The challenge of anxiety never tests you more than when you become a mother. From conceiving, to pregnancy, to birth and forever more, there are infinite reasons for your anxiety to be heightened.

The impact on mothers isn’t just the anxiety itself - it’s the stop sign it seems to put up in front of you at almost every turn. Anxiety can stand in the way of living a rich, full and wonderful life, and from fulfilling your potential personally, professionally and as a mother. But this doesn’t have to be your reality. Dr Jodi Richardson, co-author of the bestselling Anxious Kids, knows this because she lives with anxiety and is a wellbeing expert. Now, she wants to educate and inspire mothers to: recognise and understand your anxiety; build the skills and a lifestyle to manage and minimise your symptoms; develop thinking skills to manage unhelpful and worrying thoughts; cultivate confidence to embrace change and uncertainty; strengthen your ability and willingness to tolerate discomfort; know and act by your values; enrich relationships with your partner, friends and children; understand emotional labour and manage your ‘mental load’; strive to fulfil personal and professional goals and ambitions; and raise emotionally intelligent children with skills for flourishing mental health
