    S2E7: When Did You Realize It’s A Man’s World?
    Dec 18 2025

    🎙️ Season 2, Episode 7: When Did You Realize It’s A Man’s World?

    The wake-up calls that changed everything we thought we knew

    💬 Episode Overview

    In this deeply personal and powerful conversation, the moms trace the moments — big and small — when the illusion cracked and they realized the world wasn’t built for women to succeed. From pregnancy discrimination at work to classrooms without female role models, from internalized misogyny to the quiet ways patriarchy teaches women to shrink, this episode is about awakening. Cristina, Tiffany, and Jamie reflect on how sexism shows up across childhood, education, careers, relationships, and culture — and how once you see it, you can’t unsee it. More importantly, they explore what comes next: unlearning, calling it out, raising the next generation differently, and continuing the conversation as an act of resistance.

    🗣️ What We Talk About

    - The moment pregnancy exposes workplace sexism

    - How “vibe shifts” and gossip punish working mothers

    - Paid parental leave — who gets it and who doesn’t

    - Internalized misogyny and being a “guy’s girl”

    - Growing up believing equality was already solved

    - Education systems that erase women’s contributions

    - Sports, uniforms, and the unequal playing field

    - Literature, art, and the absence of women in history

    - Why patriarchy only benefits those at the very top

    - How awareness leads to action — not shame

    S2E6: How Do Moms Reclaim Power In The Workplace?
    Dec 11 2025
    🎙️ Season 2, Episode 6: How Do Moms Reclaim Power In The Workplace?Why the Workplace Still Isn’t Built for Moms - and How We Change It.In this eye-opening conversation, the moms sit down with Daphne Delvaux, Esq. — nationally known trial attorney, women’s rights advocate, and founder of The Mamattorney — to unpack one of the most urgent but overlooked questions in modern motherhood: Why is the workplace still failing moms?Drawing from Daphne’s groundbreaking legal work, her book Moms In Labor, and her transformative online program Motherland, this episode dives deep into the structural, cultural, and legal barriers facing working mothers today. Together, we explore the realities of pregnancy discrimination, the myth of “work-life balance,” what MFLA actually covers, and the emotional toll of navigating a system never designed for women — especially mothers. More importantly, Daphne offers real tools: legal protections every mom should know, mindset shifts to reclaim power, and a vision for a new era of motherhood where parents can work, thrive, and lead with dignity.🎤 Meet Our Guest:Daphne Delvaux, Esq. is an employment lawyer and trial attorney. She is the Founder of Delvaux Law, the nation’s first and only law firm devoted to mothers’ rights at work. She has been graced with the prestigious Outstanding Trial Lawyer award, elected by her peers.Daphne is also the creator of the Mamattorney, a platform on a mission to educate mothers on their rights at work and teach them how to advocate for their needs, including extended maternity leaves, financial benefits, telework, flexibility, more breaks, pumping protections, and more, all without sacrificing their career goals.As the only employment lawyer in the motherhood space, Daphne is routinely seen as THE expert on maternal rights. She encourages mothers to celebrate their motherhood as the superpower it is, instead of hiding it in the margins, and to proudly and professionally seek the accommodations they need instead of suppressing their or their babies’ needs. She teaches mothers how to strategically center mothers at work to the benefit of everyone, including the employers (it can be done!).You can find Daphne at:📱 Instagram: @theMamattorney 🌐 Website: https://www.theMamattorney.com 📚 Moms In Labor (Book):https://www.momsinlabor.com 🌍 Motherland Program:https://www.theMamattorney.com/motherland🗣️ What We Talk About:Why U.S. work culture treats motherhood as a liability instead of a strengthHow pregnancy discrimination actually shows up — including subtle and “legal-ish” formsWhat the MFLA covers (and what it definitely doesn’t)Why so many women feel blindsided when they try to “prepare” for motherhoodThe emotional and psychological cost of becoming a mom in a patriarchal workplaceWhy pregnant employees carry both physical AND emotional labor at workThe roots of the “good employee” vs. “good mother” identity crisisPostpartum realities and why the system sets women up to feel like they’re failingHow Daphne’s book Moms in Labor reframes motherhood as a political identityWhy her online program Motherland is giving women a new way forwardThe mindset shifts every mother needs to reclaim her power at workHow mothers can collectively change workplace culture and advocate for themselves📚 Resources:MFLA (Maternal and Family Leave laws)https://www.dol.gov/general/topic/benefits-leave/fmlaMoms In Labor by Daphne Delvaux, Esq.Reframing motherhood as a feminist, legal, and cultural identityhttps://www.momsinlabor.comMotherland — Daphne’s Online Programhttps://www.theMamattorney.com/motherlandThe Mamattorney (Daphne’s Legal Resource Platform)https://www.theMamattorney.comSponsored By:Poppy— the voice-note memory app for modern moms.

  • S2E5: Does Talking About Menopause Lead to Gender Equity?

    S2E5: Does Talking About Menopause Lead to Gender Equity?
    Dec 4 2025
    🎙️ Season 2, Episode 4: How Does Talking About Menopause Lead to Gender Equity?A Conversation About Menopause with Lauren A. Tetenbaum, LMSW, JDIn this episode, we sit down with Lauren to confront one of the biggest taboos in women’s health: menopause — a natural life phase that has been misunderstood, stigmatized, under-researched, and under-treated for generations. Together, we explore why millennials are pushing a cultural shift toward more open, honest conversations, and how misogyny and ageism have fueled decades of silence around this transition. We dig into the emotional, physical, and social realities of perimenopause and menopause, why destigmatizing this experience is essential for gender equity, and how women can advocate for better care, access, and insurance support. Lauren reframes menopause as a long-term health transition — not a single moment — and makes the case for recognizing it as a feminist issue central to improving women’s health across the entire lifespan.🎤 Meet Our Guest:Lauren A. Tetenbaum is a licensed clinical social worker, lawyer, women’s advocate, certified menopause practitioner, mother of two, and author of Millennial Menopause: Preparing for Perimenopause, Menopause, and Life’s Next Period.She blends expertise, honesty, and humor to help women understand the full scope of perimenopause, menopause, and post-menopause — not only as health experiences, but as feminist issues tied to gender equity.
