À propos de cette écoute

With heart, analysis and experience, Mommy Has Questions examines the evolution of motherhood and challenges expectations to create a world where we all thrive. Your exhaustion isn't personal, it's cultural.

Join Cristina, a career professional turned stay-at-home mom, and the Among Other Things co-founders as they connect your daily overwhelm to decades of policies that depend on mothers doing it all. This is where shame becomes solidarity, where private struggles reveal public patterns, and where women discover they're not broken - the system is.

Mommy Has Questions is presented by Among Other Things, a vibrant moms collective dedicated to driving cultural change for all women.
