Matleisure: Maternity Leave Survival Guide & The Art of Enjoying It - Paperback

by Emily Malloy (Author)

Becoming a mother is likely one of the most profound transitions you'll experience in your lifetime. This guide is both a zestful manifesto grounded in realness and a practical handbook, designed to help you navigate new motherhood with a more seasoned MO.

What is Matleisure? Well, as you've probably guessed, it's a portmanteau of two words (maternity and leisure), which blend to create a new combined meaning. Simply put, Matleisure is about tapping into as much joy as possible during this finite and sometimes jarring life event, especially for first timers.

Yes, newborn cuddles are the greatest thing on earth, but there's nothing that can quite prepare you for the Charlie Foxtrot a tiny new human will bring into your world and the inevitable reverberating wave of visceral ups and downs that impact every aspect of life as you know it.

So why not run towards the light, armed with some new perspective on how you can make your own maternity leave experience not only survivable but as delightful as possible?
