Mothered: Raising Kids Radically
Episode description
Anita is thinking more and more about entering the club of motherhood. But first, she'd appreciate a reality check on things we don't often talk about — like child care and health concerns around pregnancy and labor.
Meet the guests:
- Angela Garbes, writer and author, talks about the cultural baggage surrounding American motherhood and how she separates the signal from the noise
- Dani McClain, journalist and author, outlines how racial bias shapes the personal and professional experiences of Black mothers
- Katherine Goldstein, journalist and creator of "The Double Shift," talks about rethinking the nuclear family
- Anita’s parents talk about the changes they’ve noticed in their aging bodies and how it’s affected their relationship.
