About this episode

“The truth is, I don’t like motherhood–and I desperately want to.” In August of 2016, I wrote these words in an email to a woman I’d never met before but had admired from afar, asking for her advice. In this episode, Kelly Jensen cheers every mother on with the reminder to value who we are as individuals–and know that it’s enough.
