  • The System is Broken! Why American Motherhood Is So Hard (and How To Fix It) with Reshma Saujani

    The System is Broken! Why American Motherhood Is So Hard (and How To Fix It) with Reshma Saujani
    Aug 10 2026
    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 difficultHow the childcare crisis and lack of paid leave affect every familyThe "momcession" and why mothers are leaving the workforceHow culture wars distract us from real solutionsWhy motherhood is a public policy issue—not an individual failureWhat Moms First is doing to create change, and how you can get involvedThis is such an important discussion!

  • So Long Sweet Summer!

    So Long Sweet Summer!
    Aug 3 2026

    Wait... it's already back-to-school season?! Seriously, when did August become the new September?

    This week, Sarah is soaking up the final days of summer, embracing the chaos (yes, sometimes that means ice cream for dinner), and mentally preparing for the emotional rollercoaster that comes with a new school year.

    She also dives into why mom rage might not be a personal failing after all, the pressures moms face to "just have one more baby," and some things to consider before listening to those "This is your sign to have the 3rd baby!" posts
