Episode 6: Huma Qureshi on the pregnancy that diverted her writing dreams
Author Huma Qureshi talks to Katherine May about a wintering period during her third pregnancy
When Huma got pregnant for the third time, she expected to flourish: after all, she already had a successful journalism career and was working on her first novel. But extreme sickness floored her, and took her into a dark mental space in which she felt that she might never recover.
In her wise and wonderful interview, Huma explains how we can emerge from the deeply miserable moments in our life with a new - more self-compassionate - plan.
You can find Huma on:
Her book How We Met is published in January 2021. Her work features in The Best, Most Awful Job, an anthology of honest writing about motherhood.
