When you discover you’re pregnant, it can feel like the world shifts on its axis. After New York Times opinion writer Jessica Grose had her first child, the experience set her on a new path to examine and excavate questions of what motherhood would entail - both the perception and the reality. In this episode, we discuss her book SCREAMING ON THE INSIDE, the trends she sees in her reporting, as well as places to have optimism for systemic changes to support moms.
