Making mum feel like more than 'just a mum'

From Afternoons, 3:10 pm on 8 May 2023

Parenthood can leave us speechless. But Jessica Urlichs always seems to find a way to put into words the anxiety,   exhaustion and unvarnished joy that comes with raising children. She's a poet and children's book author, not just a mum of three in Christchurch. She has hundreds of thousands of followers on social media reminding other women, they are never just mums. As Mother's day approaches, her work captures the beautiful moments of motherhood as well as the  struggles with loss of identity, bearing the family's mental load and sleepless nights.
