Screaming on the Inside with Jessica Grose

Dr. Dan and Jessica Grose (opinion writer at The New York Times, author, founding editor of Lena Dunham’s Lenny Letter) discuss and examine the unrealistic expectations we place on mothers and her new book Screaming on the Inside: The Unsustainability of American Motherhood. Dr. Dan and Jessica (mother of two daughters) discuss her parenting experiences, mom burnout, self-care, motherhood myths, double-standards, and more.
