<p>Trying something new here! I interviewed three women authors on the same day whose novels took me through the full spectrum of motherhood — so I wanted you all to have the same experience. We start with Angela Brown’s&nbsp;<a href="https://go.shopmy.us/p-45366223" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><em>Ways to Find Yourself</em></a>&nbsp;in which Grace Whittaker meets younger versions of herself as she mourns her mother’s loss while attempting to get pregnant. We then move on to British “it girl” Saba Sams’s&nbsp;<a href="https://go.shopmy.us/p-45366663" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><em>Gunk</em></a> which really throws you into the birth and baby experience. And then we fast forward to empty nesting in Lindsey Goldstein’s&nbsp;<a href="https://go.shopmy.us/p-45366768" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><em>Gap Year</em></a>&nbsp;in which a middle-aged mom takes off on an adventure after being left by her husband. Would love your input on this new episode format.
