56 | "I felt out of control and sad and lonely" - Ashe Davenport on parenthood and writing about it in her new book, Sad Mum Lady

I've never met Ashe in person, but I'm quite convinced she's the funniest woman I know. Because I am sure I know her, in a weird way - the way she writes about mothering, and her kids and her partner and her mother and her life is just so uncomfortably familiar that I'm quite sure we're destined to be best friends, if only she'd realise Sydney is better than Melbourne. Please enjoy this rambling, fan girling (on my part) chat about babies and postpartum and leaky orifices and feeling lonely. Follow Ashe on Instagram @ashedavenport and buy her very funny, painful and delightful book Sad Mum Lady here: https://www.booktopia.com.au/sad-mum-lady-ashe-davenport/book/9781760877637.html
