by Shari Chelack (Author)
Readers of Girl, Wash Your Face, Love Warrior, and Wild will love this uplifting memoir of overcoming expectations to find magic, happiness, and healing while being a working mother.
She never expected motherhood to break her. Nor did she expect it to be her salvation.
Like many millennials, Shari Chelack began adulthood trying to live up to the perfect image she saw on her Instagram feed. An overachiever by nature, she set out to create the ideal life she had planned, confident she would succeed at all the things. Behind the scenes, she struggled with an eating disorder, an isolating fear of making friends, and the untalked-about grief of multiple miscarriages. Overwhelmed by caring for two young sons while maintaining a corporate career and the business she ran with her husband, she lost hope of finding the fairy-tale she'd dreamt of.
Little did she know, it would be on the yellow brick road of motherhood that she would learn her most invaluable life lessons. Along the way, she would be joined by others like her, women who were tired of curating lives of false perfection and who were looking for something better-something real. When she finally transformed her sensible black pumps into shiny red heels, she would acquire the gifts she needed to become whole at last.
With humour and raw honesty, Chelack shares her journey from being a successful but miserable briefcase-carrying career woman to discovering she already possessed the magic to create the balance and happiness she'd always searched for. Shari's story will leave you laughing, crying, and most of all, inspired by the bravery of a mother who would face any adversary on behalf of her children-even herself.
