Summary

Stassi sits down with Sarah Hoover to discuss her memoir, The Motherload which is Stassi’s absolute favourite. Sarah opens up about her experiences with postpartum depression, childbirth trauma, and those first few years of motherhood when she felt completely disconnected from her baby. It’s a raw, relatable conversation that will make every mom feel seen and less alone. They dive into the messy, beautiful truths of motherhood, the identity shifts, the boring baby classes, and the magical moments that make it all worth it. Plus, they swap spooky ghost stories (because why not?) and how they’ve found their groove as mom’s. This episode is like a cozy chat with your besties—honest, empowering, and a reminder that you’re not alone in the wild ride of motherhood.
