The Becoming-A-Mom Identity Crisis

Sarah Hoover is on the podcast and just wow. Conversations like these are the best thing about podcasting. Sarah gave birth and thought "Oh my god, what have I done?" Becoming a mother is insane and we need to talk about the insane parts. You have permission to complain. You can rant and moan about hard things and still be completely and wildly grateful for your life. Sarah is brilliant and relatable and calming and hilarious. Her memoir The Motherload: Episodes From The Brink Of Motherhood comes out January 14th.

This episode includes discussions about sensitive topics, including suicidal thoughts and sexual assault. Please take care of yourself while listening.
