Sarah Hoover: 'I Felt Nothing for This Baby' - What People Aren’t Telling You About Motherhood

What if the moment your baby arrives, the only thing you feel is... nothing?

This week, I’m joined by author Sarah Hoover, whose raw and honest book, 'The Motherload,' has become essential reading for anyone who’s struggled with the ups and downs of early motherhood.

We explore what happens when your mental health collapses, but you still look 'fine,' why therapy was such a lifeline, and how Sarah finally started to feel like herself again.

If you enjoyed this episode, please share it with someone who needs to hear Sarah’s honesty. It really makes a difference.
