GROW: Motherhood, Mental Health & Me is Sunday Times bestselling author Frankie Bridge's deeply personal exploration of the mental health challenges that come with becoming a mother.

About the Book. In GROW, Frankie Bridge opens up about her journey with maternal mental health in a way that is both raw and relatable. The book is structured around the anxious questions every parent silently asks themselves — the "How Tos", "What Ifs", "Will Is" and "Why Dos" — as she unpacks the hidden growing pains of becoming a mother while still growing into herself. Frankie doesn't shy away from the harder truths of parenthood: the guilt, the exhaustion, the loss of identity, and the pressure to appear as though everything is under control. Interwoven with her narrative are professional notes from a clinical psychologist, who helps unpack the psychological challenges new mothers face, alongside additional parenting and developmental guidance from a respected UK paediatrician. This combination of lived experience and expert insight gives GROW real weight as both a comforting companion and a genuinely useful resource. Praised by high-profile figures for its honesty and readability, the book has resonated strongly with parents navigating the postnatal period, offering the reassurance that no one is failing alone. Whether read cover to cover or dipped into during difficult moments, GROW is designed to sit on a nightstand as a source of comfort during the most disorientating chapter of a parent's life..
