Becky says:
The Self-Care Solution is the best book on self care for moms. I have read it at least 5 times since buying it last year. I’m a busy working mother and this book has changed my life for the better.
Before, I was not caring for myself and took care of my family as my number one priority. The Self Care Solution helped me realize that taking care of myself should be number one because how can I care for others if I am in bad shape?

Chronic pain disproportionally affects women, and the percentage of women who try to carry on with everyday life without addressing their own health issues is staggering. This is especially true for busy moms who put their children’s care above their own. Women also disproportionally suffer from disbelief and mis-diagnosis in regards to their chronic pain – including for post-pardum issues. Educating women about chronic pain and their options for living a more pain-free life is vital in addressing the gender gap, and ensuring moms stay healthy and happy for as long as possible.
