Meet Karen Taylor Bass, Blogger of the The Brand New Mommy and PR Expert - Jan 19,2011
At 37, I got married and had an instant family (simply add water and stir). www.TheBrandNewMommy.com
I decided to leave my hi-profile PR job to enjoy and get to know my new family. My bonus son, Sebastian, had tragically lost his mommy on September 11th. I was determined to love Sebastian and give him the mommy love he needed post September 11.
At 40, God blessed me with a baby and an unpredictable pregnancy; I was diagnosed with placenta previa eight months into my pregnancy, which caused me to be hospitalized and on bed rest for 6 weeks.
I remained prayerful throughout my blessing that all would be well.
I delivered baby Sofia via C-section, experienced internal clotting, which led to 2 blood transfusions and by the miracle of God I was introduced to my baby nine hours after giving birth.
The journey allowed me to breast feed for one year, gain 40 pounds,and experience mild postpartum. My self-esteem and "brand" plummeted to an all time low.
With the support and coaxing of my husband, I joined a support group and slowly started the healing process and today stronger than ever.
137 Pounds- The Brand New Mommy; June 2010
With the economy on a decline, the lack of strategic opportunities for "experienced" public relations professionals I was forced to re-evaluate my next steps.
At the tender age of 43, I experienced an "Aha" moment, after talking to many moms in the same predicament as myself … moms looking to recapture self, renew and redefine their purpose/brand.
At that very moment, thebrandnewmommy.com was conceived and now delivered to you with love.
