Fresh Take: Sona Movsesian on Being the "World's Worst Mom"

How does becoming a mother give us perspective on our own mothers' experiences? Comedian Sona Movsesian, author of the new book THE WORLD'S WORST MOM, joins us to talk mom guilt, parenting twin boys, and why finding more fun in motherhood is so revelatory.

What if being a comedian is kind of great for most things, but not so much for parenthood? We talk with Sona Movsesian, co-host of Conan O'Brien Needs a Friend and author of the new book THE WORLD'S WORST MOM, about mom guilt, the mental load, and what becoming a mother taught her about her relationship with her own mom.

We discuss:

  • the special fresh hell of twin boys
  • how you see your mom differently as soon as you become one
