Ashley Audrain, New York Times bestselling author of psychological drama, joins Linda and Drew At Home to talk about her first novel, The Push. The book is about a woman whose experience of motherhood is nothing at all what she had hoped for and, instead, everything she feared. Ashley talks about how she made a career change when her motherhood journey began and how, through her book’s characters, she challenged the “perfect” picture of being a mom which taught her to be more empathetic towards mothers whose experiences fall outside of the “norm”. The Push book dives into topics of societal expectations on women, generational trauma and how love and fear are deeply intertwined. Connect with Ashley: www.instagram.com/ashleyaudrain www.twitter.com/audrain www.facebook.com/AshleyAudrainAuthorResources: Listen/ Read the bestselling novel, The Pushhttps://ashleyaudrain.com/the-push/ReflectWe can all ask reflect on the language we use that might perpetuate narratives and add pressure on women to fulfill certain stereotypes. BeginHere is a great guide for small actions that can make a big impact in gender equality! https://www.unwomen.org/en/news/stories/2020/2/compilation-small-actions-big-impact-for-generation-equalityText 310-496-8667 with your questions for #AtHomePodcast !If you’ve enjoyed this podcast, please subscribe, rate and share with a friend! Thank you for being a part of the At Home community! Connect with Linda & Drew: instagram.com/athomeinstagram.com/imlindorkinstagram.com/mrdrewscott#AtHomePodcastTheme Song by: Victoria Shawwww.instagram.com/VictoriaShawMusic Chad Carlsonwww.instagram.com/ChadCarlsonMusic Music composed and produced by: Rick Russohttps://www.instagram.com/rickrussomusicSeries Photographer: Dennys Ilicwww.instagram.com/dennydenn Special thanks to all our At Home homies: Brandon Angeleno, Annalee Belle, Hanna Phan, Cortney Ewonus, Wes Friend, Chris Cobain, Nicole Schachter!Sponsored by:ADT: It’s important to have not just a beautiful home -- but a smart and safer home.https://www.adt.com/AtHomeSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
