In this episode we explore the topic of self-doubt and how it shows up for us as moms. We talk about the fears and feelings of not being good enough, where they come from, and how we can have more self-compassion for ourselves and other moms as we navigate societal pressures to always get it right. We’re also excited to welcome our first guest, Clara Pratt! Clara is a mom to two sons, ages 1 and 3, and a member of the Navajo nation. She is the founder and CEO of Strongbow Strategies, a company that manages projects, IT and facilities for federal agencies and tribal clients. Clara lives with her husband and sons just outside the Navajo reservation in Arizona.
In this episode we grapple with the very real feeling that sometimes, all we want for Mother’s Day is time alone and away from our kids, while also recognizing that all that can feel trivial when the government is separating mothers from their children every single day through mass incarceration and inhumane immigration policies. We grapple with the ways society describes motherhood on Mother’s Day with what we want as mothers ourselves, and with the message we want our children to hear from us and others about mothers. We talk about actions we can take and gentle suggestions for how to we can truly honor mothers and other caregivers.
In our first episode, we talk about division of labor, how Coronavirus pandemic and our new stay-at-home reality are impacting work roles and responsibilities within our households, and why this is a feminist issue. We speak from our experience as white straight cisgender women married to white straight cisgender men working in nonessential jobs, which we know will not be relatable to everyone. We’d love to hear your experiences and perspectives. How has Coronavirus affected division of labor in your household? Email us at mommingwhilefeminist@gmail.com.
