“We’re All In This Together”? (Part 1)

Every mother has been touched by the pandemic and every mother has a story that deserves to be heard...including our own host, Katherine Goldstein. In this two-part series, Katherine shares her story of caring for newborn twins and a four-year-old as the coronavirus shut the world down around her. Through intimate, in-the-moment audio diaries, she strips away the tropes around self-sacrificing pandemic motherhood and lays bare the frustration, fear, uncertainty, and anger (so much anger) over how mothers, children, and caregivers have been abandoned in this crucial moment -- and have actually always been left to fend for themselves. A year and half later, we all know where this story is headed....but we don’t yet know how it ends.  ---- If you love the Double Shift Podcast, sign up for our newsletter, thedoubleshift.com/newsletter.  Consider joining The Double Shift member community, which is a social change laboratory for moms.
