What Fresh Hell: Laughing in the Face of Motherhood | Parenting Tips From Funny Moms

Fresh Take: Erin Pepler

38 min • 21 juli 2023

Why are women expected to love pregnancy and new motherhood without exception or complaint? Erin Pepler, author of the collection of essays "Send Me Into the Woods Alone," discusses the stigma that still persists around mothers expressing difficulty and displeasure with their lives—and how reading and writing about motherhood has improved her own life.

Erin Pepler is a freelance writer whose work has appeared in Today’s Parent, ParentsCanada, SavvyMom, Romper, Scary Mommy, MoneySense, Broadview Magazine and more.

Erin and Amy discuss:

  • Why pregnancy is "objectively weird"
  • Why women are expected to downplay their pain and suffering particularly as new mothers
  • How anxiety can shape us as parents... and when it's time to take a closer look
