January Book of the Month: The Power of TED by David Emerald
Motherhood is a journey that transforms us in ways we never imagined. Along the way, it’s easy to fall into familiar roles — feeling like the Victim when birth plans change, seeing others as Persecutors when support falls short, or rushing to Rescue everyone at the expense of your own well-being. In The Power of TED, we explore a powerful alternative: stepping out of the Drama Triangle and into radical self-responsibility.
