The Truth about Daycare, Working Mothers and Parenting – Erica Komisar | Wisdom Rebellion #007

Why has modern society turned its back on motherhood?

In this conversation with Erica Komisar, we dive deep into the often-overlooked devaluation of motherhood and how the feminism has shifted priorities from caregiving to work. We uncover the crucial importance of nurturing, the struggles some women face in embracing motherhood, and the societal forces at play that influence these challenges.

You'll learn about the pivotal role of maternal presence and attachment during a child's early years and adolescence, and understand how the emotional needs of children and parents should be better supported through flexible careers and societal change.

Join us in exploring this compelling discussion on the fundamental value of motherhood and its impact on future generations – and how it’s all threatened by the cultural changes around us.

Tune in to understand the societal shift that's leaving children behind and learn how we can all steer our course towards a better future.
