Book Launch: Mums the Word - Kate Blakemore

Mums the Word - The Mothering Journey is a reflective and uplifting collection of raw and real stories that span the entire spectrum of motherhood — from the decision to become a mum, through the challenges and joys of raising children, to the wisdom and perspective that come with being a grandmother. Each chapter not only shares personal ups and downs but also includes useful websites and resources for additional support.

Featuring chapters on all stages of the motherhood journey:

When do you know it’s time to become a mum?

• Becoming pregnant
• Infant loss

• The school years
• Mums in leadership

Kate Blakemore is a mum of three, who is a counsellor with specialism in infant loss and birth trauma. Kate has had her private counselling practice since 2012 and has a diploma in Specialist Fertility Counselling.

Kate is also the founder and Chief Executive of the charity Motherwell Cheshire, a Women and Girls Charity which was founded in 2015.

Kate is passionate about supporting women and girls and in particular mums mental health. Kate felt there were many books out there for new mums but nothing really available for the “mothering journey” and so the start of the book “mums the word - the mothering journey” began.
