Produktinformationen zu „Mama's Voice (ePub)“
Mamas Voice is the product of a middle-aged Christian psychiatrist and mother who journals her life observations and experiences, hoping to pass on some life lessons to her children. What started off as random journaling of thoughts ended up being a published book released as a birthday present for her children.
The book is written in a random manner with life lessons ranging from self-esteem, bad habits, addictions, snobbery, conflict, money, selfishness, greed, and codependent relationships through to family dramas. The author attempts to capture some important life lessons with a touch of humor and rawness that depicts the real-life dramas. Both pleasurable and painful life observations and experiences are unapologetically expressed with a rawness that does not coat it with sweet candy. Its about real life seen through the eyes of a mother going through a midlife crisis and questioning most things she had taken for granted.
The messages are given as direct instructions to her children in second or third person voices and riddles. The messages are just as random as they entered the authors thoughts.
This is a light read for both the middle aged and young, who are questioning a few things in their worldview. Like the philosopher in the book of Ecclesiastes, the author grapples with certain life issues until she finally realizes that she cannot fix the world and she gives up control. The forty-five-year-old author starts off by writing a letter to her thirteen-year-old self and ends the book with her modified version of the Ten Commandments and a futuristic letter to her eighty-five-year-old self.

Autoren-Porträt von Esther Bganya
Dr. Esther Bganya is a Christian psychiatrist living in New Zealand with her husband and two children. Born in Zimbabwe in 1969 to parents who were descendants of polygamist chiefs, Esther grew up in a large, extended family, spanning into thousands of relatives, which she believes was her first social behaviors laboratory. She immigrated to South Africa in 1995 after completing her medical degree and completed her masters in psychiatry in 2000. She ran a private psychiatry practice for four years in South Africa before relocating to New Zealand in 2004, where she has worked in various roles including addiction, trauma, women’s mental health, and general psychiatry. She completed a diploma in theology in 2013, focusing on spirituality in mental health. Her job and voluntary roles supporting people with psychological issues in the church, extended family, and general community has exposed her to the intricacies of human behavior.Esther is a keen observer of human behavior and is a woman of few words but big thoughts. She enjoys journaling her observations on human behavior, and this book is a product of various life experiences and observations.
She loves reading, travelling, watching good movies, supporting charities, working out at the gym, and having philosophical debates with her children and husband. She cherishes her Christian heritage and is quick to admit that she is nowhere near perfection. This is her first published book, and she hopes to leave a legacy for her children and future descendants.
