Discover biblical wisdom and practical advice for new moms that will help you thrive as you take care of yourself and your new baby. Learn how to be the emotionally healthy mom God designed you to be.

Rachael Elmore, a mother of two and a licensed mental health counselor who specializes in treating postpartum depression and anxiety, comes alongside new moms and gives them the practical tools and biblical wisdom they need to take care of themselves and become the connected and emotional healthy mothers God designed them to be.

Most new moms know that the first year is going to be to be full of joys and challenges, peaks and valleys. But even though they've prepared themselves as much as they can, they still find themselves thinking, I knew this was going to be hard. But will it always be this hard? This wasn't what I was expecting, what if I don't know how to take care of this baby--or myself?

Rachael Elmore has been there and knows on a personal and professional level how hard the early days and months of motherhood can be. In A Mom Is Born she takes her expertise as a licensed and clinical counselor and pairs it with her deeply personal story of overcoming postpartum depression after the birth of her first son. She comes alongside you with practical tools--such as the New Mom Wellness Plan and a postpartum progress checklist--to help you find the balance between taking care of your new baby and taking care of yourself.

Using scripture and therapeutic insights, Elmore shows you how to:

• Develop a biblical plan for navigating new motherhood, the baby blues, and postpartum depression
• Stop intrusive thoughts and triggers in their tracks and overcome postpartum anxiety
• Process and manage all of the new emotions you are facing
• Start implementing small acts of self-care that will lead to emotional health.

A Mom Is Born gives you the tools you need to stop spinning in the overwhelming emotions and anxieties of new motherhood and start taking care of yourself so that you can be the connected and emotionally healthy mom God designed you to be.

Customizable Wellness Plans, The Motherhood Vow, exercises, and diagrams are included in the audiobook companion PDF download.

A must read for new moms

I listened to this while newly postpartum. It normalized so much of what I was experiencing! This book is unique because it’s equally practical and informative. The printable PDF’s are available, I will be giving this book to all my newly postpartum friends!!

Incredible listen for all new moms!

All new moms need this book! This helped me through the darkest seasons of motherhood and dealing with some depression and some anxiety.

Wonderful

Practical, real, and impactful. I love the authors narration and I cannot wait for a second book!

Very real and practical Christian advice

Great book for first time or any time moms looking for help with things like PPD or PPA. Some parts got a little repetitive but overall was helpful and I loved that it was written from a Christian perspective of these struggles that many mothers face.

Incredible

Thank you so much for writing this book. It has helped me through the darkest days of my life. I plan to buy this for every new mom I know. I wish I had had it before my baby was born. Beautiful mix of logic and theology.

A bit too religious

I am Catholic so I thought that the religion aspect of the book would not bother me but honestly, it was a bit too much. I ended up not finishing or enjoying the book 😬.
