SEASON 2 PREMIERE! Today we are talking with award-winning author Angela Garbes, of LIKE A MOTHER: A Feminist Journey Through the Science and Culture of Pregnancy, and the just-released ESSENTIAL LABOR: Mothering as Social Change. Her latest book reads like a manifesto for the kind of world we aspire to have for mothers and women and all caregivers, and it asks the question, what if we built a system that lets us care for the people that actually care for us? How do we, in a society that is so detached from our bodies create a world where we value bodies, the human experience, and our right to pleasure? We talk with Angela about:
how to establish a strong foundational understanding for our children that their bodies are worthy of love, and good care
the responsibility parents hold for teaching our kids to respect all kinds of bodies, and that all bodies are different
how to navigate talking about difficult topics (like bodies, sex, scary news) with our children
the benefits of intergenerational living, and caring for elders
reframing sex and pleasure for ourselves and our kids
how to reconnect sexually with a partner during/after periods of low libido
