“You Look Tired” a brutally honest talk with Jenny True

from Imperfect Parenting · host Ariel Andersson/Jennie True

Jennie True is an absolute gem! I loved this conversation! The great exhale.If you don’t mind a little profanity and shocking realism.. this episode is going to be the fresh air you’ve needed, this year.We cover from  being inclusive to the shocking realities of parenthood and doing “your thing” with littles around.Don’t miss this!_________About Jennie:Jenny Pritchett (alias Jenny True) is a nationally recognized columnist for Romper, where she publishes advice on pregnancy and parenting, as well as on her popular blog Jenny True: An Excruciatingly Personal Mommy Blog, which was a finalist for the Mom 2.0 2019 People's Choice Awards.Her new book: You Look Tired: An Excruciatingly Honest Guide to New Parenthood is in the tradition of Ali Wong and Amy Schumer, and is a whip-smart, spit-out-your-coffee funny guide for new parents. Plenty of "new parent" guides cover the basics of breastfeeding, bonding, sleep, and "getting back in shape." But nowhere is there a guide that tells you about the medieval act of pumping, why one shouldn’t turn to online pregnancy/parenting forums, and the answer to the question: WTF is this squeeze bottle thing from the hospital?YOU LOOK TIRED is a totally honest, tell-it-like-it-is guide for new moms and parents who don't want any more advice. Writing as Jenny True on her "Excruciatingly Personal Mommy Blog" and in the "Dear Jenny" column on Romper, Jenny has been called the "postpartum feelings doula," as she doles out her unique mix of humor, rage, and encouragement (with a smidge of practical advice), including:• Birth Hurts: Prenatal yoga is a waste of time.• Jabba the Hutt Was Just Postpartum: It explains so much.• and more.ADDITIONAL ADVANCE PRAISE:"In You Look Tired, Jenny Pritchett dishes out hilarious, in-your-face advice to overwhelmed moms and moms-to-be. If you don't have a trust fund, a live-in nanny, or the organizational skills to breastfeed elegantly while getting a pedicure, you need this book. In the voice of her popular alter ego Jenny True, Pritchett tells it like it really is, not the way it would be if you were floating through parenthood on a cloud of maternal fairy dust. There is no maternal fairly dust, people! Fortunately, there is Jenny True."—Michelle Richmond, New York Times bestselling author of five novels and two award winning story collections, mother of one, and Jenny True fan"A must-have for moms-to-be."—Bunmi Laditan, author of The Honest Toddler: A Child's Guide to Parenting"What a relief this book is."—Jancee Dunn, author of How Not to Hate Your Husband after KidsJennie Linkshttps://www.jennytrue.comhttps://m.facebook.com/jennytrueblog/www.instagram.com/Jennie_true_author_momhttps://vimeo.com/user101177627Buy the book:https://www.jennytrue.com/the-book_________ANNOUNCEMENTS:1.  FREE LIVE Midlife Fertility Q and A on youtube every Friday 10AM PST! New youtube videos  each month.__________Imperfect Parenting Coaching, Podcast and More!Imperfect Parenting Website:https://imperfectparenting.netImperfect Parenting Instagram@Ip_parentingMIDLIFE PREGNANCY:Instagram:@arielgreenanderssonSupport the showAs MENTIONED in the podcast: Times are strange in the world.. and there's so much possible..My gift for you.. is making my time more available to you during uncertain times:) I'm holding sacred space, just for my audience.What about a lift up? Space held for your story, going within, with a dash of clarity and grounding? $39 for 15 minutes of nourishing time.(click the link above)  If you enjoy that session.. and want more..
