Episode Notes

River shares how hard it was to walk away from a financially secure situation (being a stay-at-home mom), and Annie shares how hard it was to go back to work with leaky boobs.  What does it mean to be a mom in today's world?  

Today we discuss how:

Why do women have to work when they are on their menstrual cycle?   We talk and laugh about the ridiculous ways women have to conform to a man's world and how it feels so unnatural.  We don't have any answers, but we have a lot of questions.  Are there women walking through the streets of Manhattan (happy & content) with leaky boobs?   Or, are they like Annie, feeling the darkest part of their soul when they have to work with a baby at home?  

Annie recommends Obama's Netflix show Working: What We Do All Day to gain insight on how pay range (and salaries) were determined by men-in-power in the early 1900s, and how that has affected most women and the jobs they choose naturally.

This show is add-free, and we hope to keep it that way!
