"I Seem To Disappear A Little More Day After Day"

Thursday, October 8, 2026 • Duration 25:52

She loved being pregnant. Breastfeeding came easily and she still loves it to this day. By every measure she was supposed to be the winner in this story. Eleven months in, she's an immigrant with no village, no daycare until her residency comes through, and a baby who has basically never slept through the night. Erika is joined by journalist and author Gabrielle Moss, whose new book 'Midlife Plot Twist' is out now. Gaby has the best line of the episode: a lot of what gets called regretful parenting is really just people dealing with poor infrastructure. They get into sleep as a mental health issue, sleep as a thing rich women can buy, and why nobody told either of them growing up that not having kids was an option.
