Parenthood, Regrets, and Authenticity: Jen and Em on UnF*ck Your Brain

Some feelings are so taboo we barely admit them to ourselves, and ambivalence about parenthood tops the list. Jen and Em joined Kara Loewentheil on episode 317 of UnF*ck Your Brain for an unusually honest conversation about parenthood, regret, and what it costs to perform a feeling you don't have. Their take: naming a complicated feeling doesn't make you a bad parent or a bad person, it makes you an honest one, and honesty is where change starts. Listen to episode 317, and if there's a feeling you've been carrying that doesn't feel sayable out loud, our therapists have heard it before, we promise.
