The First Three Years: Reclaiming Motherhood with Erica Komisar


Listen Later

Modern motherhood tells women they can—and should—do it all. But what if the most important thing we can give our children in the first three years is simply being there? In this episode, I sit down with Erica Komisar, a psychoanalyst and author, to discuss the critical early years of a child’s life and why a mother’s presence during this time shapes emotional resilience, security, and future well-being.

We dive into:

🔹 Why the first three years are essential for bonding and brain development
🔹 The emotional and psychological effects of daycare on young children
🔹 How modern culture has deprioritized motherhood—and the consequences
🔹 Breastfeeding, attachment, and the science behind maternal presence
🔹 Why we must rethink the "moms can have it all" narrative
🔹 How to reclaim the sacred role of motherhood in today’s fast-paced world

Whether you're a new mom, expecting, or rethinking your approach to parenting, this episode will challenge the modern mindset and offer encouragement for embracing a more intentional, traditional approach to motherhood.
