Today we are revisiting one of my fav episodes, with Sarah Hoover talking all about her incredible memoir, "The Motherload: Episodes From The Brink Of Motherhood". We have an honest conversation about the life-changing experience of motherhood, while pushing back against the rosy narrative we've been sold. Whether you are a mom, about to become a mom, or thinking about becoming a mom, this episode is for you!
In this episode, I had an engaging conversation with Sarah Hoover, an author and former art director, about her personal journey through motherhood and the challenges of postpartum depression, as detailed in her book "Motherload." We explored the misconceptions surrounding the instant bond between mother and child, as Sarah candidly shared her own struggles with disconnection and depression after giving birth. Her relationship with her husband, artist Tom Sachs, added another layer to our discussion, as he encouraged her to be brutally honest in her writing, even if it meant portraying him negatively. Sarah's insights were both relatable and thought-provoking, making this episode a powerful exploration of the realities many women face in their journey through motherhood.

Join Hallie and Katie on this week's episode of Between Us Moms as they welcome the incredibly candid and insightful Sarah Hoover, author of the acclaimed memoir, ‘The Mother Load: Episodes from the Brink of Motherhood.' Sarah is a writer, art advisor, and mom-of-two who has captivated readers with her raw and honest portrayal of the realities of pregnancy and new motherhood.In this deeply personal conversation, Sarah opens up about why she decided to write a book about her experience with postpartum depression. ‘It burned its way out of my body,' she tells Hallie and Katie. ‘If writing this book had been illegal and punishable by death I still would have written it.' Sarah, who experienced PPD after the birth of her first child, Guy, 7, explains that the subject matter felt ‘urgent.' In the depths of her own depression, Sarah says she searched for literature that might make her feel seen and less alone, but was left empty handed, so writing the memoir felt ‘non-negotiable,' adding that it was coming out of her body ‘one way or another.'In the book, Sarah reveals how having a baby impacted her marriage, delivering an unflinching look at the struggles many couples face in the transition to parenthood. Now, Sarah offers an update on her relationship, saying they have emerged stronger and more connected than ever.Sarah also explains why she decided to have a second child after the trauma of her first and shares the steps she took to ensure a vastly different and more positive experience in the delivery room and postpartum. Sarah delivers a powerful message of hope for any mother currently struggling and reminds us that even in the darkest moments, there is light at the end of the tunnel.Now, Sarah says she's in early talks with producers and would love to turn ‘The Mother Load' into a television series. Naturally, Hallie and Katie have some casting suggestions.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Sarah Hoover knows her new memoir, “The Motherload,” isn't flattering. She's made peace with the fact that “people will judge me on the internet,” as she says on this week's Big Books and Bold Ideas.She's telling her story anyway because she believes an honest rendering of modern motherhood is necessary. “In my defense, birth and motherhood did not match up to the narrative I'd been fed, and it felt like a nasty trick,” she writes. “And while my mental breakdown was embarrassing at times, especially considering how it exposed me as a puerile and spoiled little fool, it also showed how pernicious it is to sell tales of motherhood as being so wonderful and feminine, the very essence of womanhood.” Hoover's memoir is brutally honest about the disassociation and rage she felt the year after her son was born, and how her eventual diagnosis of postpartum depression felt like like both a relief and a betrayal. She joined host Kerri Miller on this week's show to talk about the taboos of motherhood, the trad wife trend and why she was compelled to go public with her story. Guest: Sarah Hoover's new memoir is “The Motherload: Episodes from the Brink of Motherhood.” She lives in New York with her husband and two children.

