Summary

Minna Dubin is the author of 'MUM RAGE: The Everyday Crisis of Modern Motherhood'. Her work has been featured or reviewed in the New York Times, The New Yorker, The Times Sunday Magazine, inews, Oprah Daily, the Los Angeles Review of Books, Electric Literature, and elsewhere. Minna is currently working on her first novel, and lives in the San Francisco Bay Area with her husband, two kids, and no pets because enough is enough. Minna is on Instagram at  @minnadubin . You contact her and find links to her published writing on her website  minnadubin.com .  Minna Dubin has such an important voice in the Motherhood space and I am pretty honoured to talk with her. Learning of Minna's work validated my feelings so much, which really means the world in all my postnatal/motherhood struggles. In this episode we speak about: a bit about Minna, the work she does and who she is as well as a Mum and Author and Essayist taking time for herself relationship/parenting dynamics being stripped of our power while being told that we have it poetry, burlesque and the arts "making people uncomfortable is great!" and speaking up the 'needless' caveat of "of course I love my child..." that we so often use the isolation of matrescence compared to adolescence what our rage can tell us! a bit about Minna's experience of motherhood how much we Mums really matter and deserve to feel good and more synaptic pruning; what it is and why it helps to know (to defend against dumb and denigrating comments) Themes: motherhood, rage, identity, birth, matrescence We mention Toni Morrison, Amy Taylor-Kabbaz, Dr Sophie Brock, Dr Aurélie Athan, Dr Alexandra Sacks At the end, I read a poem written by Nikita Gill.
