Ariane Beeston examines the impossible pressures placed on new mothers and how quickly things can go wrong during ‘the happiest time of your life’.
It’s also about life on the other side of serious illness, trying to make sense of what doesn’t make sense, and finding humour, beauty, and joy when things don’t go according to plan.
Ariane will be joined in conversation by Sarah Bari.
