Valerie Probstfeld is an author who is leading the way with her insightful knowledge, lived experience, and valuable research in To Mom Is To Love: Pioneering a New Kind of Motherhood.
She takes readers on a powerful journey through life and motherhood. I enjoyed how each page is intentional, yet delivered with love, grace, and clarity. Valerie’s ability to authentically be herself and demonstrate vulnerability by sharing her personal experiences invites her audience to understand the power of connection and our relatability with one another.
She does an impeccable job of storytelling, yet provides incredibly insightful research on a variety of subjects that draws her readers in.
One of my favorite chapters was Chapter Eight, where Valerie shares a beautiful moment with her grandmother from her youth. She describes the power of a smile and how research supports the positive impact it can have. Valerie’s thoughtful reflection of her grandmother’s smile kindly extended to her reminds us of how small moments of connection can have a memorable impact.
Today, Valerie honors her grandmother’s legacy of sharing a smile with her children. This is an excellent reminder of how powerful memories can be created by a thoughtful smile and passed on from one generation to another. Valerie inspires readers by inviting them to deeply reflect upon the power of compassion and to carry love forward with meaningful intention.
To Mom Is To Love is a transformative book that is beautifully composed, yet undeniably delivers a strong impact well after the last page is read. Grab your copy today on Amazon!
