About this listen

For My Daughter
Chop off my head and put it on your shield.
I will protect you until the day I die
And all the days after that.
You think I would let anything harm the perfection that sprang from my body?
That force that is me and infinitely you at the same time?
There is nothing in the world that could destroy us,
Not when a mere glance can turn men to stone.


Are you ready to view motherhood and raising kids in a new light? For My Daughter is a recklessly honest debut poetry collection that embraces the free-spirit of wild women everywhere.

Open this audiobook and be inspired by a fresh way of mothering, one that owes nothing to the world and everything to the children. Let go of outdated beliefs about who and what mothers and daughters should be and embrace everything you want. You can do it your way. The poems in this audiobook prove it.

Carpe Diem
It took me a while to realize that carpe diem means
Take the day,
Like literally take it,
That I could take it.

So I did.

And guess what?
They don’t make you give it back.
