A Mother’s Tripped-Out Trip to Guilt, Self-Doubt, Ego Death… and Back (Negin Farsad)

Comedian and mother, Negin Farsad, got a strange assignment - one that sent her on an unexpected trip– a trippy trip– a hero’s quest– into the depths of her unconscious mind... where it turned out, all the monsters of motherhood were there waiting for her.Four years out from giving birth, Negin hadn’t thought she was avoiding a whole lot. In fact as a comedian, she considered it her job to reveal the hardest things about her life on stage every night–to turn them into jokes. She had even turned her harrowing birth into laughs. But little did she know how much was still lurking in the dark unknown. How much there was to discover. How much there was to heal.She told us all about it. This conversation is really special, because Tash and Julia got to talk to Negin together!Check out Negin's comedy. Neginfarsad.com; @neginfarsad She's hilarious!And the article that she wrote for Afar magazine about this trip.Mother is a Question is created by Natasha Haverty and Julia Metzger-Traber.
