Rewind: Challenging Our Individualistic Culture with Erin Spahr
Challenging Our Individualistic Culture with Erin Spahr @feminist.mom.therapist
In this episode, Rachael interviews Erin Spahr, a licensed therapist, mother, and maternal mental health advocate. They discuss the intersection of feminism and motherhood, the lack of support and systemic oppression faced by women and parents, and the harmful effects of comparison and external validation on social media.
Here’s what they discuss in this episode:
The importance of self-compassion and self-trust in navigating motherhood
The need for inclusive and identity-affirming care for perinatal individuals
Lack of federal paid parental leave in the US and how it is a MAJOR issue for mothers
How harmful the societal ideology of individualism and the expectation that mothers should do it all without support is
All about the tradwife movement and how it glamorizes an unrealistic and oppressive view of motherhood.
Why does feminism have a negative connotation?
And so much more!
