Description

No you're not losing it, your emotions have changed and science says that having a child changes your brain forever. 

In latest episode of parenting podcast This Glorious Mess, Dr Golly breaks down the reason you may cry at the news. Or feel overcome by emotions at the smallest things.

It turns out that your amygdala, your brain’s emotional HQ, opens up a whole new range of emotions designed to help you care for your child. But it also starts to influence how you interact with the world around you... and guess what, its forever!
