Comedian and author of Birdie & Harlow @thedailytay shares an honest and hilarious essay collection on parenting young children, navigating social anxiety, and being a millennial woman.
"It's just a busy season," we say to ourselves after a chaotic morning (that we've had every day for the past three years). It turns out that season is actually just life, and here Taylor Wolfe explores the funny and dark side of all a busy life can entail. We've all found ourselves at a highway rest stop allowing our child to pee directly into our hands because she's scared of the toilet, right? Right? In her trademark voice--hilarious, poignant, and real--she dishes about everything from motherhood to the roots of anxiety (childhood and tornados, obviously), to the highs and lows of getting through whatever season we find ourselves in.
Just a Busy Season dispenses a necessary dose of hope and relatability as Taylor candidly reflects on how we cope, or don't, with the stress and unrealistic expectations of being a mom, daughter, woman, and person in the world without losing ourselves--or our sense of humor.
Critical Reviews
Critical Reviews
A deeply relatable and oftentimes laugh-out-loud funny exploration of the intersection of anxiety and new parenthood, and the invisibility that so many women feel when trying to navigate wholly unknown circumstances in a culture that too-often deprioritizes their experiences. I can't imagine a mother who will not see herself in -- and find comfort in -- Wolfe's story. - Jordan Reid, Creator of Ramshackle Glam
Hilarious, tender, and human, this is the chronicling of motherhood that moms deserve. When they say, 'You're gonna miss this, ' they're talking about how you'll feel when you finish this book. - Lyndsay Rush, USA Today bestselling author of A Bit Much
Every word of this book made me snort and laugh. This should be required reading for new mothers. You'll never look at your boobs the same way, and the world would be a much better place for moms if we had more books like this. - Jo Piazza, bestselling author of Everyone is Lying to You
Irreverent and insightful... With sharp humor and a keen eye for detail... These candid reflections will land with busy moms.
