Modern Mom Probs

In this week’s Modern Mom Probs episode, New York Times opinion writer and author Jessica Grose joins the show to discuss her new book, Screaming on the Inside: The Unsustainability of American Motherhood.

Known for her excellent coverage of parenting in the pandemic, Jessica really has her finger on the pulse of modern parenting. Her work is helping dismantle unrealistic parenting expectations. In doing so, she empowers today’s mothers to make choices that serve themselves and their families.

In this timely and important conversation, Jessica and Tara discuss the history of American motherhood and how it has evolved over time. Jessica explores the implications of social media in modern motherhood, and explains how anxiety, jealousy, shame and guilt are the four horsemen of the “Mompocalyse.”

Jessica explains how we got to this moment, why the current state of expectations on mothers is unsustainable, and how we can make meaningful change.
