We are excited to bring you a thought-provoking and inspiring episode of the Momsanity podcast, where we view motherhood through the lens of modern feminism.
This week, we're speaking to Lauren Tetenbaum, a passionate advocate, therapist, and dedicated mother of two. Lauren's personal journey from the law courts to being a therapist has been deeply influenced by the profound experience of motherhood, leading her to focus on supporting women and mothers through unique life transitions. In this episode, Lauren fearlessly addresses the stigmatization attached to the term 'feminism' and shines a light on the impact of it from parental leave, policy changes required to support the advancement of women, and the societal pressures mothers face to do it all.
Lauren provides perspective on how deeply ingrained societal norms and systemic sexism can be transformed through self-reflection, open communication, and collaborative efforts. This episode offers insights sure to resonate with anyone who has ever been frustrated with the challenges and expectations of modern womanhood.
