About this listen

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.

I wish this book had been written when my kids were babies. It helped me make sense of why anxiety can ramp up after giving birth. Even though it's aimed at new mums I found it just as relevant now that my kids are teens. I'm going to buy the print version so that I can use the journal and highlight all the most useful stuff, which will probably be most of the book! I cannot recommend this book highly enough. Thank you Anna 😊

I don’t normally write reviews, but I wanted to thank the author for writing this book. It is helping me through pretty severe PPA and PPD. It’s so reassuring to know that other people have been through similar experiences and this book has helped me to recognise flaws in my thinking that I hadn’t even noticed. I have been struggling even while on medication and this book is helping so much. I would recommend for any new mums. I finished the book and immediately started listening again from the beginning. I put it on whenever I feel my anxiety start to build again. Thank you!

This book and the insight Anna shares on her Instagram and podcasts has truly helped me become a calmer, happier, more content and confident mother.
I wish all women were given it as there is no doubt it is full of help, support and wisdom that everyone would benefit from.
Anna including her own stories and experiences makes it really relatable and is reassuring.
The audiobook is excellent quality and although I have it in hardback too I personally find it easier to take in information through audio.
Can’t wait to read/hear her second book Know Your Worth which just came out!

Brilliant book for ALL mothers
