Beautiful Chaos: On Motherhood, Finding Yourself and Overwhelming Love:
"I started reading Urlich's poetry freshly postpartum. I remember screenshotting her words and fumbling for them in the night when I felt exhausted and alone. She put what I was feeling into words effortlessly and made me feel seen. Somehow... more th"

“There’s a life in the future and it’s coming for us every day. So let’s get swept up in the beautiful chaos in front of us. Let’s make the future wait a little longer. Because I love this life with you so much, this one right now.”

“For I was your sun, the only warmth you needed before you saw a sunrise with your own eyes.
I was your star, before they dusted across your gaze with possibility and wonder.
I was your moon, your only pull, before you noticed the comforting light in the nights blanket.
I was your universe for such a short while, until you saw there was so much more.
But I will always be the earth, your roots grew here.
And you will always be my world.”
― From One Mom to a Mother: Poetry & Momisms

“Motherhood isn't a typical love story, it's the raw unedited version with all the outtakes, which is what makes it the most beautiful love story of all”

“You are not ‘just’ anything
Not just a woman
Or just a friend
A wife
A partner
Or just a mother
You are a universe
Made up of waves that brought life
Stars that hold dreams
Landscapes of home
Rocks that will crumble but will always remain
The winds gentle sway, and strongest roar
You are someone’s ‘all’
And ‘all’ is not lost
You are a mother
But never, just”
― All I See Is You: Poems and Proses on Motherhood
Not just a woman
Or just a friend
A wife
A partner
Or just a mother
You are a universe
Made up of waves that brought life
Stars that hold dreams
Landscapes of home
Rocks that will crumble but will always remain
The winds gentle sway, and strongest roar
You are someone’s ‘all’
And ‘all’ is not lost
You are a mother
But never, just”

“When I entered motherhood I walked through a little door, 'This Is Motherhood' it read.
Everyone sat there in stripey tops
Exchanging pleasantries.
Things scattered all over the floor
Bags over flowing
Nervous smiles
Connected by motherhood
Disconnected by unspoken truths
Then someone said, "I love being a Mum,
but this is also really hard".
Then suddenly I didn't feel alone anymore.”

“I want to tell you everything I know,
carry you and guide you.
Yet somehow,
as your tiny finger points to things in wonder
and your eyes meet mine,
the paradigm shifts.
I once thought I was to show you the world,
when all along you came to show me.”
