Becoming a mother is magical. You’re bringing new life into the world! So sweet. It’s also messy, complicated, confusing, exhausting and sometimes disheartening — but no one really likes to talk about that stuff. Wouldn’t it be so nice to have someone to relate to over the more difficult times though — someone to make you laugh and remember that you’re doing just fine?
Introducing #IMomSoHard — the audiobook! This audiobook comes from the stars and co-creators of the mega-popular web series of the same name. Kristin Hensley and Jen Smedley are two hilarious, down-to-earth moms are on a mission to talk about the real side of having kids, not just the Instagram-friendly, everything’s-always-perfect side the public normally sees. The best part? You can listen for free on Audible when you sign up for a trial!

Let’s make one thing clear: This isn’t a self-help audiobook. It’s not going to tell you how to parent or mom-shame you for any possible mistakes you’ve made or certain techniques you’ve tried. It’s going to be more of a companion for you — one that lets you know that all of the weird things you’re experiencing in your new role are actually totally normal, and it’s okay to laugh about them. Seriously, prepare to laugh. A lot!
If you’ve been waiting to finally hear someone talk about realistic post-pregnancy bodies, the struggle of keeping kids happy without driving yourself up the wall, sex after marriage and all of those other typically taboo topics, you’ll love this audiobook. Of course, the ladies also discuss their love for wine. They don’t shy away from serious topics though! A few things they cover in this audiobook are “postpartum depression, bullying and the dark thoughts that plague every mom.” If you’ve been waiting for someone to really understand what you’ve been going through, then you’re going to want to check this out.

It’s not always easy to schedule time away from your kids with your other mom friends to catch up on all things motherhood. Maybe you don’t even know too many people in real life who can relate at all. Luckily, you can throw on this audiobook any time you can catch a little break, whether you’re simply going to the bathroom for a few minutes, cleaning up toys at the end of the day or driving home from a playdate drop-off. Hensley and Smedley are always ready to talk it out. They’re throwing any concept of “perfection” out the window and celebrating any and every small victory instead. As the book description says, even passing with a “C” deserves a “congratulations”!
