Resumen del Editor

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 listeners 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.

"For those of us who were shocked to discover that modern motherhood is a den of insanity, Leslie Bruce is a lifeline."—Jill Smokler, New York Times bestselling author and creator of Scary Mommy

"Finally, a mom who doesn't claim motherhood is all unicorns pooping glittery rainbows. Moms need this book."—Karen Alpert, New York Times bestselling author of I Heart My Little A-Holes

"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

Relatable and comforting

It was nice to hear another mom’s experience of what it’s like to be a first time mom. Makes this crazy world feel a little less daunting.
Thanks Leslie for sharing your stories and little wisdoms with all of us.

Zoinks shaggy I am not alone!

I am loving the realness of this book. I've feel like I'm sitting on a couch talking to a best friend drinking my favorite kettle one vodka and getting verbal hugs (I'm not a touchy person) the reassurance from breastfeeding to weepy anxiety that occurred after all 3 kids (and I'm sure beyond should I just keep squirting them out) Is more than uplifting. Definitely will be sending this to every new pregnancy (not just new mom) I have pop up in my village!

Loved it!

I'm a new mom and this book felt like therapy!! Strongly recommended!! Very relatable and inspiring!

I must have had an easy baby or something

The parts about giving up breastfeeding and postpartum ocd really resonated with me. However, I found the rest of the book somewhat hard to relate to. I was expecting to relate to this more than I did.

Extremely truthful…I love it

The transparency is super real. I love this book as the author’s experience is so similar to mine.

An amazing read for all mommas out there

This book definitely helped pull me out of some dark shit!! Gave me a few good laughs and made me feel more normal as a mom of two.
Thank you

What EVERY Mom needs to hear!

Amazing!! Got me through postpartum blues!

Thank you !! This honestly saved me throughout the first few months of postpartum and really helped me as a new mom understand I’m not alone !! Loved this !
