Wake Up Mother - Curated by Sarah Lloyd and featuring stories and wisdom of Mothers.

This book has been written for Mother.

For those women who have felt lost, alone, unsupported, dimmed, squashed, uncomfortable, unable to speak truth for fear of it highlighting the shadows.  

It is for the Mothers, Sisters, Witches, Bitches, Whores and Good Girls.  

It is for the mothers of children, furry friends, businesses and creative projects. 

Mother is when we are most fertile physically. It is when we begin to nurture, guide and support those around us. It is our creative blooming. It is the ripening fruit, our period of birthing ideas, businesses and babies. 

It is also the time we are asked to quietly shoulder a lot. Societal pressures, conditioning from authorities, media exposure and emotional immaturity are all designed to keep us forever in maidenhood. 

The never-ending quest to stay young, look young, but still be successful - the cook in the kitchen and the whore in the bedroom.

Businesses, children and creative projects take a village. It is in Mother Energy we find our connection, our communities and ultimately our sanity. 

This book shares stories and wisdom of Mothers; an opportunity to face and embrace our shadows with no judgment. It is within these shadows we find ourselves. 

We share, so that others may find light in the darkness too.

We see you, Mother. Come rest here for a while.
