In this unapologetic Feisty Fridays episode, host Rachel calls out the disturbing trend of governments incentivizing motherhood through money, medals, and messaging that ties a woman’s worth to her womb. From historical manipulation to modern-day control, this conversation explores how reproductive value has been used as a political weapon — and why women must reclaim their autonomy now more than ever.

Rachel shares why true motherhood is sacred only when it’s chosen, and how we must center real love, not political gain, in decisions about family and future.

This episode is a powerful reminder that:

• Women are not public property

• Our value is not transactional

• And no government gets to decide the meaning of our lives

Whether you’re a mother, child-free by choice, or still figuring it out — you are more than your ability to reproduce. You're here to live your own damn life.
