#2 Knowns and Unknowns

My Motherhood with Beck Stanton

Apr 11 2023 • 38 mins

Welcome to the My Motherhood Podcast with Beck Stanton, where we talk about what happens when a woman becomes a mother.

This week we think about the things we know, don’t know, know we don’t know and don’t know we don’t know. When we have a strong response to something or experience a shock it can be helpful to reflect on which type of known or unknown it is. It helps to make sense of our responses and our instincts.
