You can be a great mom without giving up, shrinking, or hiding your dreams. There’s flexibility in how you pursue anything—your role, your lifestyle, and your personal and professional goals. The limitations on your dreams are waiting to be shattered. It’s time to see and seize what’s beyond your gaze. Let’s bridge your childhood daydreams with your grown-up realities. Imagine skipping with your kids along any path—you, surpassing your milestones while your kids are reaching theirs. There’s only one superpower versatile enough to stretch your thinking beyond what’s been done before: a Fertile Imagination. It’s like kryptonite for impostor syndrome and feeling stuck when it’s alert!
In Fertile Imagination, you will awaken your sleeping source of creative solutions. If you can wake up a toddler or a groggy middle schooler, then together with the stories in this book—featuring 25 guests from my podcast Unimaginable Wellness, proven tools, and personal anecdotes—we will wake up your former playmate: your imagination!
Dive in if you’ve ever asked yourself:
• Why do I want more?
• What about my big ideas?
• When do I get to play?
• Where can I find the energy?
• Who else is going for it and getting it done?
• How can I stay relevant and keep growing?
• What if I don’t want to wait until my kids are grown?
It’s filled with self-reflected questions, hilarious stories, and podcast examples of the use of a fertile imagination.
