Description

When life gets super challenging, we often look towards leaders for guidance -- whether it's a political leader, religious leader, community or group leader, or parent. But what happens when the leader doesn't feel like they can lead? What happens when the leader is struggling just as much as those who are relying on them?Our guest today is a female rabbi who describes to us not only what its like to go through some of life's biggest shifts in a very public way (IVF, pregnancy, loss of a parent) but also how it feels to try to stay  present for all the people who depend on her in their grief, pain, and joy while a pandemic rages on. Plus, find out how The Indigo Girls kind of helped change everything for the better for her.

When society thinks of motherhood, they often think of Pampers and strollers; but we know it’s far more nuanced and complex than that. There’s a vast spectrum of experiences and stories — like what’s it like to discover your partner's darkest secret after just having had a baby together? What does motherhood look like when you suffer from multiple mental illnesses? How does a traumatic event in childhood color how we approach motherhood today? These are the kinds of stories we aim to capture, explore, and dig into in this podcast series. This is a podcast featuring real moms, telling their own stories and being their most vulnerable, uncensored selves. Hosted by the founder of the boundary-pushing motherhood platform Not Safe For Mom Group, and a mother of two Alexis Barad-Cutler.
