The discoveries she makes about her body and mind translate into a compelling and poignant read . . . This book is a must-read for any women who hears the ticking of her biological clock."--Marika Lindholm ,CEO and founder of ESME.com (Empowering Solo Moms Everywhere) "'In the end, life dashed every expectation I had about how I would become a mother.' And yet, Sarah Kowalski did become a mother--just not in the way she had imagined. In this powerful, timely, and important memoir, Kowalski reveals how difficult it is to become a mother in your forties, and yet also how the journey has served as a beautiful and transformational process for her. Best of all, she helps anyone interested in becoming a parent who might be struggling with infertility, confused about reproductive options and technology, psychologically and emotionally distressed, and/or lost in the vast jungle of online information about IVF, adoption, sperm/ egg donation, and so on to navigate their way to motherhood. This book fills a gap in the literature on modern parenthood by offering wisdom, insight, and practical advice that will help you realize your dreams--one way or another."--Mei Mei Fox, New York Times best-selling author and contributor at Forbes " Motherhood Reimagined is a courageous journey through familiar life lessons. Using her embodied spiritual practice, author Sarah Kowalski faces her demons with vulnerability, humility, humor and insight."--Elena Brower, author of Art of Attention and Practice You " Motherhood Reimagined is a fascinating and intimate look inside the world of becoming a modern-day mother. An honest look at the emotional labor and physical challenges that arise on one woman's path to motherhood. Kowalski is relentless in her pursuit of becoming a mother, and grants us passage through her very own thick jungle of neuroses and tangles of self doubt while she bravely sharpens a machete of insight and truth to carve out her own path. A heroic and emotional journey that pulls you in and won't let you go until both the author and reader have found complete surrender."--Madison Young, author of Daddy: A Memoir and The Ultimate Guide to Sex Through Pregnancy and Motherhood, "In Motherhood Reimagined , Sarah Kowalski speaks to a generation of women who were told that they could have it all--only to discover that career success often comes at an emotional and physical cost.

Synopsis
At the age of thirty-nine, Sarah Kowalski heard her biological clock ticking, loudly. A single woman harboring a deep ambivalence about motherhood, Kowalski needed to decide once and for all: Did she want a baby or not? More importantly, with no partner on the horizon, did she want to have a baby alone? Once she revised her idea of motherhood--from an experience she would share with a partner to a journey she would embark upon alone--the answer came up a resounding Yes. After exploring her options, Kowalski chose to conceive using a sperm donor, but her plan stopped short when a doctor declared her infertile. How far would she go to make motherhood a reality? Kowalski catapulted herself into a diligent regimen of herbs, Qigong, meditation, acupuncture, and more, in a quest to improve her chances of conception. Along the way, she delved deep into spiritual healing practices, facing down demons of self-doubt and self-hatred, ultimately discovering an unconventional path to parenthood. In the end, to become a mother, Kowalski did everything she said she would never do. And she wouldn't change a thing. A story of personal triumph and unconditional love, Motherhood Reimagined reveals what happens when we release what's expected and embrace what's possible., Confronted by her approaching fortieth birthday with no prospective partner in sight, Sarah Kowalski decides to have a baby alone, first hoping she can use donor sperm donation, but eventually coming to terms with the fact that it's too late to use her own eggs. Facing a diagnosis of infertility, she grapples with what it means--emotionally and spiritually--to bring a child into the world via sperm and egg donation--and settles on her profound desire to be pregnant and bring a child into this world, regardless of the baby's genetic origins.
