What Fresh Hell: Laughing in the Face of Motherhood | Parenting Tips From Funny Moms

Fresh Take: Raena Boston on Mom Scams


Listen Later

What "scams" about motherhood have we become subject to without really questioning them? What would happen if we stopped subscribing to these ideas?

Raena Boston, founder of the Working Momtras, discusses ways to counteract the sexism inherent in parenting, particularly mothering, and how to make the personal political. Raena is a mom of three, co-founder of the nonprofit Chamber of Mothers, and a fierce advocate for working families.

In this interview, Raena and Margaret discuss:

  • Mom guilt as a scam and how we can dismantle it
  • Why dads need parental leave too
  • What federal paid family leave really means

  • Here's where you can find Raena:
