À propos de cet audio

 In this week’s episode of The Audaci-Tea Podcast, your hosts Lisa, Sovereign, and Gwen ask the question, "Is motherhood a choice, or is it a trap we're all expected to fall into?" For generations, society has pushed a narrative about women’s ultimate purpose. But what if that narrative isn’t just outdated, but actively harmful? This episode unpacks the uncomfortable truth about the “choice” to be a mother. But first, in Tea Time, the hosts discuss a new Chinese pregnancy robot expected to give birth by next year, how Medicaid cuts will impact the elderly, and Trump’s military takeover of Washington D.C. To close things out, they review the film Hidden Figures and dive into what was fact, what was fiction, and what Hollywood left out. 🎧 This episode explores how cultural expectations around motherhood shape women’s choices, identities, and freedoms. 🎙️ Topics Discussed: The pressure women face from family, culture, and media to become mothersThe myth of the “biological clock” and baby feverChild-free women navigating stigma and judgmentThe propaganda of parenthood and glamorization of motherhoodEldest daughter syndrome and the hidden burdens of parentificationWorkplace and systemic challenges faced by mothers ✨ Links and Resources Mentioned: Medicaid Cuts Will Devastate Nursing Home Residents https://medicareadvocacy.org/issue-brief-medicaid-cuts-will-devastate-nursing-home-residents/ Hospital Layoffs Escalate—Impact Spreads from Support Staff to Nurses https://nurse.org/news/hospital-nurse-layoffs-us-healthcare-trends/#:~:text=Hospitals%20and%20long%2Dterm%20care,changes%20in%20federal%20reimbursement%20rates.
