286. Why motherhood is unsustainable, featuring Jessica Grose

The topic of navigating motherhood is clearly near and dear to me, and this week we continue the conversation about the systems (and lack thereof) that contribute to today’s parenting struggles.

Jessica Grose, author and writer for The New York Times, shares how motherhood has become unsustainable. Yes, there has been significant change in the last 60 years, but we still have a long way to go for mothers to feel seen and heard, and to have better support systems in place for parents to function, much less thrive.
