In this enlightening episode of The Parenting 411, we sit down with Elissa Strauss, a celebrated journalist and author of the forthcoming book "When You Care: The Unexpected Magic of Caring for Others." Elissa unpacks the complexities and joys of motherhood, caregiving, and the cultural shifts needed to better support those who nurture. She challenges the outdated notion of "work-life balance" and advocates for a care-infused approach to feminism that opens new doors for everyone. From discussing how caregiving can be beneficial to our personal growth, to exploring the societal and cultural obstacles caregivers face, Elissa offers a fresh perspective on why caring work is undervalued and what we can gain by revaluing it. Tune in as we explore why parenthood might just be the most profound philosophy class you never took, and how shifting our view on care can lead to transformative changes in society.
