Get the most of your mileage while you journey through early (or renewed) motherhood! Here is a journal of 40 poems and 40 prompts to help you mother by design, rather than default. Though small, babies take up a lot of room. So do partners, colleagues, family members, friends, and other children. Newborn moms have a unique quest: to discover, design, and develop a completely transformed version of self while experiencing overwhelming attachment and isolation at the same time. Cultivating safe space for expressive connection can make all the difference. Motherhood Express is a power tool, a treasure box, and a good therapist rolled into one. An empty journal makes a great gift. A full journal makes a memoir. For more details, please visit:

"About six months after the birth of my son, depression hit me hard. I worked with the 40 Questions and it helped me understand and sort my feelings out, get clear on my truth, and feel more connected to who I am beneath the dark clouds. This sense of connection is what carried me through the darkness until I felt better again." -Stacy, mother of 1
"Motherhood is a very intense experience and we are all learning, constantly, moment by moment, day by day. Watching other moms, who I very much admire, go through trials and tribulations as I do, or successes as I do, and sharing that journey, is incredibly empowering and enlivening and I am making lifelong friends through the process. I am utterly grateful." -Janessa, mother of 3
"I'm so glad I stumbled across this little book. It has jump-started a new love for journaling and saved my day on more than one occasion!" - Trinity, mother of 1
"One of the hardest things about motherhood is constantly feeling judged, by myself and others. Motherhood Express really helped me make peace with my journey--even though it is still hard sometimes! I feel like I have a healthier and stronger way of relating to it, and I don't beat myself up so much." -Samantha, mother of 4
"Who would have thought answering a few basic questions would shift my mood and energy so powerfully? I bought a journal for all my closest mama friends! We work through the group sharing process Gina recommended, and it has been a game changer." -Lorie, mother of 2
