ABC News reporter Genevieve Shaw Brown was hell-bent on raising her kids to like vegetables and eat more than chicken nuggets for dinner. She woke up at five a.m. every morning to prepare perfectly portioned meals of turkey meatballs along with veggies, couscous, mashed cauliflower, and sliced fruit for her small children.
Feeling sluggish and tired most of the time, she realized that she had never considered eating what she made for her kids. After that, Brown put herself on the "Baby Diet." She felt better, lost those stubborn pounds, and prepared a short segment on her new diet for Good Morning America that went viral.
What happens when you treat yourself the way you instinctively treat your children? From sleep training to exercising to making time for friends, Brown shares her own stories, expert advice, and innovative hacks to address the common issues mothers face while teaching women how to care for themselves with the same love and attention they give their children and families every day. The Happiest Mommy You Know is the life-changing and incredibly positive approach to the challenges of modern parenting—and gives parents permission to finally treat themselves better.

      Brown (Ditch the Play Dates) has written an effective self-help book that tells readers something they already know and inspires them to act on that knowledge. She developed her book from a segment she created for Good Morning America on how she lost weight by feeding herself the meals she feeds her own children. Her basic advice is “Do for yourself what you instinctively do for your children every day.” This means eat well, see your friends, make time for your primary relationship, exercise, see the doctor regularly, take time away from your children, and get a life coach or therapist if you need one. She doles out suggestions in a conversational tone, mixing personal anecdotes with research in an accessible way. She lives a harried, albeit privileged life as a married professional living in Manhattan and working for ABC News. Readers may not relate to her penchant for turning her son into “the best-dressed kid on the Upper East Side,” but they’ll likely relate to her tendency to dress in workout clothes while garbing her children better than herself. Her primer on maternal fulfillment is entertaining and affirming but hardly groundbreaking.
