A much-needed voice of encouragement for every woman who had a baby and lost her mind
Sometimes, motherhood feels never-ending. A child is born, chaos ensues, and it seems like life will never return to normal.
In You Are a F*cking Awesome Mom, award-winning journalist and Instagram star Leslie Anne Bruce acknowledges that, yes, motherhood is a total mind f*ck—but then she offers the self-empowerment lessons new mothers need to get through the psychic upheaval and emerge stronger than ever. After childbirth, a woman's body, her relationships, and her very sense of self are tested like never before. Bruce encourages readers to look past the sugarcoated truisms about the miracles of child-rearing in order to embrace the real joys of motherhood, spit-up stains and all.
Loaded with unfettered support from a mom who has been through it all, You Are a F*cking Awesome Mom offers a lifeline of encouragement, inspiration, and community for the new mama who got a baby, lost her mind, and desperately wants to find herself again.

      Aimed at moms who blame themselves for the chaos that children bring into their lives, this audio will free tortured souls. Part of its winning formula is that Leslie Bruce's writing is as authentic as writing can be. She's a faithful observer of not just her personal experience but also the cultural landscape, the one that blames mothers, and women more generally, for any discomfort they feel. As an audio, her familiar cadences and fearless intimacy are highly effective; she sounds like someone you know, trust, and believe. Her use of tough language and blunt imagery enhances the audio's "don't blame yourself" message. Her uncensored reactions and venting offer tangible examples of how mothers can accept and express their feelings instead of silently judging themselves. T.W. © AudioFile 2020, Portland, Maine
