Why Women's Grief Gets a Time Limit | Speak, Mother

Speak, Mother | Motherhood Burnout Recovery &... ·

2026/04/07

We'd love to hear what you think! Sadness isn't one of the seven deadly sins, so why does it get its own chapter in On Our Best Behavior? Because the same culture that turned human impulses into moral failures has spent centuries teaching us that grief is an inconvenience. That there's a timeline for falling apart, and you're already past it. This week, we're exploring what it actually costs us to rush through grief — our own and everyone else's. From the losses that come with casseroles to t...

2026/03/31

We'd love to hear what you think! What happens when women get angry? We get called shrews, bitches, hags. We're labeled unstable, dangerous, dramatic. Meanwhile, men's anger gets results, respect, and recognition. This week, we're exploring why women have been taught that anger is unfeminine and dangerous, and what it's costing us. From the physical health consequences of suppressed rage to the way we teach girls to turn their anger underground, this conversation examines why reclaiming our r...

2026/03/17

We'd love to hear what you think! What happens when wanting things feels dangerous? When pleasure feels selfish? When you've been taught to be the object of desire, never the subject with desires of your own? This week, we're diving into Lust, and it's not what you think. This is about the full spectrum of desire: wanting experiences, growth, pleasure, and joy. It's about how women have been conditioned to deny our own needs, disconnect from our bodies, and apologize for taking up space with ...

We'd love to hear what you think! What if the way we talk about each other's bodies is actually making things worse? What if diet culture's grip on women is stronger than we realized? And what if the solution isn't another set of food rules, but joy? This week, I'm joined by registered dietitian Hannah Koschak for a deep dive into the gluttony chapter of On Our Best Behavior. We explore why women struggle with food and body image, how weight stigma shows up in everyday compliments, and what i...

2026/02/24

We'd love to hear what you think! Do you ever undersell yourself because asking for more feels "greedy"? Do you ever apologize when quoting your rates? Do you ever think you should just be grateful for what you have instead of advocating for what you're worth? You're not alone. And it's not about the money. It's about the stories we've been told about what we deserve. This week, we're exploring why women have such a complicated relationship with money, wealth, and asking for what we're ...

Why Women Feel Guilty for Wanting More | Speak, Mother

2026/02/17

We'd love to hear what you think! What happens when a woman is proud of herself? When she celebrates her wins without apologizing? If you've been conditioned to believe that pride is dangerous, that being "too much" will cost you friends, safety, or likability, this episode is for you.

Envy, Desire, & Motherhood | Speak, Mother

Speak, Mother | Motherhood Burnout Recovery &... ·

2026/02/03

We'd love to hear what you think! Envy is one of those things we’re not supposed to talk about, especially as mothers. But what if it’s not something to fix or suppress, but rather to examine? In this episode, Shannon explores envy as a signal rather than a flaw. The moments where other women irritate us, trigger us, or make us uncomfortable often point to desires we’ve learned to ignore, downplay, or explain away. We talk about comparison, judgment, generational conditioning, and the quiet w...

Exhaustion, Rest, and Motherhood | Speak, Mother

Speak, Mother | Motherhood Burnout Recovery &... ·

2026/01/27

We'd love to hear what you think! Before we talk about rest, we have to name why it feels so loaded in the first place. In this episode, Shannon explores the concept of sloth, not as laziness, but as something that became morally charged over time and why so many mothers feel caught between exhaustion and guilt. She reflects on overfunctioning as protection, the pressure to earn rest, and the often unspoken belief that worth is tied to output. This is an invitation to notice the rules we abso...

Patriarchy, Goodness, and Motherhood | Speak, Mother

Speak, Mother | Motherhood Burnout Recovery &... ·

2026/01/20

We'd love to hear what you think! Before we talk about fixing motherhood, we have to name the system we inherited. In this conversation, Shannon explores patriarchy as inheritance rather than ideology, why “being good” became the organizing principle for so many women’s lives, and how motherhood makes these patterns impossible to ignore. This is not a book report or a call to self-improvement. It’s an invitation to notice what we’ve been handed, what it’s cost us, and what might be read...
