Why I wrote it:
I wrote Teen Mothers: Designing a Fabulous Life because I wanted to create a resource that truly supports young mothers in fashioning a fantastic life for themselves and their children. When I was a teen mom, I wished I had more guidance on emotional intelligence, resilience, and self-care to help avoid burnout. I also wanted advice on child discipline at different ages, along with tools for becoming more confident, assertive, and effective as a communicator. This book is about giving teen mothers the knowledge and encouragement they need to stand up for themselves, build strong support networks, and create the kind of future they deserve.
