Madres quemadas : Cómo cuidar sin arder en silencio

When my children were little, I focused so much on doing everything right that I forgot to get to know them, and the worst part is that I never felt satisfied. I always felt inadequate. Back then, I would have given anything for a book like this, one that would wake me from that impossible dream of being the best mother in the world at the cost of disconnecting from myself. Contrary to what we see on social media or in magazines, the perfect mother doesn't exist. That's why these pages want to accompany you as you juggle your children, your emotions, your partner, your job, your dreams, and your urge to hide in a closet and cry every now and then without feeling guilty. "Parental burnout" —that fierce exhaustion that crushes your energy, patience, and joy— exists and is much more common than we think. I experienced it too, and I learned that flexibility, allowing yourself to make mistakes, and self-compassion aren't luxuries, but survival tools. Raising children is exhausting, but it doesn't have to be a journey of perpetual sacrifice where you're always last on the list. Raising children can (and should) also be an adventure where you remain true to yourself. This book is an outstretched hand, a kind mirror, and a gentle nudge to remind you that being a mother doesn't mean ceasing to be a person or having to do everything perfectly. Will you come with me? We'll cry, laugh, and plan imaginary getaways together. And, along the way, we'll raise them better, with less guilt and more love (for them and for ourselves).
