The Mother Year by Chelsey Scaffidi

Step gently into the profound journey of motherhood with The Mother Year, a soulful companion for new mothers embracing the transformative first year. Just as adolescence marks a powerful rite of passage, matrescence—the transition from maiden to mother—reshapes identity in ways both deep and lasting.

This thoughtful book offers:

• Daily Guidance: 365 entries, each with a focused theme, a prayer, and a small, nurturing self-care practice you can weave effortlessly into your day.

• Seasonal Wisdom: Divided into four meaningful seasons—Autumn, Winter, Spring, and Summer—that mirror both the natural world and the emotional phases of early motherhood.

  • Autumn invites letting go of your old self.

  • Winter encourages quiet reflection and renewal.

  • Spring plants seeds of new growth and intention.

  • Summer celebrates the blossoming of your new identity as a mother.

• A Holistic Approach: Rooted in mindfulness, self-compassion, and connection, this book honors the sacred process of becoming a mother without overwhelm or pressure.

• Authentic Voice: Written by Chelsey Scaffidi—a mother, meditation teacher, and social impact lawyer—who shares heartfelt insights from her own journey and interviews with new moms.
