ABOUT THIS BOOK

‘before you continue on this beautiful journey, ask yourself: what is the thing that defines you?
not as a mother, not as a wife, but as you.’
More than a Mama is a heartfelt, unrelentingly honest memoir that portrays the life-changing
wonders of motherhood. From pregnancy to postpartum, the author traces her journey as she filters
expectations from reality and busts common myths. She creates a world that prioritizes her needs as
an individual and a mother and provides valuable insights on diet, fitness and mental health during
pregnancy as well as postpartum.
Candid, light and effervescent, the book explores various themes such as how to read the signs of
your body, how to develop a covetous mind–body connection, how to eat what is right for you,
how to customize your own workout and diet plan and, above all, how to boost your confidence
as a mother.
Followed and loved by millions worldwide as an actor and content creator, Chhavi Mittal opens herself
up through her writing and shares her secrets of how, slowly but surely, she learned to do it all.
