From One Mom to a Mother: Poetry & Momisms: 1 (Jessica Urlichs: Early Motherhood Poetry & Prose Collection)

Product Information

I really struggled with the monumental shift that becoming a mother can be, when I found Jessica’s poetry I felt seen, heard, less alone and validated. There was so much hope, comfort and passion in this book where I found encouragement that I was not alone in this journey. I'd read them with tears streaming down my face at 2am and know that at least I wasn't the only one who'd ever felt all of this overwhelming pain and love and fear. Jessica is also a best selling author of 'The Rainbow In My Heart', a children's picture book on emotions, with other books 'My Superpowers', and 'You Hung The Moon', a gift book for mothers. Laugh, cry, and connect with Jessica's passion and love for her children in this tale of self-discovery.

I have three children, with my youngest being 5 months, and these poems help to put certain things in a softer perspective. We take intellectual property concerns very seriously, but many of these problems can be resolved directly by the parties involved. It's not that I'm not a fan or dislike it, I enjoy reading poems when I come across them or when they're recommended. However having had my first baby in May and finding Jessica Urlichs poetry circulating TikTok videos I was up at 3:00 in the morning feeding my baby to it was an easy purchase. From One Mom to a Mother' is the first book in Jess's collection of poetry with 'All I See is You' being her second and her third and final in the series.

Some of the poems and pieces of prose hit me so hard in their raw truthfulness that it felt like a punch in the stomach. Her children's books are equally as wonderful, my little boy adored The Rainbow in my Heart so much and we regularly take the sentiments from it to help him through emotional ups and downs. Jessica Urlichs has a talent for capturing the mundane moments and fleeting thoughts experienced universally by parents and shaping them into something beautiful, relatable and meaningful.I cannot recommend this collection enough to new mothers, expectant mothers and parents of young children who are navigating the highs and lows of parenthood in all its wonderful and messy complexity. It felt like a “friend” I could turn to at 3am in the middle of a breakdown when no one else would understand. Motherhood and parenthood in general is the most beautiful and challenging thing I've ever done and it was refreshing to relate so heavily to another so much and to know I'm not alone. Jessica has also written a variety of children's books to help our young ones navigate their emotions and realise their superpowers.
