Why maternal instinct is a myth with Chelsea Conaboy

Today’s guest is health and science journalist and mother of two, Chelsea Conaboy. She was part of the Boston Globe’s Pulitzer prize–winning team for coverage of the Boston Marathon bombing and more recently has worked as a magazine writer with bylines at Mother Jones, Politico, The Week, the Boston Globe Magazine, and others. Chelsea has done 1000s of hours of research into the science of what happens to your brain when you become a parent. What she finds is quite incredible, and it is all in her new book, Mother brain, how neuroscience is rewriting the story of motherhood. We all instinctively know how changed we are by motherhood, right? But, have you ever wondered what is actually happening in your brain when you become a mother?
