Today, May 22, 2025, maternal health advocate, bestselling author, and Mama Glow founder Latham Thomas announces the release of her debut meditation audiobook, Peaceful Parenting: Mindful Meditations for Pregnancy, New Parenthood, and Promoting Harmony at Home, published by Simon & Schuster Audio Originals.
At a time when parenting often feels more demanding than ever, Peaceful Parenting offers a sanctuary—a space for restoration, reflection, and intentional care. This 3.5-hour audio program invites listeners to slow down, breathe deeply, and reconnect with themselves and their families.
“This album is a love note to anyone on the path of parenting,” says Latham Thomas. “Whether you’re preparing to give birth, adjusting to life with a newborn, or raising young children while trying to stay grounded, the meditation offerings are here to hold you, to remind you of your power, and to help you parent with grace.”
Peaceful Parenting features 20 original meditations that guide parents through common milestones and challenges: preparing for labor, bonding with baby, managing anxiety and sleep deprivation, building confidence, releasing guilt, and more. In addition to guided meditations, the album includes breathing exercises, mindful affirmations, visualization journeys, and journaling prompts designed to promote healing, ease stress, and support emotional well-being.
Rooted in evidence-based practices like somatic awareness and guided visualization, Peaceful Parenting blends ancient wisdom and modern neuroscience, drawing from Latham’s two decades of experience in women’s wellness and birth work. The meditations vary in length and tone, allowing listeners to return to them as daily rituals or tools for moments of overwhelm.
“Parenting begins before birth, and every stage requires intentional tending,” Thomas continues. “We created this project to be a companion for your journey—something you can return to in joy, in chaos, in exhaustion, and in celebration.”
Latham Thomas is a renowned doula, Ivy League professor, and advocate for birth equity and reproductive justice. She is the founder of Mama Glow, the global maternal health and education platform that has trained over 3,000 doulas across six continents. She also leads the Mama Glow Foundation, a nonprofit advancing maternal health through education, advocacy, and the arts.
Thomas’ previous books—Mama Glow and Own Your Glow—have been hailed as guides for maternal empowerment and intentional living. Peaceful Parenting continues this lineage of soulful, practical tools for transformation.
