Motherhood is filled with love, joy, and beautiful moments—but it also holds frustration, guilt, and sometimes even resentment. In this powerful episode, I’m joined by Dr. Margo Lowy, author of Maternal Ambivalence: The Loving Moments & Bitter Truths of Motherhood. Together, we explore the real, complex emotions that many moms experience but rarely talk about.

Dr. Lowy brings light to the concept of maternal ambivalence—the idea that it’s possible to deeply love your child and still feel overwhelmed, uncertain, or even conflicted at times. She shares why these feelings are not only normal but essential to acknowledge for a mom’s emotional well-being.

If you’ve ever wondered, "Is it just me who feels this way?" — this conversation is for you.

In this episode, we cover

• What maternal ambivalence is and why it matters
• How to hold love and struggle at the same time
• Common cultural myths that make moms feel guilty
• How partners and loved ones can support moms through mixed emotions
• Why talking about the hard parts of motherhood helps moms feel less alone
