Summary
Zibby speaks to New York Times opinion columnist and author Jessica Grose about her fierce and timely new book Screaming on the Inside: The Unsustainability of American Motherhood. Jessica shares the details of her complicated pregnancy, her thoughts on unrealistic parenting expectations and this country’s systemic constraints on mothers (like a complete lack of perinatal mental health care), and her suggestions on how to fix all of this (they include affordable childcare and normalizing asking for help). Finally, she talks about her impressive career in journalism and shares advice for mothers.
