Elisa Beach
Elisha began her writing career when a photo of her breastfeeding her daughter on the toilet went viral in 2015 and she responded by publishing an article in the Huffington Post entitled “I Drove The Internet Into a Frenzy Telling the Truth About Motherhood.” The article also went viral and was translated into various languages for publications across the world. She received messages from moms of all walks of life thanking her for sharing the truth about motherhood. This ignited a passion in her and she has since published several articles for the Huffington Post, started her own blog, The Mom Forum, and became a staff writer for the popular parenting blog Scary Mommy.
As a birth mom of three, adoptive mom of one and a stepmom of four step “adults," Elisha is the CEO and Head Laundry Avoider, Executive Chef, chauffeur and Director of Domestic Operations of a company of eight. Yes, you read that right... 8 kids! As a professional mom complete with a B.A. in Child Development whose work hours are 24/7, Elisha fancies herself a self care practitioner and advocate for moms. She is an avid blogger of mom truth and host of the podcast MomCare Mondays. She combined what she learned with her skills as a Certified Strategic Planner and self-published The Mom Selfcare Planner as a guide for every day moms to create a realistic selfcare practice. After hearing that the workbook changed so many moms’ perspective on selfcare, she decided to use the tools from the workbook and share more of her story in her current book, Balance Is Bullshit: The Truth About Motherhood and Selfcare.
Elisha currently resides in Los Angeles where she is raising her four kids she shares with her husband, actor Michael Beach, who happily closes cabinets behind her, locks all the doors at night, fills her gas tank and regularly encourages her to have “cackle” time with her girlfriends.
BALANCE IS BULLSH*T: THE TRUTH ABOUT MOTHERHOOD & SELF-CARE published by HCI Books in 2025.
