In this episode we get into a bit of the religious messaging that Andrea Yates was receiving like the pamphlet she received with a rhyme titled “Modern Mother Worldly.” I chat with my good friend and host of the parenting podcast “One Bad Mother,” Biz Ellis. We talk about her experience as a mother, women’s health (being ignored), and sing inappropriate camp songs!
Pod takes twists and turns. Be prepared for emotional rollercoaster action!
CW: We will discuss postpartum psychosis, depression, domestic abuse, suicide, infanticide, and religious zealotry.
I aim to include anyone who has identified as a woman, female, or femme at any point in their journey.
