Many new parents share that they feel a shift in identity as they begin to care for a child in the house. It can be hard to identify what's changed and why. If you have ever found yourself as a parent thinking, “I feel the same but also so different, why?” or “what is happening to me? Why do I feel the way I do?”, or “who am I now that I am a parent?” this episode is for you.    Chelsea Conaboy, author of Mother Brain, shares that this transformation into new parenthood has a scientific basis, affecting mothers and all individuals caring for an infant. The brain is being rewired for nurturing. She will share her scientific research on why the brain undergoes profound changes and expose the flaws perpetuated by the myth that mothering is solely a woman's domain, known as "maternal instinct." In truth, these changes occur in anyone responsible for the ongoing care of a baby. Get ready to discover the science behind the shift in all our brains, regardless of gender or parental role.   IN THIS EPISODE: [3:03] Chelsea shares what drove her to write the book Mother Brain [6:36] Chelsea discusses the concept of maternal instinct versus the science of the brain when you become a parent [13:10] Discussion of the research in this field [18:13] What advice would Chelsea give to a new parent? She describes the guilt she experienced when she had her son [23:26] Chelsea dives into when you should seek help for your feelings and what she would change in our culture [29:36] There is an impact on the entire family dynamic when a baby comes into the home, affecting even the relationships you have with other parents [35:09] Chelsea would like to see more research in the area of fathers, non gestational parents and social policy  [38:01] Chelsea stresses that when you need help, ask for it, and a discussion of solo parenting and the shame they endure [45:18] Discussion of how the human brain has developed over time, Chelsea's view of family and how her research has informed her parenting   KEY TAKEAWAYS: The maternal instinct theory has been passed down through generations trying to explain what goes on within the brain of a woman who has a child or cares for a child.  Two things shape the parental brain. One is hormones, and the other is experience. Babies are such powerful stimuli for the brain that anyone caring for them also experiences hormonal changes. The bottom line for parents is that having a newborn is a process. It is hard, and that is normal. Accept that your brain changes when you commit to caring for an infant. Don't feel guilty if you struggle with how you feel inside.      RESOURCE LINKS: Stork'd - Facebook Stork'd - Instagram Stork'd - YouTube  Chelsea Conaboy - Website Mother Brain Book Chelsea Conaboy - Instagram   BIOGRAPHY: Chelsea Conaboy I am a health and science journalist.

For three years, I led the features report at the Portland Press Herald in Maine, where I edited weekly sections on arts and entertainment, books, food, and sustainable living. My writing has also been published by The New York Times, Mother Jones, Politico, the Boston Sunday Globe magazine, National Journal, The Week, ParentMap, and WBUR. I have been a fellow with the Poynter Institute, the National Library of Medicine and the Health Coverage Fellowship led by writer Larry Tye.  Mother Brain: How Neuroscience Is Rewriting the Story of Parenthood, published by Henry Holt & Co., is my first book.

Ever wondered if the so-called "maternal instinct" is a scientific reality or a societal construct? Join guest host Monica Cardenas as she delves into the fascinating world of neuroscience with Chelsea Conaboy, author of Mother Brain: How Neuroscience is Rewriting the Story of Parenthood. Together, they explore the intricate changes in parents' brains and debunking myths surrounding motherhood. Chelsea makes the argument for how understanding the science behind parental brain changes can relieve pressure on new parents, foster patience, and promote equal participation in caregiving, breaking away from traditional gender roles. She envisions a narrative that embraces the transformative aspects of parenthood while acknowledging the complexities and challenges that come with it. Some topics we cover include: The historical context of maternal instinct, revealing its roots in moral and religious ideas How hormonal changes and caregiving experiences shape the parental brain, challenging the idea of innate caregiving Scientific research that shows similar neurobiological changes in fathers and non-gestational parents The role of women in science and their contribution to reshaping societal perceptions The need to recognize new parenthood as a developmental stage, calling for changes in healthcare, policies, and societal perspectives Transcription is available here Buy Mother Brain: How Neuroscience is Rewriting the Story of Parenthood -- Become a Patron for access to bonus content and to support the podcast, or buy me a (metaphorical) coffee Follow us: Instagram | Twitter | Facebook | Tik Tok | Youtube | LinkedIn Subscribe to our newsletter for a weekly dose of all things WOMAN We need more women's stories in the world!. If you've enjoyed this episode,  please share, subscribe, rate and review on Apple, Spotify or wherever you listen to your podcasts Explore The Story of Woman book recommendations in the US and the UK - purchases support the podcast AND local bookstores

In today's clip she shares her findings on maternal instinct, matrescence (or the process of becoming a mother, likened to adolescence), and how to support families.

Here, in EPISODE 100 of the podcast, it seems fitting that CHELSEA CONABOY shares so many insights about how parenting changes parent's brains. *She talks about how Maternal Instinct is a story, not based on science* She describes research on these brain changes and what they might mean for our health* She talks about how our repeated efforts to check on our newborns, even before we really know how to care for them, is a reflection of some of these changes independent of mood disorders. Listening to her and reading her book paints a really stark picture that contrasts the stories we tell about postpartum and what the science actually shows.

New parents - especially moms - experience profound changes in the brain when they are expecting and welcoming a new baby. Health journalist Chelsea Conaboy explains how the caricature of "mommy brain" and its cognitive fog has it all wrong - parenthood actually has a neuroprotective effect, as the brain adapts to meeting the needs of children.
