Has being a Supermom left you feeling exhausted and unfulfilled? Are you ready to experience the joy and freedom of parenting on your own terms? If your answer is yes, then please accept this invitation to remove your cape and become an Intuitive Mother. Intuition is a gift that everyone receives at birth. Unfortunately, outside influences cause many people, especially mothers, to discount their inner knowing and surrender to social pressure. Often the choices women make in an effort to be recognized as "good mothers" take a significant toll on them over time. In The Intuitive Mother, Niki Elliott offers a spiritual solution to this challenge. By sharing the journey of her own personal transformation from a Supermom to an Intuitive Mother, she encourages mothers to validate, not suppress, their own intuitive abilities. She invites mothers to open their hearts and minds to the flow of divine wisdom so they can receive direct answers to personal life questions and parenting challenges at any time. The 21 daily meditations offered in this book help mothers awaken their intuitive abilities and turn within to create a life that truly flows with greater ease and authenticity. By her own example, Niki proves that mothers can be liberated from Supermom Syndrome and experience the peace of parenting through the guidance of the spirit within.
