Here’s an obvious statement: motherhood is hard. It’s so hard, in fact, that it can often feel like you’re not doing a great job. It’s actually why I started my blog Motherhood Uncensored, and why author Leslie Bruce wrote her newest book, You Are a F*cking Awesome Mom. Whether you’re a new mom or not, I think you’ll appreciate her honest, hilarious take on motherhood on this episode of Spawned.
Tune in right here right now!

Here are a few topics we discuss on the show:
1. Pre-baby and post-baby life, and how we can feel more like “ourselves.”
2. Self care: It’s more than a buzz phrase.
3. The hardest parts of motherhood
4. How to keep your marriage or partnership alive?
5. Social media and motherhood: The good, the bad, and the ugly
And a whole lot more… You can find Leslie’s hilarious new book wherever you buy your books. If it’s not at your local library, ask for it (but maybe when kids aren’t around). She’s also on Instagram, and her website Unpacified.
