In this week's episode, I had the opportunity to chat with Mary Catherine Starr, the artist behind the beloved Instagram account, @momlife_comics. You likely have seen her viral motherhood comics from the account, which has completely exploded over the last few yearsWith both wit and warmth, she regularly explores motherhood, marriage, double standards and the invisible load in her work, making moms laugh, feel validated or fired up depending on the day. Her work has also drawn some critics (hint: they're angry dudes who seem to believe that sharing how common double standards show up in her own marriage must mean she is a terrible person who hates her husband. Sigh.) and we get into those experiences, too.  Her work has been featured in Motherly, the Huffington Post, and next year she's releasing her first book: a comic memoir, Mama Needs a Minute! where she shares her own journey in modern motherhood and the relatable challenges we all face.We discussed how she built her brand, double standards, the danger of mom guilt and the time her comic about a peach went viral leading to threats and personal attacks --  but ultimately a movement for moms to prioritize themselves more.
