Author Description

Out of the Mouths of Moms is filled with personal stories about motherhood collected by art therapist, Anne Walsh, through individual interviews with mothers from all walks of life. The fifty stories in these pages explore the many paths women have taken to become moms, the challenges and losses inherent to mothering as well as the sometimes daunting responsibility of advocating for one’s child. This book challenges mothers to risk speaking their truth, despite their fear of judgement, because in doing so, they strengthen their connections, normalize their struggles and feel empowered to seek support within their community. Some of the proceeds from this book will go towards supporting mothers.Anne Walsh is an art therapist, author and speaker devoted to supporting mothers. “The hearts of Moms everywhere will be full when they peak behind the curtains into the homes of each one of these incredible moms.” Shelli Warren, Chief People Officer, BizChix“Mothers have, for too long, been silenced and encouraged to accept their lot in life without too much fuss—this is the oppression of motherhood”.
