Momma Zen: Walking the Crooked Path of Motherhood by Karen Maezen Miller

3.0

This book did fall short for me a little. The book did the opposite to me than the title indicated. I hoped to find some peace reading this book, but I found it made me anxious. It just felt like the author giving examples of her path through motherhood was miserable and unsure all the way through. It may have been that way but as a mother myself, yes there were plenty of moments where I didn’t feel my best or felt like a screw up, but I definitely didn’t feel that way all the time. It just felt super dramatic and I am glad I didn’t read this book when I was pregnant, because I have a feeling I would be so much more nervous having my baby then I was.
