#226 - A five-time New York Times bestselling co-author, returning Atomic Moms guest, and Lauren Conrad's frequent collaborator/b.f.f., LESLIE ANNE BRUCE joins us in our podcast studio to discuss the MIND GAME that is early motherhood and her new book You Are a F*cking Awesome Mom: So Embrace the Chaos, Get Over the Guilt, and Be True to You (September - Hachette Book Group). We discuss why Newborn-land is so treacherous for Type A overachievers. We share our birth experiences and the post-baby marriage fireworks (not the pretty kind). And we compare notes on how we organize our lives now that we both have two kids.
