865K women exiting the workforce in one month is perhaps the long term-impactful economic story of the year, period. Why are only podcasts/outlets aimed at women/moms inviting me to talk about it?

Economics and general interest shows/outlets. Hi. Allow me to introduce myself. I'm a Harvard Nieman fellow, creator of an acclaimed reported podcast on a new generation of working mothers. (pssst.. i have a tip) The status of mothers in the workplace... effects everyone

To clarify, many outlets have covered this stat. My point is that this is a huge generational story that needs voices FROM mothers in the trenches, so our voices aren’t silenced in how we can shape our collective future.

This is a self fulfilling prophecy. When women are forced out of the workplace, they are less likely to able to contribute news coverage, research, Policy ideas, insights and perspective. We’ll be dealIng w this for many years to come

While I have you. Please do not call this “dropping out.” That’s what lazy teens do. This is pushed, shoved and forced out of work by a society who has abandoned us and given us no livable options. Language matters.

And ps - listen to The Double Shift - it’s the ONLY reported podcast that puts working mothers at the center of the story, challenging the status quo http://www.thedoubleshift.com
