Many women find themselves at this crossroad at some point in their lives: I really want to have a baby, but what will happen to my body, career, dreams, and marriage? Before I had my son, balancing my needs and ambitions were no challenge at all. After becoming a mommy, I quickly realized that I needed to create some tools and tips to guide my family towards a healthy, happy, and abundant lifestyle. Noticing a need for other moms to learn how to be balanced postpartum, I started my first blog, www.MomsWearHeels.com. Turns out, there was so much information for all my fellow moms and readers that I had to compile it all in my book 7 Habits of a Healthy, Happy Mom. In this book you will find all the habits I developed to really be happy and healthy from the inside out. You will learn how I got my best body after baby with my workout tips and recipes and also find simple ways to nurture yourself. Plus you will discover ways to still allow yourself to dream big even though you are a mom! Becoming a mother should spark even more inspiration for you to have the happiest and healthiest life possible. Having children does not need to pull you away from self-actualization and realizing your potential. In fact, the tools in this book will show you how to be more healthy and happy today despite hectic schedules and demands many moms face.
Author Biography
Monica Bencomo, author of 7 Habits of a Healthy, Happy Mom, is a blogger, inspirational speaker, wellness coach, and restaurant owner. Opening up her first restaurant, Pasión Latin Fusion at age 25 with her husband, ambition and motivation have always been important values in her life. Once she had her first child November 2012, she realized she loved motherhood and wanted more children. This dream was interrupted by cultural conditioning: she second guessed if she could "have it all"; an amazing career, healthy lifestyle, and happy family life. Monica realized shortly thereafter that mothers must find that balance of living their life's purpose and nurturing their children in order to be truly happy and healthy. After appearing on the Food Network's show Restaurant: Impossible in March 2013, she was let go of her huge responsibility of managing Pasión Latin Fusion and now focuses on her Pasión, showing other moms how to lead healthy, happy and fulfilling lives. Chef Irvine confided in Monica that between all of her duties-being a full time mom, college student, restaurant manager and mommy-entrepreneur was too much. Monica relishes in the fact that she can focus on her passions: motherhood and inspiring other women. Join her on her journey towards radical self-realization and motherhood.
