Yes. These poems are designed for real mom life—the bathroom break, the pickup line, the minute before your next Zoom call. Most poems take under a minute to read.

You don't need a meditation cushion or uninterrupted time—grab it when you can.

Because this requires zero performance from you. No tracking habits, no daily commitment, no "doing it right." Just words that remind you you're human when you feel like a malfunctioning robot.

It works when you're too tired to optimize anything else. It’s not grounded in the 93% man-built productivity system (Adachi, 2024), and it’s tech-free so you avoid the “Now what was I doing?” that comes with doing anything on your phone.

Poetry’s met people where they are for centuries. It can meet you there, too.

These aren't flowery, academic poems that require a literature degree. They're written by a drowning mom, for drowning moms.

Think less Shakespeare, more "I thought it was just me." No poetry background necessary.

If Poems of a Burned Out Toddler Mom doesn't help you feel more like yourself within 30 days of delivery to you—with real brain rest when choosing it instead of your phone—I'll refund your purchase price.

Snap a pic of the undamaged book and send it with a note to hello@zoemilesloeser.com sharing why this didn’t work for you. I’ll respond with a prepaid shipping label.

Once the package ships within 30 days of delivery to you, I’ll give 100% of your money back. (U.S.A. orders only)

This is print-on-demand meaning your book is created fresh to order (my precious executive functioning would sink the biz if I had to ship them myself).

Expect 5-7 business days for printing plus 3-5 business days shipping within the US. International orders take 10-15 business days total.

Raise your right hand and repeat after me, "I solemnly swear not to work for free." Now we're on the same page, no—I only sell this book through my website.

It’s traditionally accepted for authors to live in “starving artist” territory, so many self-publishers get away with paying authors what’s passible. I found a provider who lets me set a livable profit margin, so when you see those shipping times and fees, feel good about patron-ing the on-demand (+B Corp!) company that lets me have a business rather than a hobby.

I am many things; a therapist is not one of them. This isn’t medical advice or treatment, but I’m a fan of therapists, treatment, and medication (#zoloft4life).

I also do not guarantee the results I mention in my website. My claims are based on research of what putting down our phones and picking up art can do for our brains, but everyone is different.

And if it doesn’t work for you? A-okay, mama. Try it risk-free with a 30-day guarantee.

Oh, definitely not. This little book and your tired, precious brain are no match for trillion-dollar tech giants whose business model feeds off your scroll time.

This book is built to give you a better break—science says reading poetry activates your brain's rest mode and lowers stress hormones—no apps, no performance, no doing it “right.”

So go ahead: swap a chunk of your 4.8-hour daily scroll (Statista, 2023) for real recovery.

And if it doesn’t work for you? A-okay, mama. Try it risk-free with a 30-day guarantee.
