The Maternal Instinct Is DYING - Here's How 3 Generations Killed It ft. Erica Komisar
About this episode
The episode features an interview with Erica Komisar discussing the decline of maternal instincts and the impact of cultural shifts on motherhood.
We've mentioned Erica Komisar multiple times on this podcast, so it's a great pleasure to be able to interview her on today's episode. Erica is a mother, clinical social worker, psychoanalyst, parent coach, and author. She is particularly known for her defense of motherhood and a woman's instinct to mother against our very anti-family culture. This conversation gave a lot of scientific background to a lot of what we talk about here at Family Teams, as well as extremely helpful practical wisdom for parents today.
