The Self-Made Mom - by Julia Sewell (Paperback)

Book Synopsis

A Fast Company Press book

As a working mom, do you find yourself wanting nothing in your life to change but needing everything about the way you live your life to change?

It's easy to forget that, in the scope of history, working mothers are a relatively recent phenomenon, yet it's often assumed they have everything figured out. Mothers today are expected to excel professionally, nurture emotionally intelligent children, maintain healthy partnerships, manage households, and cultivate personal fulfillment. But how is that all possible when they don't have limitless time, energy, and support?

The Self-Made Mom introduces a transformative framework to help modern mothers reclaim agency over their lives by redesigning how they approach responsibility and identity. In her authentic and empowering book, performance coach and mother Julia Sewell shares personal stories, practical strategies, and powerful mindset shifts to help women live intentionally. With humor and vulnerability in equal measure, Julia speaks with a transparency that encourages working mothers to courageously speak their truth and start on the path to becoming Self-Made.

This book is a rallying cry for women who refuse to choose between ambition and motherhood. Becoming Self-Made isn't about reinventing or perfecting yourself; it's about bringing your dreams to life to become the best version of yourself that you can be.

You can have it all-the family, the partner, the career-even when it seems impossible. And The Self-Made Mom is your guide on the journey from depletion to living with power, intention, and joy in the chaos of working motherhood.
