Here's to the incredible moms who keep our families (and wallets!) in check. Happy Mothers Day!💐 #MothersDay2024 #SmartMedia #StandOut

Have you seen this Vox article going around? Have you taken a moment to read it yet? In a potentially ironic twist (Alanis still has us messed up on what irony actually is) the headline may make you feel the dread of motherhood, but actually author Rachel M. Cohen does beautiful work here of uncovering not only HOW some of us have come to dread motherhood, but what the data actually tells and shows us is true - a picture that is both more complex, and rosier in fact. Here are a couple of the pull quotes that rang out to us ... with a special thanks to Cohen for linking to Chamber of Mothers as one of those working to make motherhood easier. - "Should we stumble across moms on Instagram, Facebook, or TikTok who do seem to be enjoying the experience of child-rearing, we're taught to be very, very suspicious. Assume they're 'pitchwomen.' Assume they're ridiculously wealthy. Assume, as Times columnist Jessica Grose put it, that they're mostly peddling 'pernicious expectations.'" - "As Jennifer Senior notes in her book All Joy and No Fun, 'the idea that children give us structure, purpose, and stronger bonds to the world around us doesn't always show up in social science data' because of how researchers craft questions." - "Many smart, creative people have been thinking more deeply about practical ways to make motherhood easier, to weaken its sticky, suffocating pressures. It's not always easy to see, but things are changing, and can change further. We're not glossing over anything by making that clear." - "We should have the courage to reject the all-encompassing crisis frame - which frankly isn't working anyway. We can't expect to fully eliminate dread or even regret over having children." What do you think? https://lnkd.in/djKKZTzE

As a millennial juggling work and my kiddos (ages 6, 3, 2, and 6 weeks), this article felt relevant. It's spot on about how motherhood and parenting cover a wide spectrum. Most of us are cruising somewhere in the middle, handling the daily rollercoaster without a podcast to share our wins and struggles openly. Honestly, we're just trying to keep up with parenting and life itself! Here's a little tip: Extreme views tend to grab attention, but when it comes to understanding motherhood, no single podcast or study can capture its full essence. They often swing between complaints or overly optimistic views. Then there is the swath of platforms offering trauma informed advice, disguised as parenting tips, so take it with a grain of salt. Find people whose outcomes you admire (family wise) and ask them for advice, and/or trust yourself to figure out what’s best for you and yours, the rest is just noise. For me the reality is, being a mom brings both tough moments and incredible rewards. But in the end, I see it as an absolutely beautiful journey. Who/what has most influenced your views on parenthood?

As the baby boomer generation continues to age, more and more Americans will be faced with the difficult decision of elder care - a task for which many millennials and Gen Zers are not fully prepared. Currently, over 40 million Americans are acting as caregivers for their older family members or friends, and many describe feeling surprised and isolated when they realize their loved ones need extra support. With limited public discussion around aging and disability, it is crucial that individuals begin preparing themselves for this responsibility sooner rather than later in order to provide the best possible care for their loved ones. #aginginplace #seniorcitizens

Breakfast with founders 🥐 Today I met with Yasin A. Solo founder of HotPatch - who’s built a powerhouse marketplace platform for renting out under-utilised spaces such as studios, kitchens, events spaces and even sex dungeons..! We spoke at length about the powers of SEO content and the impact it can have on reach, when taking a very systematic approach to a location based business - but also trying to understand buyer demands and how to work backwards from there. Yasin really knows what it takes to push a proof of concept, bring an MVP to life and stretching the ROI of every decision. And it’s achieving great things! Something that particularly stuck with me is how to approach growing teams and the trust and self-accountability you can nurture as a founder. I do encourage you to check out HotPatch, if you haven’t already gone on to search for sex dungeons. ----- If you're a founder keen to meet, I'd love to have a breakfast with you in London. Link to sign up is in my featured section. Naturally, I can't meet with everyone, but I'll always try to make time to speak!
