BYE BYE Wonder Woman
I started writing in 2022 to better understand the origins of my burnout, its causes, and the resources available to overcome it. This book tells the story of how I accepted the transition from Wonder Woman in autopilot mode, permanently managing all fronts, to Angélique today - at peace, accepting imperfections, letting go, frustrations, and especially more moments of joy and love with those around me.
This book is structured in three parts:
The challenges parenting in the 21st century
My personal story
The resources to overcome it
It draws on numerous book excerpts, newspaper articles, and statistics that nourished me and helped me better understand the issues of parental burnout worldwide.
This book is intended for:
Tired parents to break the silence and ask for help to make their voices heard
Confused and frustrated family and friends facing the emotional outbursts of a distressed parent, to better understand what this person is going through
Older children to better understand why mom/dad was so often tired and never had time to play
Button: order (in French) on Amazon.fr. UK version underway…
