17. How The Lack of Maternity Leave Policy in the US is Affecting My Family Planning Choices

Hi Mama,

Wanna hear a joke? Maternity leave in the US. This topic fires me up like no other so today I wanted to express my feelings on the topic and outline how the lack of a federal maternity leave policy in the US has left me scrambling to figure out how to be the mother I want to be and still be "productive" in this society.

It's a huge struggle and I get real and raw with you (of course) about my issues with the current lack of policy.

In this episode I talk about...

1. How the currently "maternity leave" (of lack thereof) is disrespectful to women in the US (I say women because I'm sure there are some woman who are choosing not to become mothers because of this!)

2. My current situation and how the current maternity leave structure is affecting my family planning choices.

3. More about the hustle of motherhood

4. My daily schedule as a SAHM who hustles hard!

I hope that you found this episode interesting. I could honestly go on about this topic forever because there's so much to unpack. I really hope things will change soon for women in the US.
