What makes someone a mother? On this week's episode of the podcast we interview Erin S. Lane about the influence American Christianity has on women who don't have, want, or center children of their own. Erin shares her personal journey, the origin of Mother's Day, her definition of Off-Script Mothering and much more.
\nIn addition to her upcoming book on the topic of Off-Script Mothering, Erin is also the author of Lessons in Belonging from a Church-Going Commitment Phobe and co-editor of Talking Taboo: American Christian Women Get Frank About Faith. Raised Catholic, former Evangelical, trained Quaker, and married to a Methodist, Erin lives in Raleigh, North Carolina with her improbable kin.
