Mom Strategist Throws Moms a New Lifeline for Daily Survival

PRLog (Press Release) - Jun 21, 2008 -
Baltimore, MD; 06/23/2008 – Mothers everywhere are suffering from the “Mega-mom Syndrome often resulting in stress, anxiety, guilt and frustration associated with managing work and family life and little time for themselves.

As the dominant family care-taker, moms devote time and energy to everyone else and are in never-ending searches of how to find time for themselves. Mom strategist, author and mom, Mia Redrick offers moms sensible solutions for finding time for “mom”; me through Time for mom-Me: 5 Essential Strategies for A Mother’s Self-Care, an easy read, self-care manual for all moms.

Time for mom-Me: 5 Essential Strategies for A Mother’s Self-Care is a practical and inspirational guide for mothers to reflect, release, renew and resolve. Written with an understanding of the busyness of a mother’s life, the book offers moms powerful resources to help them navigate the rigors of daily life through the process of releasing, renewing and resolving life’s pressures.

In the book, strategy # 3 helps moms find solutions to getting through each day by abandoning old strategies and DIPPing into new ones:  Delegate responsibly to others; Incorporate helpful people into your space through a supportive network (other moms; mother’s helper, babysitter, grandparents); Plan your day or week in advance to maximize your time; and always Purge – rid yourself of things that add clutter to your life and space.

Redrick is living example of the “Mega-mom” experience.  As a working mom, pregnant with her first child 10 years ago, she developed self-care routine, including setting aside exclusive time for herself and creating consistent rituals to blend her needs into the family’s schedule.  During this time she also discovered that many moms gave little attention to the most important aspects of their own personal care. As a result, she began her mission to help mothers find more “me” time that includes the exploration of:  three areas of personal growth, ways to redefine and create change, the link between self connection and feelings, and step by step easy solutions to implement a self-care routine.
“My goal is to help mothers adopt the belief that self-care is non-negotiable,” says Redrick. “It’s necessary to be the best you and the best parent you can be.”
