A new book explores the science of the elusive maternal instinct, and the ways having children transforms the brain.
Fascinating stuff here -- what a great interview!
The whole “old moms are better than young moms” thing seemed thin at best. Why does someone always needa be “better”?

A young mom
Thank you, this is a good point. There’s so much (too much!) comparison and competition among mothers already. Plus, if there are differences by age, they are averages — there is undoubtedly a LOT of individual variation.
Really great to meet you on the Shoutout! And great content too.
