We're excited to continue our motherhood series! Today Jeremy is joined by Michelle Akrami, Justine Cirullo, and Jess Gonyea. They react to a recent interview with Erica Komisar, where she laid out very counter-cultural but traditionally and logically obvious truths about motherhood, shame, attachment, and the cost of feminism.
This episode will encourage you to seek the ideal when it comes to motherhood, but to turn to the Gospel to heal the guilt or shame that can sometimes result from knowing you'll miss the ideal - a feeling that we should all be familiar with as Christians.
On this episode, we talk about:
1:25 How motherhood impacts all the different aspects of life
3:55 Erica Komisar on the optimal way to raise a child
6:39 Why can't we talk about "the ideal" anymore?
14:03 Erica Komisar on guilt and shame
18:34 Why is comfort suddenly the aim of our life?
25:26 Erica Komisar on a mother's instinct for empathy
29:42 Disordered attachment and a resistance to dying to self
38:22 Allowing motherhood to change you
