Maternal Ambivalence: Embracing the Full Spectrum of Motherhood with Dr. Margo Lowy

In this powerful episode of The Mostly Under Control Podcast, Melanie O’Reilly-Rogers welcomes Dr. Margo Lowy, social worker, psychotherapist, and author of Maternal Ambivalence: Loving Moments and Bitter Truths. Together, they dive deep into the often-untouched territory of maternal ambivalence—the complex reality that motherhood is filled with both light and dark emotions. 

Dr. Lowy explains why embracing these feelings without judgment is crucial for a richer, more authentic experience of motherhood. We discuss the myths of instant love, the pressures of social media, and the importance of creating a support system that fuels your confidence instead of draining it. Whether you're a new mom, a seasoned parent, or somewhere in between, this conversation is the permission slip you didn’t know you needed.
