Making Space for Women's Bodies

"Does the world we build welcome mothers, or does it treat them as a problem to be solved?" That's the question author Leah Libresco Sargeant wrestles with over and over again in her writings on her Substack and elsewhere, and especially in her essay "Designing Woman" for Comment. For this episode of The Natural Womanhood Podcast (S2E8), Grace and Cassie were thrilled to interview Leah about her essay, and her thoughts on what it would take to build workplaces and a society that would truly welcome women, their bodies, and their creative potential.The Natural Womanhood Podcast brings together experts in the field of fertility awareness for candid, informative, and friendly conversations about authentic women’s health.
