You Are a F*cking Awesome Mom

Why Moms-to-Be and New Moms Will Love It:

We couldn’t have said it better ourselves; This book is “A much-needed voice of encouragement for every woman who had a baby and lost her mind.” Written by two-time mama and award-winning journalist Leslie Ann Bruce, You Are a F*cking Awesome Mom is jam packed with support, inspiration, and encouragement directly from another mama who’s been there!

"I can't think of anyone better suited than Leslie to write a book on the first months of parenting. She is refreshingly honest, non-judgmental and always hilarious. And as a first time parent, I can tell you that sometimes you really need to laugh . . . so that you don't cry." —Lauren Conrad, designer, New York Times bestselling author, and mama

Book Description:

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.
