Just a Busy Season - Essays on Motherhood, an Unexpected Comedy

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.
