This week, Sarah sits down with Reshma Saujani—New York Times bestselling author, founder of Girls Who Code, and the founder of Moms First! Inspired by Reshma's new documentary No Country for Mothers, this episode explores why motherhood in America can feel uniquely difficult. From the crushing cost of childcare and the lack of paid family leave to the impossible expectations placed on modern moms, Reshma makes the case that the challenges so many mothers blame themselves for are actually the result of a broken system—not personal failure.
In this episode, we cover:
Why motherhood in America feels so uniquely difficult
How the childcare crisis and lack of paid leave affect every family
The "momcession" and why mothers are leaving the workforce
How culture wars distract us from real solutions
Why motherhood is a public policy issue—not an individual failure
What Moms First is doing to create change, and how you can get involved
