Wisdom for mothers seeking to rediscover themselves after their kids become adults

One moment, your kids are tiny toddlers, and before you know it, they're all grown up! If you're finding yourself asking "What now?", this book is just what you need.

What Do I Want to Be When They Grow Up? is a cathartic and practical guide on how to rediscover yourself, set and achieve new goals, free yourself of negative emotions and thought patterns, and learn to love yourself and your changing body. Drawing on stories from her own life and those of inspiring mothers around her, Karen Johnson reveals everything she's learned in her parenting journey to help moms of adult kids and soon-to-be empty nesters renew their sense of purpose and confidently tackle a fresh chapter in their lives.

"What Do I Want to Be When They Grow Up? is the anthem for a generation of women who feel torn between the joys of staying at home with our kids and the languish of leaving careers and passions behind to do it. With humor, authenticity and candor, Johnson makes us feel seen, empowers us to take bold steps to move forward, and offers hope for the changes coming ahead."
