As you\u2019ll read in my book, living the private spaces of my life in a public forum was antithetical to the \u201cme\u201d of most of my life.<\/p>\n<p>But going through great changes and having others see and read about the progress has resulted in some very common questions:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>How in the world did you change your life?<\/li>\n<li>What steps did you take?<\/li>\n<li>How did you manage change and being a mom?<\/li>\n<li>How did you discover happiness?<\/li>\n<li>Where did you get the bravery?<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>As a result, in the book process, I\u2019ve spent a good year examining my past seven years. I didn\u2019t let any nuance sit by the wayside but rather dug deep into the details\u2014the emotions, results, choices, and mindsets that led to me reclaiming my life. I mapped my world\u2014the inner and outer struggles as well as the times of failing and success. Those details? That\u2019s what this book is about. But I need you to know from the start that this book is not a linear, chronological story of my progression from poverty to my life today. Instead, it is about the mental determination, the process, the challenges, and the how behind great change. It\u2019s your guide and the answers to those common questions. You will discover the agreements you\u2019ve made about yourself, the excuses you give, and why your reality is what it is. But it doesn\u2019t have to be what it is. If you dare, if you decide to walk this path, to disrupt patterns that keep you stuck, all while in the midst of motherhood, I can guarantee you that your future will be different.<\/p>\n<p>That is the brave art of motherhood.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 10pt;\"><em>Read a sneak peek of chapter one of <\/em><a href=\"https:\/\/waterbrookmultnomah.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/Sneak-Peek-The-Brave-Art-of-Motherhood-FINAL-2.pdf\">The Brave Art of Motherhood<\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/waterbrookmultnomah.com\/books\/565671\/the-brave-art-of-motherhood-by-rachel-marie-martin\/\">.\u00a0<\/a><em>And if you&#8217;re a MOPS Member, go to the <a href=\"http:\/\/members.mops.org\/\">Member Site<\/a> to read Chapter 2.
