What happens when motherhood collides with disappointment, longing, and the parts of ourselves we thought we had to bury? In this raw and resonant conversation, Dr. Becky sits down with The Push and The Whispers author Ashley Audrain to explore the complicated terrain of identity, self-trust, and the forms of self-preservation we rely on to survive — and stay human — in the midst of parenting. Together, they unpack what it means to hold space for all the parts of ourselves: the ones we show, the ones we silence, and the ones still trying to be heard. Because being a mother doesn’t erase who you are. It just makes the work of knowing — and owning — yourself that much more essential.

What if the idea of maternal instinct isn’t an inherent truth—but a cultural narrative that sets parents, especially mothers, up for self-doubt and isolation? In this episode, Dr. Becky invites us into a space of curiosity, questioning where our thoughts about parenting "naturally" come from, and why we might expect ourselves to figure it all out alone. Together with a close friend, she unpacks the quiet pressures baked into motherhood and challenges the comforting-yet-limiting binary of maternal instinct. What might parenting look like if we gave ourselves permission to learn, struggle, and seek support—just like we do in every other role?
