Summary

Is motherhood really the hardest job in the world? Is there such a thing as a biological clock? Is motherhood the highest calling? And is it true that you can’t truly know love until you’re a mother?

For Erin Lane, the mythology around motherhood has gotten out of hand. “How did we make motherhood an occupational, performative, identity based measure of worth?”

This week, we speak to Erin Lane about these questions, and how being an Enneagram 5 has helped her break out of the scripts our culture gives her for motherhood.
