Molly Millwood joins the podcast today as our first author in our first ever book club. If you have read her incredible book To Have and To Hold: Motherhood, Marriage, and the Modern Dilemma...you know how powerful her message is. We both consider this a must read book for every new mama as we found it to be a life changing book. It is both freeing and validating for women in the throes of one of life’s biggest transitions: motherhood. Special takeaways:  Resentment for our partners are generally formed around unrealistic expectations  The goal of being a “good enough” mother The inequities between men and women when it comes to parenting are real Giving voice around fear, depletion, longing and hunger will win over passive aggressive communication every time A man’s ability to accept influence from their partner is directly related to marital stability Seeking professional therapy should be normalized and we could all benefit from it Resources: Molly’s book: To Have and to Hold Molly’s Website: www.MollyMillwood.com Let’s connect!
