Second Moms
The Healing Power Of Women Who Love Us As Their Own
by Shin-Yu Lee
Unlock the Transformative Power of "Second Moms."
​
The journey to adulthood is complex, and even the best mothers can't provide everything we need. Enter the “second moms” or “other mothers”: mentors, friends, and guides who shape our lives in unexpected ways. Although widely experienced, their significance remains seldom explored—until now.
In Second Moms, Dr. Shin-Yu Lee shares her personal journey of being "re-raised" by four extraordinary women who helped her break generational patterns and find her own path.
This book offers readers the tools to:
-
Define unmet needs
-
Recognize mentors from past and present
-
Harness these women’s wisdom
-
Create a growth-oriented village
Heartfelt and humorous, this book empowers young women to create multigenerational relationships that give us liberating permission to be our authentic selves.
