Motherhood: The Full Story with Alena Dillon Parent Footprint with Dr. Dan

Dr. Dan interviews author (and mother) Alena Dillon about My Body Is A Big Fat Temple, her memoir about the grit and glory surrounding pregnancy and motherhood not often discussed.  Comedian/writer/actress Amy Schumer writes about Alena’s book, "Alena Dillon is one of my favorite writers and to read her journey through pregnancy is a great joy and heartbreak."
Alena discusses marriage, morning sickness, motherhood, mom guilt, body changes, breastfeeding, baby blues, the heartache of not loving her son as she thinks she should, pandemic parenting, being present, postpartum depression, selfcare, singing, and her new running regime with Dr. Dan.
Alena’s book Mercy House is set to be adapted into a series by CBS All Access, the CBS network’s streaming platform, with Amy Schumer acting as an executive producer.  For more information about Alena Dillon, My Body Is A Big Fat Temple: An Ordinary Story of Pregnancy and Early Motherhood, and Alena’s other books  go to www.alenadillon.com.
