Poetry That Makes Motherhood Beautiful with Jessica Urlichs

I loved these poems by Jessica Urlichs so much that I ended up reading some to my son. Somehow, they take the unwieldy, much-discussed experience of motherhood and reframe it, distill it, and make it relatable in a new way. Isn’t it wild how effective great poetry can be? We discussed all of it and made each other cry. Check out her collection We Bloom Because of You.Share, rate, & review the podcast, and follow Zibby on Instagram @zibbyowens!** Want more?
