Download or read book What Mommy Never Told You A Woman s Guide to the Next Phase of Life written by Ericka Pittman and published by Scribe Publishing. This book was released on 2020-02-25 with total page 270 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It is tough balancing being a woman and a lady. It is even tougher being both domestically and professionally powerful. As society continues to accept women as equal power brokers, the rules of how to define, manage, and sustain it are ever-changing. It seems that success for women is often defined by an imaginary checklist: learn proper etiquette, get good grades in formative school, achieve higher education, and land a good job and/or a "good man." AND THEN WHAT? WHAT'S NEXT? When the "rulebooks" go away, women are often left to "figure it out" on their own. They must learn to laugh at and redefine what it means to be powerful. For the past 18 years I have been in a virtual fog about what to do next, who to be next, how to behave in the next situation. While there are numerous examples of phenomenal women who have achieved unprecedented success in business, and even greater success in work/life balance, there are limited platforms for women embarking on their "next phase" of life. Throughout the elevation of my career, I found myself relying on my own personal intuition and interpretation of what I saw the boys doing. With fingers crossed, I'd add a "plus up" feminine twist and hope for the best. Oftentimes, I stubbed my toes, acquired a few bumps and bruises and even made a complete fool of myself -- but through these experiences I learned what works and what doesn't. If this memoir arms one woman with the courage and know-how for what's next in her life, then my bruises and scars were well worth it. We as women need guidance, (and quite frankly: license) to think beyond what conventional teaching has taught us. We need the green light to GO in the boys' world, while still being able to kick our feet up with our female counterparts and coexist in both spaces authentically. What Mommy Never Told You provides alternative options in order to create success on your terms once the guidance, direction, and checklists of society expire. This book is meant to be an exploration of a woman's journey beyond the general rules and guidelines of adolescence, opening up a broader lens to the possibilities of the next stage in life. To the woman who is looking for the next thing in her life... yearning for the courage to get it done, I say... the time is N.O.W. (No Other Way).

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What Mama Never Told Me about Men, Motherhood, and Marriage: Volume I – Men is an insightful book that will accompany women of all ages and all walks of life as they make their way through the tough realities of life. Not all parents and guardians are comfortable talking with their daughters about delicate topics such as boys and sex. Most women grow up wishing someone would have told them what they never knew to make quality decisions regarding men, motherhood, and marriage. It may be a case where the information was shared but was never really heard, understood, or implied. Each chapter in What Mama Never Told Me about Men, will highlight a signifi cant challenge when dealing with the male species, with the eye-opening story, “Leah’s Heartache,” interwoven in between. With chapters containing biblical scripture references to ponder on, it discusses the real reason why parents are scared to have their children engage in premarital sex, why “soul ties” are blissful if experienced at the right time but dangerous if done otherwise, and how men’s temperament and childhood traumas affect their relationships and ultimately marriages. Brace yourself and open your eyes to an edifying, thought-provoking account of how men, sex, and even religion should be well-comprehended by women before they make some of the most important decisions they will ever make in life. What Mama Never Told Me about “Men” is volume 1 of a 3 part series.
