In this week's episode, I had the opportunity to chat with Mary Catherine Starr, the artist behind the beloved Instagram account, @momlife_comics . You likely have seen her viral motherhood comics from the account, which has completely exploded over the last few years With both wit and warmth, she regularly explores motherhood, marriage, double standards and the invisible load in her work, making moms laugh, feel validated or fired up depending on the day. Her work has also drawn some critics (hint: they're angry dudes who seem to believe that sharing how common double standards show up in her own marriage must mean she is a terrible person who hates her husband. Sigh.) and we get into those experiences, too. Her work has been featured in Motherly, the Huffington Post , and next year she's releasing her first book: a comic memoir, Mama Needs a Minute! where she shares her own journey in modern motherhood and the relatable challenges we all face. We discussed how she built her brand, double standards, the danger of mom guilt and the time her comic about a peach went viral leading to threats and personal attacks -- but ultimately a movement for moms to prioritize themselves more. I know you'll love our conversation! Learn more about Mary Catherine Starr and her work here. Want more content for the woman inside the mother?

Enter writer Minna Dubin and therapist Sarah Harmon. Through different mediums, both examined and provided solutions for mom rage at a time when many women were struggling with an often misunderstood and highly judged emotion. Minna first wrote about mom rage in a 2019 personal essay and then a reported article during the pandemic. She went on to publish a full book on the issue: Mom Rage, an examination of the hidden crisis of rage with real stories from mothers and solutions how to address it. Sarah, a therapist and founder of School of Mom , led the primal mom screams in the Boston area that went viral, garnering national media coverage and bringing awareness to the immense stress loads mothers were carrying during the pandemic. We chatted with Minna and Sarah not only about what mom rage is and how to cope, but what lurks underneath. From grieving a past identity to lack of societal support, mom rage is layered and complex.
