Download or read book Mothershift written by Jessie Harrold and published by Shambhala Publications. This book was released on 2024-11-12 with total page 257 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Explore this supportive, grounding guide for new mothers navigating the cascade of identity change and transformation that is motherhood. Our modern, Western societal understanding of what happens to a woman when she becomes a mother—beyond emotional rollercoasters and healing her pelvic floor—remains largely uncharted territory. The transition to motherhood actually takes two to three years, not six weeks or three months as we’ve been led to believe. Mothershift offers a supportive, affirming road map to take women through this transformational process. Jessie Harrold introduces her “map for your becoming,” a research-based, four-phase model that maps out how the transition to motherhood unfolds and helps women to navigate every step along the way. She has used this model to guide thousands of women through the shift into motherhood. Harrold also includes self-inquiry questions and journal prompts in each chapter to help women identify and thrive amidst the cascade of changes they can expect as they enter motherhood. Topics include: Normalizing the feelings of grief and loss of self you may feel along the way. Navigating the discomfort of not knowing who you are anymore now that you’re a mother. Guiding you to cultivate a sense of empowerment and leadership in motherhood, showing you how mothering is a counterculture act. Showing you how to use the “superpowers” that motherhood can offer—self-tending, creativity, embodiment, ritual, community, inner knowing, and earth connection. Gently guiding you to explore who you are becoming.

Download or read book Stuffocation written by James Wallman and published by Random House. This book was released on 2015-03-17 with total page 277 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Stuffocation is a movement manifesto for “experiential” living, a call to arms to stop accumulating stuff and start accumulating experiences, and a road map for a new way forward with the potential to transform our lives. Reject materialism. Embrace experientialism. Live more with less. Stuffocation is one of the most pressing problems of the twenty-first century. We have more stuff than we could ever need, and it isn’t making us happier. It’s bad for the planet. It’s cluttering up our homes. It’s making us stressed—and it might even be killing us. A rising number of us are already turning our backs on all-you-can-get consumption. We are choosing access over ownership, and taking our business to companies like Zipcar, Spotify, and Netflix. Fed up with materialism, we are ready for a new way forward. Trend forecaster James Wallman traces our obsession with stuff back to the original Mad Men, who first created desire through advertising. He interviews anthropologists studying the clutter crisis, economists searching for new ways of measuring progress, and psychologists who link stuffocation to declining well-being. And he introduces us to the innovators who are already living more consciously and with more meaning by choosing experience over stuff. Experientialism does not mean giving up all of our possessions. It is a solution that is less extreme but equally fundamental. It’s about transforming what we value. Stuffocation is a paradigm-shifting look at our habits and an inspiring call for living more with less. It’s the one important book you won’t be able to live without. Praise for Stuffocation “The revelations come fast and furious as he asserts that acquiring ‘stuff’ is often just an easy way to ignore the tougher questions of life, dodging ‘why am I here?’ and ‘how should I live?’ for ‘will that go with the top I bought last week?’ Tart and often funny . . . [Stuffocation] will be an eye-opener for those long ago persuaded that more is better. A scintillating read that will provoke conversation (or at least closet cleaning).”—Booklist “James Wallman deftly hits upon a major insight for our times: that acquiring ‘stuff’ and ‘things’ is not nearly as meaningful as collecting experiences. Some of the happiest days of my life were when I had nothing and lived on a houseboat. Without stuff to tie me down, I felt completely free.”—Blake Mycoskie, founder of TOMS and author of the New York Times bestseller Start Something That Matters “A must-read . . . We think that more stuff will make us happier, but as the book nicely shows, we’re just plain wrong. A great mix of stories and science, Stuffocation reveals the downside of more, and what we can do about it.”—Jonah Berger, author of the New York Times bestseller Contagious “Wallman offers a deeply important message by weaving contemporary social science into very engaging stories. Reading the book is such a pleasure that you hardly recognize you’re being told that you should change how you live your life.”—Barry Schwartz, author of The Paradox of Choice “With a sociologist’s eye and a storyteller’s ear, Wallman takes us on a tour of today’s experience economy from the perspective not of businesses, nor even of consumers per se, but of everyday people.”—B. Joseph Pine II and James H. Gilmore, authors of The Experience Economy

Book Synopsis What to Believe When You're Expecting by : Jonathan Schaffir
Download or read book What to Believe When You're Expecting written by Jonathan Schaffir and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2017-10-06 with total page 171 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Pregnant women encounter advice from many directions about how to have a healthy pregnancy – not only from health care providers, but from relatives, friends, and the Internet. Some of these pieces of advice (on topics that range from inducing labor to telling the baby’s gender to improving breastfeeding) have been handed down from woman to woman for generations, and don’t appear in any medical textbooks. Dr. Jonathan Schaffir explores the origins of these old wives’ tales, and examines the medical evidence that proves which ones may be useful and which ones are just entertaining. On topics ranging from getting pregnant to the best way to recover from childbirth, the book settles the questions of what a woman should believe when she hears such advice.

