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

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.

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!

Zoinks shaggy I am not alone!

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.

I must have had an easy baby or something
