Alena Dillon, MY BODY IS A BIG FAT TEMPLE: An Ordinary Story of Pregnancy and Early Motherhood

"Everything was alive in the moment, which was an interesting process because I could see how my voice was changed by the experience." Alena Dillon returns to talk about her latest non-fiction book, My Body Is a Big Fat Temple, which chronicles her pregnancy and looks at the parts of motherhood that often get brushed aside. Alena and Zibby also discuss how although the reward of pregnancy is always worth it, it does a disservice to everyone when we ignore the hard conversations and hefty costs it puts on mothers.Purchase on Amazon or Bookshop.Amazon: https://amzn.to/3AQLyADBookshop: https://bit.ly/3lDWixx** Check out the Z.I.P. membership program—Zibby’s Important People!
