Lessons From Our Mothers

Sarah Hoover: “ I was allergic to being a mother. It was the worst thing that could have happened to me, and I felt monstrous for thinking that way”

🌸Cressida and Isabella are joined by bestselling author, Sarah Hoover who opens up about her path to motherhood, marked by birth trauma and the often-overlooked realities of postpartum depression. Sarah reflects on the complex lessons she inherited from her own mother - some she carries forward, others she’s chosen to leave behind. Plus we hear how her memoir, The Motherload: Episodes from the Brink of Motherhood, became both a creative outlet and a lifeline as it explores what it means to become a mother in the modern world.

🌸Join Cressida Bonas and Isabella Branson as they continue to explore how maternal figures have shaped the lives of their guests. Each episode delves into the valuable lessons they’ve carried forward, those they’ve left behind, and the profound impact their maternal figures have had throughout their lives. 

❌ Trigger warning: This episode contains a discussion of birth trauma, postpartum depression and suicidal thoughts.

💬 Plus, hear from listener Karma, who shares some of the most valuable lessons he’s taken from his mum!
