Summary

Ever felt lost in life and wished you could just "check out" for a while? Once you're a mom, that is not an option. You barely have time to take a shower, let alone take time off to escape from reality and explore your life's purpose beyond your family. So what's a mom to do? Welcome to Jen and Barb's The Mothers of Reinvention. At 40, both happily married, both with children, Jennifer Pate and Barbara Machen were surprised to find that once they had everything they thought they always wanted, there was still something missing. Each with two kids in diapers, Jen and Barb set out on a journey to discover what it was they were still looking for and how to find themselves in the context of their families. And thus was their web series, "Jen and Barb, Mom Life," born. Nearly five years, two seasons, and over 50 million views later, Jen and Barb have interviewed countless women and experts for their award-winning show, and now in The Mothers of Reinventionthey share what they have learned. With chapters on finding happiness, navigating reinvention with yourself and your family, and tapping resources you may not have known you had, plus success stories of other Mothers of Reinvention, Jen and Barb shed light on the most pressing issues of contemporary motherhood to help other mothers find their place in the world and help kick-start their own reinventions.
