The Motherkind Podcast The messy and beautiful truth of Motherhood with poet Jessica Urlichs
Welcome to this week’s episode of the Motherkind podcast. Thank you for being here and pressing play.
This week’s episode is something a bit different. It is with Jessica Urlichs. Jessica is an author and poet who lives in New Zealand with her husband and two young children.
I wonder if some of you might have read her words because they often go viral on Instagram. Read one of her poems and you’ll see why. They go to the heart of being a mother.
She is the author of 3 poetry books - From one mom to another, All I see is you and My after all. She is also a bestselling author of a the children’s picturebook called A rainbow in my heart.
IN THIS EPISODE YOU’LL LEARN ABOUT:
- How to find inspiration from your innate creativity
- How a shift in perspective can help you see your children’s challenges differently
- Boundaries and social media
- She reads 3 of her favourite poems for us and explains the inspiration behind each of them - I have never heard of her doing this live before
This episode is beautiful. I loved speaking with her. And listening to Jessica read these poems felt like a balm to my soul. I really hope her words have the same impact on you.
As always, we continue the conversation over on Instagram, so come and join us there.
