  • "Cry When the Baby Cries" and Other Celebrations of Unhinged Mothering
    2025/05/21
    In this deeply honest conversation, Dr. Jennifer Reid speaks with cartoonist and author, Becky Barnicoat, about her graphic memoir, Cry When the Baby Cries, inspired by a massively popular cartoon she created for The New Yorker. Together they explore the messy, beautiful, and often isolating experience of modern motherhood—from IVF struggles and miscarriage to postpartum transformations and the bittersweet joy of watching children grow and change.On Drawing Her Graphic Memoir"The drawings that I did sort of started to kind of suggest a kind of wild, maybe slightly unhinged mother home alone with her baby... maybe refusing to conform to social expectations, maybe not being able to conform, you know, because of tiredness, because of mental distress and isolation."IVF and Fertility Struggles"I struggled to confide in anyone for a long time. The only person that knew was my husband and I felt so alone... I think I started to become really quite depressed and the way that that manifested for me was that the world started to feel unsafe and quite hostile."The Shock of New Parenthood"It's just one of the most kind of beautiful but painful experiences available."Postpartum Bodies and Society's Expectations"Kids and like bodies that have given birth are not very welcome in society. And I think that's a real shame and it's to all of our detriment."Becky Barnicoat is a cartoonist and writer for The New Yorker, The Guardian, The New Statesman, Grazia, BuzzFeed and more. Before becoming a full-time cartoonist, she spent 10 years working as an editor and writer at The Guardian. She is the author of the graphic memoir Cry When the Baby Cries, a darkly funny account of her first years as a parent. She lives in the UK.Warning: episode mentions sexual assault and graphic images of childbirthThanks for reading A Mind of Her Own and listening to The Reflective Mind Podcast!

  • "It's Wonderful AND It's Hard." Embracing the Beautiful Complexity of Motherhood
    2025/04/16
    "Mothering is a messy, interrupted experience." "It's not an 'or' situation…it's despairing AND it's light."In this introspective conversation, Dr. Jennifer Reid speaks with psychotherapist Dr. Margo Lowy about her book Maternal Ambivalence: The Loving Moments and Bitter Truths of Motherhood. Dr. Lowy shares insights from her research and personal experience on maternal ambivalence, which she describes as "the mother's ability to hold together all her feelings and not disregard the difficult ones."Key Points:* Personal Journey* Dr. Lowy shares her experience with three children born across a span of 17 years.* She describes becoming less rigid and more able to "flow" with motherhood over time.* Her experience with secondary infertility highlights additional complexities in maternal emotions.* "What I want to normalize is for mums to let them know that they're not alone. We all have these feelings."* The Danger of Idealized Motherhood* Society expects mothers to be "fully selfless, fully caring, and really virtually on tap for our children."* This impossible standard undermines mothers' humanity and authenticity.* Children have an "antenna" for when parents are being genuine versus hiding feelings.* Motherhood as a Series of Losses* Each milestone brings both happiness and grief as children grow.* "Actually, mothering is a series of losses. It's an experience of expansion and contraction."* A mother's job is paradoxically "to be able to be left" by her child.* Creating Support Systems* Dr. Lowy advocates for creating spaces where mothers can share feelings without judgment.* The importance of surrounding yourself with people "that give you energy and that were kind of on my side and weren't judgy."* Social support is crucial during challenging periods like infertility.Dr. Reid on Instagram: @jenreidmd and LinkedInAlso check out Dr. Reid's regular contributions to Psychology Today: Think Like a Shrink.Thank you for listening to The Reflective Mind Podcast!
