Motherhood: The Real Story – A Conversation on Joy, Chaos & Transformation

A Mother’s Day Special 

Join us for an insightful and honest conversation featuring three remarkable authors whose books explore the many dimensions of motherhood—its joys, challenges, and deep transformations. 

Mary Catherine Starr, the artist behind the viral Instagram account @momlife_comics, brings her signature humor and relatability to Mama Needs a Minute!, a candid and hilarious illustrated memoir about the invisible labor of motherhood. Nicole Graev Lipson, acclaimed essayist and Best American Essays contributor, delves into the narratives that shape womanhood and motherhood in Mothers and Other Fictional Characters, a searingly intelligent, revealing, and nourishing memoir-in-essays. Carson Meyer, renowned Hollywood doula and wellness advocate, shares her holistic approach to pregnancy and postpartum in Growing Together, a week-by-week guide for expectant parents.

Moderated by bookfluencer and podcast host Zibby Owens, this conversation will be equal parts relatable, revelatory, and reassuring—perfect for moms (and anyone who loves them) navigating the beautiful, complicated journey of parenthood.
