The mothers have spoken

a piece on perspective

Motherly? 's latest State of Motherhood survey is out and packed with insights from Gen Z (18-27) and Millennial (28-43) moms. As the largest statistically significant survey of its kind, it offers a deep dive into what modern motherhood looks like in our country.

Here’s a preview of some key findings, including perspectives from guests and friends of WMH.?

• 2/3 of moms considered leaving the workforce last year due to the stress and cost of childcare, highest among Gen Z at 82%.
• Gen Z moms are 2.5x less likely than Millennial moms to have position flexibility and half as likely to have paid maternity leave.
• Nearly 60% of moms under 30 report equally sharing household responsibilities with a partner vs. 35% of moms over 30.?
• Gen Z moms are signaling a continuing future birth rate decline.

a new episode on adoption:

Join Madeline Caldwell for a special interview with Gretchen Sisson about the often-overlooked stories of mothers who relinquish their children for adoption.?

Gretchen conducted a decade-long adoption study in the age of Roe leading to her recently released book, “Relinquished: The Politics of Adoption and Privilege of American Motherhood.”

The book uncovers how factors like poverty, lack of support, inadequate counseling, and limited access to resources and information force women to make choices they never imagined.
