Motherhood  SessionsNot Cut Out For Motherhood

The mom interviewed in this episode speaks frankly about feelings that some moms have, but are often shamed for when saying them out loud. There are few spaces provided for enabling moms to share these feelings.

No One is Coming to Save UsGood Childcare *Can* WorkA lot of talk goes into supporting the mom in the prenatal phase, but little after the birth of the baby. Lack of care is a significant barrier to participating in the labor force, as women are faced with the choice of returning to work or staying home to care for children. Sometimes no care options are available or are too pricey.

Death, Sex, & MoneyDoree Shafrir on the Out of Control IVF TrainThere's not enough conversation about infertility and the rising cost of IVF. Moreover, there is shame and stigma around not being able to afford or access such options.

Snap JudgmentThe Birth Dream

This episode follows a Korean adoptee as he meets his birth mother for the first time. It felt so personal, and was also a beautiful testament to love.

Ladies, We Need to TalkMum won't come to our wedding

I chose this episode because parents are not perfect people. And sometimes, they make decisions that their own children won't like or understand.
