- Summary:
- 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.
