In this episode, I’m joined by Dr. Margo Lowy, a psychotherapist, author, and expert in maternal mental health, for a powerful conversation about the often unspoken emotional realities of motherhood. Dr. Lowy shares what led her to explore the concept of maternal ambivalence and how naming and normalizing our full emotional experience can transform the way we mother.
We discuss:
- What maternal ambivalence is and why it’s so misunderstood
- How embracing the “darker” emotions of motherhood can lead to deeper connection and confidence
- Why shifting cultural narratives around motherhood is essential for long-term mental health and healing
