Inflection Point with Lauren Schiller; The "Lady Tax"; BuzzFeed Parents' Editor Talks Maternal Mental Health
Description:
We've heard a lot about making things easier for families this election season, but the cost of childcare is still higher than college tuition in some states. Vivien Labaton has founded an advocacy organization called Make it Work to influence policies in support of paid family leave, equal pay and affordable childcare. She shares her personal story of growing up with a single dad, and what she ran into when the time came to care for her own child. Plus, Morgan Shanahan is a founding editor of Buzzfeed Parents. She makes visitors to the site laugh daily about parenting challenges, but has been struggling with maternal mental illness for most of her child's life. She shares how her work has helped her cope.
