Read it the way it ran in print.
Her signature interview runs in the July 2026 issue, pages 28–34. Below is the actual spread, page for page, exactly as it appears in print.
You've said you started sharing more publicly because you were looking for a conversation that held all of it. What was happening in your own life at the time?
What nobody puts in the books is what it feels like to step into this role and start losing yourself inside it at the same time. I'd look in the mirror and realize I wasn't the same woman I was before the baby, and that identity shift wasn't named anywhere. The moment I said it out loud, every other mom said the same thing. That's when it hit me: this conversation has to happen.
You write powerfully about quiet burnout, the version where everything still gets done but something inside you is slowly disappearing. Was there a point you realized you were experiencing it yourself?
I was in quiet burnout, and I didn't have a name for it yet. From the outside, everything looked right. But I was watching myself do it from the outside looking in, and none of it was bringing me joy. So I pivoted. I started talking about it, out loud. That's what got me out of it. Naming it. Acknowledging it.
