Jess Urlichs is a writer living in New Zealand with her husband and two under two human babies and two fur babies. She is an author of two poetry books, ‘From One Mom to a Mother’ and ‘All I See Is You’ and a children’s picture book on emotions called ‘The Rainbow in my Heart‘, inspired by her little man. Jess loves blogging and writing down her thoughts and in turn she has a beautiful community on Instagram and Facebook of other like-minded mothers who are here for the messy and beautiful truth of motherhood.
Jess shares:
- Her transition to motherhood from her first baby to two babies under two, to now, with two toddlers. The dark and the light and how Jess manages the darker moments of mothering.
- The biggest pressures for mothers of babies and young children, right now;
- Differences between mothering in Jess’s Mum’s generation (that’s my generation too) and expectations for the modern mother;
- The impact of isolation on new Mums and creating a balance between an online and ‘real life’ village;
- Mothering her highly sensitive child, the inspiration for Jess’s delightful new book ‘The Rainbow In My Heart’; little children’s big feelings and creating teachable moments around story time.