The gang discusses two papers that look at two Lagerstätten (fossil localities of exceptional preservation). The first Lagerstätte is a unique complex early Triassic community found near the equator, and the second Lagerstätte is a collection of exceptional trace fossils from the Pennsylvanian. Meanwhile, James is convinced in the existence of a town that doesn't exist, Amanda takes an unexpected break, and Curt once again needs to be redacted. Up-Goer Fiver: (Curt Edition) The friends talk about two papers that look at times when there was a lot of things in the rocks that we do not get in the rocks during most times, and these times can let us know that there were a lot more things were living at this time. The first paper talks about rocks during a time when usually there is not a lot going on because it was just after a time that most things died. Most rocks at this time do not show a lot of things living. These rocks are cool because they are just after the time almost everything died and they show the things that we know lived through that, and that they are all together in a way that looks like the groups of animals we see in rocks way later. The second paper looks at changes in rocks that are because animals move through or on the ground and that gets in the rocks. This area has a lot of these rocks with the bits of animals moving which lets us know a lot about what things were doing on land a long time ago. References: Dai, Xu, et al.

Anyone who had been involved in military life can relate to the stress it puts on a family and Juel is now living through it was a middle-schooler who has big feelings.

Motherhood is, without a doubt, the best thing that has ever happened to me. It has molded me into a better, stronger, more loving, and compassionate person. I never knew how much my heart could love until I had children. Motherhood has also made me very tired, a bit more anxious, and even more of an over-thinker and worrier. If you're a mom reading this, I'm sure you might be able to relate to a few of these. While we want to do everything we can for our children and be a good mom, sometimes (or oftentimes) we over-extend ourselves because we want to show them (and maybe the world) how much we care. It comes from the very best of intentions, but it can lead us to take on too many responsibilities and commitments. The load that we carry as mothers is heavy. That's why we refer to it as "the mother load." And while, of course, we would do anything for our children, mothers need to remember this . . . all of those things were never meant for one person to carry. Our guest, Erica Djossa, knows all about the mother-load that she literally wrote the book. She talks to us in-depth about this topic and how mothers can make a change for the better. Who is Erica Djossa? Erica Djossa is a registered psychotherapist specializing in maternal mental health with over a decade of experience. She is the author of Releasing the Mother Load: How to Carry Less and Enjoy Motherhood More, CEO and founder of Momwell, and the host of the Momwell podcast. As a mother of three rambunctious young boys, Erica understands first-hand the challenges of motherhood. Perfectionism, pressure, and loss of identity fueled her battle with postpartum depression, and she realized how difficult it is to seek care. She founded Momwell to set a standard of care for providers and ensure mom-centered specialized mental health support at any stage of motherhood. Erica has been featured in media publications, including Time Magazine, USA Today, The Toronto Star, Breakfast Television, and Scary Mommy. What Did We Discuss? In this episode, we chat with Erica about the invisible “mother-load” all moms carry and how moms can learn to carry less and enjoy motherhood more. Here are several of the questions that we covered in our conversation: What are some of the most common mental health issues you see in mothers today? Where does this "invisible load" come from? How can we break away from it? So many modern moms feel pressure to be the "perfect mom.” Why is this harmful, and how can we change it? What are your thoughts on gender norms and how moms can end up carrying more of the load? How does this affect relationships? How do you recommend moms communicate with their partners about how they are feeling and how they can help? What is your advice for the mom who always feels like she needs to do and be “more”?

What have we done to our mothers? Sociologists call our times “the era of intensive mothering,” a period in which moms must be it all and do it all for their children and families. Psychotherapist and maternal mental health specialist Erica Djossa has made it her mission to teach today's mothers how to take care of their well-being in a sustainable way. In this podcast, Tami Simon speaks with Erica about her much-needed new book, Releasing the Mother Load, and the steps we can take to challenge the norms and change the culture around mothering. Enjoy this empowering discussion of: values-centered mothering; mothers as martyrs; the pressures facing a generation of “overinformed, overeducated, and overwhelmed” moms; equally sharing our household duties; the cost of cognitive or invisible labor; boundaries; using the “load map” to redistribute the work; “mom rage,” its roots, and the unique nature of anger in motherhood; identifying the “red light and green light” times for difficult conversations with partners (and sticking to them); overcoming perfectionism; self-compassion; re-parenting yourself while you're parenting your children; the disempowering belief that I'm failing as a mom; effective self-care for moms (it's not just bubble baths!); advice for making changes—start small; and more.
