Should women reject the idea of having it all?

from Afternoons

A decade ago, women were told to lean in, to chase the promotion, own ambition and grab a seat at the table. But lately, more women are hitting pause and wondering if that version of success is actually delivering. The internet is obsessed with the girlboss vs tradwife debate between women who chose career over being stay at home parents. But is it really that simple? Emma Waters is a policy analyst at The Heritage Foundation, which is an American think tank that's deeply rooted in Christian conservative principles. She argues most lives don't run on one track, they move in seasons. There are years when work comes first, and years when family, relationships, or raising kids takes the lead. She makes the case for setting aside labels, rejecting the idea that women can have it all, and taking the middle path.

FoodTravelUSA with Elizabeth Dougherty Elizabeth Dougherty Using the chassis of a food and travel show, Elizabeth Dougherty has carved out her own lane in Talk Radio, covering the contamination of the food supply and the travel restrictions placed upon us by an overreaching government. The show also covers data protection, self-sufficiency and homesteading-related topics to help protect to us from this evil, corrupt system. With Elizabeth as the host, the show has a very different sound from the typical male-oriented talk radio. In combination with terrestrial stations that carry the show, we reach people who don't normally listen to politically-driven talk radio. In addition to the LIVE FEED of the show on Saturday afternoons from 5pm-7pm (eastern) / 2pm-4pm (pacific) we produce and distribute a dozen podcast / segments each week.Website: FoodTravelUSA.comHost: Elizabeth DoughertyLive Broadcast: Saturday 5pm Executive Producer: Michael SerioEmail: [email protected] The American Story Christopher Flannery Every generation of Americans has been faced with the same question: how should we live? Our endlessly interesting answers have created The American Story. The weekly episodes published here stretch from battlefields and patriot graves to back roads, school yards, bar stools, city halls, blues joints, summer afternoons, old neighborhoods, ball parks, and deserted beaches—everywhere you find Americans being and becoming American. They are true stories about what it is that makes America beautiful, what it is that makes America good and therefore worthy of love. Each episode aims in some small way to awaken the better angels of our nature, to welcome us into and encourage us to enrich the great American story.
