The Fabulous and the Falling Apart: Sarah Hoover on Writing The Motherload

from Everything is the Best

I am obsessed with Sarah Hoover and this conversation only made it worse. She is an art world figure, a mother, and the author of The Motherload, a memoir that goes to places most women are terrified to admit out loud. It has full on modern day Sex and the City energy except it is real life, it is messy, and it actually matters. A must read.We talked about the disconnect between what we are promised motherhood will feel like and what it actually felt like for her. The shame of looking fine on the outside. The rage. The recovery. Sarah is honest in a way that is genuinely rare and this conversation had that same energy. We laughed, we got into it, and I left so inpsired.This one is not only for every woman who has ever wondered if something was wrong with her for not feeling what she was supposed to feel, but for any woman. It reads like your favorite TV show but with true soul. Run dont walk.Produced by Dear MediaSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
