20. Reading motherhood 2020
A special TWENTIETH episode, with guest Laura Brading from WellRead. Featuring our top books of 2020 (+ anticipated 2021 releases) with themes of motherhood.
018. a narrative worth listening to
“It shook me, the idea of having a pre-mother self and post-mother self and thinking that you kind of have to rip the old one out of the book, that they’re entirely different beings, but I suppose you’re just getting more finely tuned as you go along.”
017. It just obliterated me
“I see having kids for me as just being this identity boot-camp and it became essential for everyone – myself, my kids, my partner – that I deal with a lot of the stuff that I’d never dealt with before, otherwise I just wasn’t going to survive it.”
014. maternal cravings
“I had ginormous maternalcravings, to the point where I look back now & think‘what was that’? I had that feeling for a long time.”
012. zero expectations
“As a parent to a child with a disability you really have to become an advocate and I didn’t really know what that meant, but it just means putting your foot down. I’m ruthless when it comes to Arlo.”
