You're Not Broken: A Gentle Workbook for Postpartum Healing, Overwhelm, and Finding Yourself Again - Hardcover

If you've been feeling overwhelmed, irritable, disconnected, or not like yourself after having a baby... this book is for you.

No one prepares you for how postpartum actually feels.

Not just the sleepless nights but the emotional weight, the overstimulation, the quiet resentment, and the loneliness that can exist even when you're not alone.

And when those feelings show up, it's easy to think:

"What's wrong with me?"

Nothing is wrong with you. You are not broken.

You are adjusting to one of the biggest emotional and physical transitions a human being can experience.

Inside this workbook, readers will find:

• Gentle, validating chapters that put words to what they're feeling
• Guided reflection prompts to help process emotions
• Grounding exercises to calm the nervous system
• Daily emotional check-in pages to support day-to-day regulation
• Supportive reminders that feel realistic and reassuring

This book will help readers:

• Understand why they feel overwhelmed, irritated, or disconnected
• Release guilt around emotions they weren't expecting
• Regulate their nervous system in small, manageable ways
• Feel seen, supported, and less alone in their experience
• Reconnect with themselves without pressure to "bounce back"

Who this is for:

• New mothers navigating postpartum emotions
• Women feeling overstimulated, exhausted, or emotionally drained
• Anyone adjusting to identity changes after having a baby
• Mothers who want support without something clinical or overwhelming

This is not a book that needs to be read all at once.

It's something readers can return to on hard days, quiet moments, or whenever they need something grounding and real.

You are allowed to feel how you feel.

You are allowed to move slowly.

You are not behind.

You are not broken.

Author Note:

This workbook was created to give language to the experiences many women silently carry after birth. If someone has ever felt like no one fully explained this part of motherhood, this book is meant to help them feel seen and supported.
