The You Sexy Mother books redefine what it means to be a mum today…one who is sexy, vibrant, healthy, happy and engaged in a life that has meaning and value.
When she became a mother herself, Jodie Hedley-Ward failed to find any book that supported her own beliefs about what motherhood could, and should, be, so she set about writing one herself. You Sexy Mother was the triumphant result. Since then, thousands of women have read and absorbed the You Sexy Mother philosophy, then sought further information and contact withother women through the author’s busy website yousexymother.com.au
Jodie has also received hundreds of emails from women whose lives have been positively changed through reading the book and by adapting many of the practical suggestions to their own lives. Inspired by these women, Jodie created You Sexy Mother: The Journal ($24.99, March 2010), a beautiful but practical follow-up to her first book, offering sensible advice on self-perception, self-respect, the importance of relationships, simplifying your life, creativity through motherhood and making use of community resources.
The Journal is also a workbook, containing numerous reflection questions, quotes and thoughts designed to stimulate inner growth and change. Jodie has also updated the transformational ten-day turnaround plan that appeared in her first book, making this book even more useful.
Jodie’s publicity tour in April/May will coincide with the release of results of the Australia Motherhood Study, which Jodie and clinical psychologist, Dr Angela Huntsman launched on Mothers’ Day 2009. Mothers were asked via an anonymous on-line questionnaire to talk about how they think and feel about their role as mothers. Both researchers will be giving a keynote address in New York City this May, at the Association for Research on Mothering (ARM)/Mamapalooza “Representing Motherhood: Mothers in the Arts, Literature, Media and Popular Culture” conference, May 20-22, 2010, New York City.
