108. Greatest Hits: Molly Millwood on Motherhood, Marriage, and the Modern Dilemma
12/27/21 • 75 min
We brought back Molly Millwood’s episode this week! Molly was our first author to join the podcast and our first book club author for HERself. Her message is an important one for any stage of motherhood and is one of our most listened to episodes to date.
If you have read her incredible book To Have and To Hold: Motherhood, Marriage, and the Modern Dilemma...you know how powerful her words are. It is both freeing and validating for women in the throes of one of life’s biggest transitions: motherhood.
Special takeaways:
- Resentment for our partners is generally formed around unrealistic expectations
- The goal of being a “good enough” mother
- The inequities between men and women when it comes to parenting are real
- Giving voice around fear, depletion, longing and hunger will win over passive aggressive communication every time
- A man’s ability to accept influence from their partner is directly related to marital stability
- Seeking professional therapy should be normalized and we could all benefit from it
