistic, and fulfilling relationship with motherhood—whether you are birthing children, ideas, businesses, or movements.
