Together, Estelle and Zoe explore the unraveling that happens when we become mothers, and why old coping mechanisms no longer work once a baby arrives. They discuss the power of kindness (to ourselves and others), the importance of community, and how to move beyond guilt, exhaustion, and punishing comparison into a new way of being.
