Summary
Baby-proof the house; panic-proof the mum.
Do you overthink what you said to the mum in the supermarket queue? Is your internal dialogue more critical than kind? Perhaps you wake to check your baby is breathing, or the sight of a rash sends you down an internet search rabbit hole. Whatever your level of anxiety, however much it impacts your life, this audiobook is for you.
Anxiety is making motherhood a less pleasant, more fraught and pressured experience, and we do not have to accept joy-sapping worry and energy-draining overthinking as part of the motherhood job description. In Mind Over Mother, Anna Mathur, psychotherapist and mum of three, explains how to:
- Understand anxiety, why it affects you and what to do about it
- Make your mind a kinder, calmer, happier place to be
- Transform your motherhood experience by addressing your thinking
The most powerful tool Anna has to communicate this isn't the letters after her name, it is the fact that she is open about her own experience of maternal anxiety. By sharing her journey, she gives you the confidence to reframe yours.
Mind Over Mother is full of light bulb moments of realisation. It will have you learning, laughing and loving yourself through the journey of motherhood. You will learn to address the most important conversation you'll ever have - the one inside your head, because investing in your mental health is the best gift you can offer yourself and your baby.

A kind and helpful read
Enjoyed reading this, the author is very warm and encouraging. Worth reading just for the salesman analogy on intrusive thoughts which I found very helpful.

The book which spoke to me , and gave me closure after 10 years!
I so wish I had this book when I was a young first time mum, the content of this book makes you feel so human and not alone when you navigate the early years of parenting! Even after parenting for 10 years successfully, I have experienced all the mum guilt , over thinking and intrusive thoughts associated with the part of doing the best job ever over these years. Anna’s beautiful words make you feel so normal and not alone in this journey. A definitely must read (listen in my case on audible) and feel so much more empowered in your life! I feel this book will help everyone, not only mums alone !

Genuine, heartfelt and honestly written
Feels like this book has been personally written for me. For too long I have let anxiety and intrusive thoughts control me and I feel like Anna has just given me a key to unlock and pick apart the monster within. Thank you Anna

Very useful !
I love Anna’s books, they are so easily digestible and make me feel like a friend is comforting me. I feel like this book is great for anxiety in general, not just relating to motherhood. Anna gives out so many useful tips and techniques. I’m planning to come back to it often.
