Have you felt it? There is change brewing around what it means to be a mother in our modern world. More and more mums are questioning the memos we've been handed down about our role as mothers. Memos that would have us put the needs of everyone around us before our own. Memos that say we must control and punish our children's behaviour rather than help them understand the feelings underneath. Memos that implicitly tell us, that if we are finding motherhood difficult, we're doing something wrong.

Rewriting the Mum-Memos is part of this mumming revolution! In an easy-to-read, candid and often funny way, this book looks at some of these old, unhelpful, memos and offers new memos that could better support modern mums in their mothering journeys. Rest easy in the knowledge that if you find being a mum hard, it does not mean you are doing anything wrong!

Mather, Helen: - "Helen Mather is a mother, piano teacher, composer and writer. Helen was born and grew up on the west coast of Australia where she studied music before moving to Germany and studying music education. Helen has always loved to write and has written many articles but it wasn't until early motherhood that she realised she needed to write - to help her process and understand her experiences. Rewriting the Mum-Memos is Helen's debut book. Like this book, Helen's debut album of piano pieces, In Matrescence, explores early motherhood and the feelings that arise during this time. It is Helen's hope that mothers may be able to use these short, atmospheric pieces to take a moment for themselves in their busy days. In Matrescence, (and all her subsequent music) can be found on all major streaming platforms. Helen currently lives in Munich with her husband and son.If you would like to get in touch or stay up to date on Helen's writing, come find her on Substack @helenmather or Instagram @helenmatherwords. If you are interested in Helen's music, information and links to streaming platforms can be found on Instagram @helenmathermusic."
