My daughter started modeling at 12. By the time she was grown she had a Vogue cover, the Victoria's Secret runway, and a ranking as the 13th top working model in the world.
I was her mother. I was also her manager - the one reading contracts I didn't understand yet, sitting outside auditions, arguing with the school, and trying to work out where the line was between supporting her dream and running her life.
Nobody hands you a job description for that. I learned it the expensive way.
The Momager's Playbook is what I know now, written for the parent standing where I stood. It isn't only about modeling. Whether your child is drawn to acting, music, modeling or sport, the pressures are the same: the money, the schooling, the adults with their own agendas, the siblings who feel invisible, and a child whose sense of worth can quietly attach itself to whether the phone rings.
Inside- Protecting your child's emotional wellbeing when the work becomes their identity
- Advocating for fair treatment in industries built to move fast and ask questions later
- Building a life underneath the dream, so a rejection is a bad day and not a collapse
- Holding your family's values when everyone around you is calling them naive
- Knowing the difference between supporting a child's ambition and carrying it for them
Reflection exercises throughout, for the parts you need to think about rather than be told.
This is the book I wish someone had handed me the day my daughter said what she wanted to be. Give your child the best chance to thrive - on stage and off it.