Book Synopsis By, for & about by : Wendy Elizabeth Waring
Download or read book By, for & about written by Wendy Elizabeth Waring and published by Women's Press (UK). This book was released on 1994 with total page 336 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The phrase "by, for and about" has served as a basic tenet of cultural policy direction in feminism since the early 1970s. Like "the personal is political" or "global sisterhood" it has operated as a shorthand for certain kinds of thinking about feminist and cultural politics. Unlike the other two, it continues to be used quite widely as a way of guiding practice and shaping our thinking about how women produce culture in feminism. The nineteen pieces in this volume deal with fine art, poetry, fiction, film, and oral history. They talk about the underbelly of creation: the editorial processes and the support and disappointments of community. By For and About is a forum for addressing challenging issues that are both historical and contemporary.
Book Synopsis Birthing Justice by : Julia Chinyere Oparah
Download or read book Birthing Justice written by Julia Chinyere Oparah and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2015-12-22 with total page 250 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There is a global crisis in maternal health care for black women. In the United States, black women are over three times more likely to perish from pregnancy-related complications than white women; their babies are half as likely to survive the first year. Many black women experience policing, coercion, and disempowerment during pregnancy and childbirth and are disconnected from alternative birthing traditions. This book places black women's voices at the center of the debate on what should be done to fix the broken maternity system and foregrounds black women's agency in the emerging birth justice movement. Mixing scholarly, activist, and personal perspectives, the book shows readers how they too can change lives, one birth at a time.
Book Synopsis To Touch Is To live by : Mariana Caplan, Ph.D.
Download or read book To Touch Is To live written by Mariana Caplan, Ph.D. and published by SCB Distributors. This book was released on 2014-09-29 with total page 273 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For babies to develop normally, they must be touched. Adults, too, thrive when touch is a normal part of their each day: a reassuring handshake, a sympathetic hug, a healing massage. But how often do we permit ourselves or others these simple forms of contact: physical touch, our emotional presence, spiritual communion? We need to get more in touch--closer to who we really are as a species, and in ways that support our highest human potential. Touching can be communication, friendship, kindness, service, or love for God. Topics include: * The highest human need * The roots of violence and abuse. * Acquisitions: a substitute for touch * Healing through touch. * A healthy model of sexuality. * Touch as a context for our lives. Foreword by Ashley Montagu.

Download or read book Broken Boxes written by Ginger Dunnill and published by University of New Mexico Press. This book was released on 2024-08-15 with total page 328 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Some might say that making art is an impulse all humans have, yet artist-as-occupation is tremendously difficult - only a few are able to find their way as an artist due to social oppression, lack of confidence, or general exhaustion from navigating capitalist systems and markets."" - From the Introduction by Ginger DunnillFew books have been published in the Southwest celebrating the intersectionality of contemporary artists. A term first coined in 1989, intersectionality studies overlapping and intersecting social identities and their related systems of oppression, domination, or discrimination. Broken Boxes celebrates ten years of Ginger Dunnill's Broken Boxes podcast. Here are twenty-three extraordinary artists bringing the creativity of their processes and identities to life in the Albuquerque Museum's exhibition and in this accompanying book. Broken Boxes delves deeply into the realm of intentionality, challenging not just how artists create, but why. And Broken Boxes - the podcast, the exhibition, and the book - thrives on bringing artists together in dialogue with each other through the artist's own words. This book provides an opportunity to introduce the larger public to artists committed to creating, sustaining, and encouraging solidarity. By opening up the conversations across communities, groups, art practices, materials, and shared space, we hope to demonstrate how artists are forging new forms of action.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "From racial hierarchies to authentic storytelling, the narrative of Mississippi is one of contrasts that parallel and amplify larger national trends in many ways. To study Mississippi, where RWJF held its fifth annual Sharing Knowledge conference in March 2020, is to learn how structural racism was built, venerated, and fiercely defended in the United States to maintain the status quo of non-White disenfranchisement. Yet the story of the state is also one of strength, rooted in a people who have worked collectively and in community to fight a system designed to punch back"--
