Have you ever felt overwhelmed by all the conflicting advice constantly hurled at moms, or heck, even the assumption that being a woman means you’ll become a mom one day? If you audibly groaned while reading that question, then Undefining Motherhood is the podcast for you, friend. In a world quick to comment on everything from the timing of motherhood to the ‘right’ way to do it, it’s no wonder we often feel overwhelmed, judged, guilty, and shamed.
Hosted by Katy Huie Harrison, mom to two littles and four angel babies, along with co-host Sarah Creel, aunt and hopeful future mama, this podcast unravels all the conflicting advice and validates the tricky experience of being a woman, future mother, or mother. With PhDs and over a decade spent unraveling how cultural narratives shape the experiences of being a mother (Katy) and being a woman in a marginalized position (Sarah), we’re here to shred the rule books and the relentless tide of expectations they bring.
That, friend, is exactly why we’re here. We’re pushing back against the social commentary that complicates moms’ experiences. In this safe space, the complexities of motherhood find a candid, unfiltered voice. We bring decades of research, years of experience, fun tidbits of history, and some serious feminism to our conversations about how, and why, we need to undefine motherhood. No dogmas, rule books, parenting styles, or mom overwhelm here. Just solidarity from two friends who get how hard it is and are working tirelessly to make life better for you.
We’re undefining motherhood--one conversation at a time.

S1 EP4: “Who’s Watching The Kids?” Why Families Lose When We Think of Moms as Default Parents
When we think of moms as default parents and dads as babysitters, everybody loses. And yet, the norm remains. When dads meet up for a golf day, no one asks who’s watching the kids. But when moms manage to leave the house without little ones in tow, it’s a question we hear constantly.
In this episode, we talk about:
How we got here
How sick of moms and dads BOTH are of this double standard
Why it’s a problem for parents of all gender identities and sexualities
Institutional changes we desperately need to better support all parents
This conversation is so important, and it’s also just the beginning. Today, we’re telling our own stories and talking about desperately needed social changes to better support parents.
Then be sure to join us for the next two episodes, where we’re talking with New York Time Bestselling Author Eve Rodsky about active steps we can take in our homes today to make all of our lives better, happier, and more equitable.
