#72: Modern Feminism - When Liberation Became Isolation

Moms Off The Record ·

2025/11/07

What started as a movement for dignity has become an ideology of disconnection. In this episode, we trace the evolution of feminism, from its early roots in moral equality to its modern rebranding as sameness, independence, and career-first identity. We explore how the cultural promise of “having it all” has often left women feeling fragmented, overextended, and unfulfilled. From the economic engineering that made two incomes a necessity, to the corporate and political forces that turned libe...

We’re joined by journalist and former climate activist Lucy Biggers of The Free Press (and formerly NowThis) to talk about the surprising intersection of motherhood and politics, and what happens when we’re brave enough to reexamine our deeply held beliefs. Now a mom of two toddlers, Lucy shares how motherhood reshaped her worldview, inviting her to question ideological narratives she once championed. Together, we explore what it means to humbly change your mind in a polarized world and why m...

2025/10/10

In this episode, the two of us reflect on our former six-figure careers in the tech space and how our respective financial trajectories once we became mothers radically changed our lifestyles, world view, and sense of true fulfillment. This episode is part philosophy and part practicality, however please be advised neither of us is a financial consultant, so none of this is to be taken as financial advice. It’s simply anecdotal. We answer some money questions you all submitted in our Instagra...

2025/09/26

Jamie Glowacki, mom, parenting expert, and acclaimed author of "Oh Crap! I Have a Toddler" and "Oh Crap! Potty Training", joins us for an uncensored conversation on what today’s parents are getting wrong (and right) about raising kids. With more than 25 years of experience working directly with families, Jamie dives deep into popular parenting styles, discipline, emotional regulation, and why the trend of “gentle parenting” can sometimes miss the mark. We explore hot-button topics like: Why o...

Moms Off The Record ·

2025/09/05

Feeling inspired after reading Jamie Glowacki’s book “Oh Crap! I Have a Toddler”, the two of us muse on our current top three core values, where these values likely stemmed from, and how, specifically, they shape our parenting decisions. As Jamie so eloquently puts it, nothing a toddler says or does should theoretically trigger an adult to have an unreasonable, extreme reaction. So, if we are having such a reaction, it’s likely due to an unresolved trigger or childhood wound. The values we p...

2025/08/22

Alaina faced obstacle after obstacle during her first pregnancy, which happened to be a di-di, identical twin girl pregnancy, and her initiation into motherhood resulted in the first twin being born vaginally and the second via cesarean. Recovering from a c-section plus physical separation for days from her babies due to a NICU stay didn’t deter Alaina from physiologic mothering and tuning into her high nurture intuition. Alaina walks us through about her mindset, values, and support system w...

Moms Off The Record ·

2025/08/01

The two of us philosophize about the distinctions between education versus learning and why even the most prestigious schools are failing today's children. As moms on the homeschooling track, we reveal how we are reclaiming the lost art of lifelong learning and why we are not subscribing to the school system's broken idea of "education" i.e. memorization, regurgitation and rigid metrics. We relish in the endless opportunities to shape our children's worldview and share which values are ...

2025/07/11

The #BackOffBobbie campaign lives on, because someone has to say what Operation Stork Speed refused to: the real risk in formula isn’t just seed oils or trace heavy metals (the red herrings distracting the #MAHA moms). It’s cronobacter, a rare but deadly bacteria that continues to fly under the radar while mommy influencers parade USDA organic labels and metal-free test results like gold stars. This week, we’re joined by Natasha Vargas-Cooper of Radical Moms Union to expose the uncomfortable ...

Moms Off The Record ·

2025/06/27

Motherhood demands that we see the beauty and the lessons in the micro moments that most people take for granted while mindlessly scrolling on their phones, rushing out the door, or even when they’re physically present but mentally checked out. The magic of motherhood happens in the quotidian, mundane, messy interactions, not in the elaborate, grand gestures. The spiritual calling of motherhood is available to every mother; the question is, is every mother ready to answer its call? When our f...

Is your baby actually a “bad sleeper," or have you just been given bad advice? In this eye-opening conversation, we’re joined by Brittany Chambers, the voice behind Good Night Moon Child, to explore what modern sleep culture gets so wrong. From the myth of self-soothing to the importance of nervous system regulation, we unpack how attunement, not control, is the missing piece in most sleep advice. You’ll hear: - Why sleep starts with the caregiver’s nervous system - How mainstream sleep train...

Remember when we were all about baby-led weaning? While many aspects initially appealed to us, and it was admittedly fun to watch our babies feed themselves 100 new foods prior to age 1, our values and priorities have shifted as we have learned what matters most. Kate Pope, mom of two, nutritionist, certified GAPS practitioner, and founder of the Regenerative Cooking School, explains why and how the GAPS diet is crucial for healing and sealing everyone's gut— from baby's to mom's and be...

In this episode, we call out the problems that have arisen as a result of adoption of and adherence to the Freebirth Society ideology while also holding space for a woman’s legal and moral right to choose to have a Freebirth. Ultimately, this is about the need for leaders to act in integrity and for everyone to remember that rarely two truths exist in extremes. All choices are valid, however in order for them to be authentically empowered, they must be made with true informed consent and a...

We kick off our two-part Circumcision series— a topic you all have been begging us to cover for the last two years!— with none other than the Executive Director and Chairperson of Intact America, Georganne Chapin MPhil, JD. There is nothing we shy away from in this episode. Don't worry, we don't walk on any egg shells. While debunking common circumcision myths, like how this surgery helps to prevent UTIs, STDs, and HIV, is fun and intriguing, Georganne reminds us that it's important to shift...

What can we Westerners learn about raising intrinsically happy, self-sufficient, and helpful children from the Maya of Mexico, the Inuit of the Arctic Circle and the Hadza of Tanzania? Well, it turns out, a lot! WEIRD cultures (Western, educated, industrialized, rich, and democratic) have been making parenting unnecessarily more difficult than it was designed to be. From helicopter and free-range parenting, to distracting children instead of intentionally involving them in quotidian household...

We analyze when it is possible and even encouraged to maintain friendships with people who have opposing viewpoints versus when this feat proves to be a fruitless effort. We share personal anecdotes which illustrate when our differences with others have brought us closer toge...

Pamela “came out” as “the truthful therapist” a few years ago on the basis of her simply speaking the truth. Not HER truth, but rather the truth. This of course offended many (unsurprisingly); however, through her commitment to bust myths propagated by the transhumanist agenda which preys upon our vulnerable and impressionable youth, she has successfully forged her own path as a trailblazer for other therapists who are not woke and equally committed to helping children accept the body they we...
