Natália Elias

What if real motherhood had nothing to do with what the manuals promise? In Motherhood with Braveness (and Valentina!), Natália Elias recounts, in intimate and direct chronicles, the experience of a mother who learns day by day—amidst exhaustion, guilt, love, and discoveries—how to balance life with a daughter who is also a mirror and a learning experience. Without ready-made formulas, this book doesn't teach: it embraces. An honest portrait of how mothering is, above all, becoming another version of yourself.

In While I Was Waiting for You, Natália, pregnant with her second child and living in Madrid during the pandemic, recounts the challenges of a difficult pregnancy far from her family in Brazil. Deconstructing the myth of "margarine commercial" motherhood, the book addresses exhaustion, pain, and anxiety without taboos. It offers reflections on the differences in childbirth between Brazil and Spain and maternal guilt, without losing its humor. Above all, it offers a supportive embrace to all mothers who struggle and survive in the daily madness.

Motherhood is chaotic, exhausting, fun, and unforgettable. In Double the Love, Natália brings together a collection of real stories about raising two young children away from family, where sleepless nights, exploding diapers, tantrums, co-sleeping, and unexpected adventures end up becoming the most precious memories. She portrays motherhood as it truly is: imperfect, challenging, and full of love. It's an invitation to mothers, fathers, grandparents, and all those who have ever loved a child to cherish the small moments that pass by too quickly.
