Summary

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.
