We’re told baby brain makes us scattered, forgetful, a little less sharp. But what if it’s actually a sign of growth?
In this episode of How Motherhood Changed Me, journalist and author Chelsea Conaboy shares the science that’s redefining how we understand the maternal brain.
From the neurological shifts of matrescence to the myth of maternal instinct, Chelsea explores how motherhood changes not just what we do - but how we think, feel and connect.
This is a conversation that validates the mental load, challenges the old narratives, and invites us to see the changes in our minds as evidence of adaptation, not decline.
