If we think the only thing stress can do is destroy us, then  that’s all it can and will do. The book posits that we need to change our relationship with stress: we need to seek to improve stress, not remove stress.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eParents, mothers in particular, often echo the refrain\u003ci\u003e “the struggle is  real”\u003c\/i\u003e with no viable alternative path. Nearly all of us have whole-scale  absorbed this message: all stress is all bad all the time and we need  to make it all go away in order to be happy  and healthy. This only serves to magnify “mom guilt” when we seem to  get even our pursuit of stress reduction wrong. This book is part of that alternative path where you too can learn how to be \u003ci\u003eresilient as a mother.\u003c\/i\u003e","brand":"Sarah Plummer Taylor","offers":[{"title":"Hatherleigh Press |  Paperback \/ softback | Trade paperback (US) |  January 02 2079","offer_id":46589096952063,"sku":"9781578269907","price":23.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0329\/9075\/7001\/files\/BNCImageAPI_1157f11c-c9b7-48bc-93a8-e0398748575f.jpg?v=1704513763","url":"https:\/\/riverbookshop.com\/products\/9781578269907","provider":"River Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
