A powerful series of stories, poems and affirmations exploring the raw beauty and challenges of motherhood from pregnancy, through birth and postpartum. Luna Lynn shares her wisdom from her own experiences as a new mother, inspiring all mothers to find the strength to face their fears, embrace the unexpected, surrender to each moment and trust in their intuition during the most challenging moments of motherhood.

The Strength We Carry is so much more than a piece of wisdom from one mother to another. It is a tool for all women and birthing people to refer to during their motherhood journey. Whether you are pregnant with your first child or fourth, whether you have gone through IVF treatments, have a surrogate, or have chosen to adopt, whether you are in your postpartum period or reflecting on these moments many years later, this is your reminder that you are not alone in this journey. With this book, Luna Lynn hopes to open a new dialogue among women and birthing people, to create a community space to discuss stories and work through trauma, so we may begin healing from decades of birth trauma and parenting stigmas.
