Let's hear it from the moms!

⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️

"When Mommy Grows Up is a must-read for any parent navigating the evolving phases of career and caregiving. It’s common to reach a point where what once worked no longer feels aligned—whether you're outgrowing a role, craving change, or just sensing that something needs to shift (even if you can't yet name what it is). When Mommy Grows Up offers both space for reflection and a practical roadmap to start asking the right questions about what truly matters in your career and life."

"This book helped me to remember to follow my passions, not be afraid of what others think, and it even tackled mother's guilt and imposter syndrome. This was an easy and enjoyable read that I am happy to keep on my bookshelf and come back to whenever I consider, 'What do I want to be when I grow up?'"

"With all of the content put in front of moms these days, this book offers insights, practical advice and exercises, and humor to help women be who they want to be as a mother. Becca's writing is relevant, authentic, and approachable. It is easy to see yourself in her words. I found myself nodding and laughing, and more than once saying 'yes'!"

"When Mommy Grows Up is like chatting with a smart friend who sees you under all the hats you’re wearing. It’s warm, funny, and full of real advice to help you figure out what’s next in your career—without guilt. A quick, comforting read for any mom wondering, 'What now?'"

"When Mommy Grows Up is chock-full of helpful tips for moms who are trying to take the leap to the next chapter of their lives. But it’s also relatable & feels like you’re talking to a mom-friend who gets it."
