Behind every strong woman is often a circle of quiet heroes.
In Second Moms, Dr. Lee shares the transformative stories of the mentors, guides, and “other mothers” who helped her break free from generational patterns—and shows readers how to find that same powerful support in their own lives.
Heartfelt, humorous, and deeply empowering, this book is a must-read for anyone seeking authentic connection and a stronger, more supportive village.
Creating Space for Women’s Stories to Be Seen and Heard
Available for speaking opportunities.
The phrase “it takes a village” is often used to describe raising children—but it’s just as true for motherhood itself. To become the mothers our children need, we must be supported by a village of women who teach, challenge, protect, and nurture us.
In her talks, Dr. Shin-Yu Lee draws from clinical expertise and deeply personal stories to explore how second moms, mentors, and intergenerational connection help us break cycles of trauma, grow into our full selves, and raise the next generation with more freedom and wholeness.
Through honesty, humor, and hope, she invites audiences to begin their own healing journey—and create the village they deserve.
“When we honestly ask ourselves which person in our lives mean the most to us, we often find that it is those who, instead of giving advice, solutions, or cures, have chosen rather to share our pain and touch our wounds with a warm and tender hand. The friend who can be silent with us in a moment of despair or confusion, who can stay with us in an hour of grief and bereavement, who can tolerate not knowing, not curing, not healing and face with us the reality of our powerlessness, that is a friend who cares.”
