The acute loneliness of mothers

We are launching a series entitled “All the Lonely People”, deeply plunging into the way in which solitude appears in our lives and how our culture shapes it. This week, why are mothers so solid? Brittany hears her listeners and experts: Jessica Grose, New York Times Opinion writer and author of the book Shout inside: the non-durability of American maternityAnd parental burnout researcher at Ohio State University, Kate Gawlik. They discuss what mom’s loneliness has to do with planes, lobotomies and tik tok – and what we can do to help reduce the solitude of the mom.
