About this listen

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.

Critic reviews

"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

So relatable

This book was a balm to the soul.
We are our own worst critic and think everyone is managing much better than us, but we're all in the same boat.
Thank you for showing that there are many ways that lead to the same goal, and that we are strongest if we support, not judge, each other.

A good listen for all mums

This was very relatable, generously honest and pretty funny. I could relate to a lot and it Leslie's experiences made me feel less alone in the motherhood struggles. I especially appreciated the mental health chapter and think more people should talk as kindly and candidly about their experience as Leslie did.
