#20 Baby Brain: How pregnancy and motherhood shape our brain and change our minds.

April 11, 2024

Join Karen McClay as she talks with Dr Sarah McKay about her new book “Baby Brain: The Surprising Neuroscience of How Pregnancy and Motherhood Sculpt Our Brains and Change Our Minds”.


Karen and Sarah take a fascinating dive into what the research is showing us about the neurological changes that occur within a woman’s brain as they travel through pregnancy and motherhood, while at the same time demything the cultural assumption that ‘baby brain’ is a negative side-effect of this transformative time.
