Have you ever had a stressful day, filled with seemingly never ending tasks, and found yourself recoiling at the advances of your partner? If yes, you may be, as author Amanda Montei coins it, touched out.
Amanda joins Dr. Kate in the studio this week to discuss this concept of being “touched out”, and the ways that it can permeate into our intimate and familial relationships.
Together, the two explore: • The surprises one may encounter when entering motherhood • Being in recovery while becoming a mother • Weaponized choice in parenthood • The division of labor in households And so much more.
Amanda is the author, most recently, of Touched Out: Motherhood, Misogyny, Consent & Control. She is a contributing writer for New York Times Magazine, and her work has also appeared at The Cut, New York Times, Elle, Time, Slate, and many others. She writes the newsletter Mad Woman.
