Publisher's Synopsis
Fertile Imagination is the jet engine you need to go after what you really, really want.
You can be a great mom without giving up, shrinking, or hiding your dreams. There's flexibility in how you pursue anything-your role, your lifestyle, and your personal and professional goals. The limitations on dreams you chase are waiting to be shattered. It's time to see and seize what's beyond your gaze. Let's bridge your childhood daydreams with your grown-up realities. Imagine skipping with your kids across any path-you, surpassing your milestones while your kids are reaching theirs. There's only one superpower versatile enough to stretch your thinking beyond what's been done before: a Fertile Imagination. It's the perfect kryptonite for impostor syndrome and feeling stuck when it's alert!
In Fertile Imagination, you will awaken your sleeping source of creative solutions. If you can wake up a toddler or a groggy middle schooler, then together with the stories in this book-featuring 25 guests from my podcast Unimaginable Wellness, proven tools, and personal anecdotes-we will wake up your former playmate: your imagination!
