Atlanta, GA -- (SBWire) -- 07/17/2013 --Being a modern mom isn’t easy. As women face more choices, more opportunities and mounting pressures to ‘get it all right’, it often pays dividends to take a step back and marvel at the lighter side of trying to have it all. Using this concept to bring mothers together and form a collective support network, Georgia’s Ardenia Gould is delighted to announce the launch of her ‘Rock This Mother™’ movement.
To introduce herself to the world and provoke initial discussion, Gould is sharing her own story via a compelling poetic memoir and its associated CD.
Synopsis of ‘Rock This Mother: The Life & Times of a Mother Who Rhymes (Volume One)’:
Rock This Mother™ is a ‘poetic memoir’ chronicling my personal journey as a new mom. It’s an auto-biographical parenting story told though prose, comedy, and satire.
It’s an honest and revealing look at ‘raising humans’ and a clarion call to every woman who belongs to the tribe called motherhood!
As the author explains, being a Mom isn’t easy but changing how it’s approached can make a world of difference.
“Motherhood has taken center stage in the national media as a new generation of women is finally admitting the truth: motherhood can be tough, and balancing it all is even tougher! Debates about the infamous ‘mommy wars’; controversial parenting styles; the increasing expectation to raise perfect children; and women’s work both in and outside of the home have made parenting the topic du jour,” says Gould.
Continuing, “Rock This Mother™ tackles these and other issues head on, with a sense of humor, cultural relevance, and a bit of irreverent wit to match!”
Gould’s whimsical approach to an often-heavy topic is poised to help thousands of mothers lighten their own emotional loads. While the movement is kick-starting with the release of Gould’s book, a lot more is planned for the future.
“We’re just beginning! Rock This Mother™ has a number of exciting projects in the works, including rockthismother.com: an online destination for moms with original shows, reviews, advice, and how-to’s. The Rock This Mother Summit™ will debut in the summer of 2014, offering moms a one-of-a-kind experience to renew and recharge their lives!” Gould adds.
Mothers interested in joining the movement are encouraged to purchase the book or CD today.
‘Rock This Mother: The Life & Times of a Mother Who Rhymes (Volume One)’ is available now, with a print version of the book available in August.
