It’s 2019, yet our society wants mothers to work as if they don’t have kids AND for mothers to have kids as if they don’t work. Join us for Episode 7 with Energy Bees co-founder Sadie Bronk as we walk through her career and life journey from navigating an unexpected career path out of college, becoming a director by age 35, to starting a small, women-owned and LGBTQ-owned business soon after becoming a mother.

While we didn’t cover it in this episode, we want to reiterate that reproductive rights and the right to family leave is not solely a women’s issue. Our current dialogue leaves out trans and gender non-binary + people out, but they have just as much of a right to these as cis-gender women: https://www.peoplesworld.org/article/trans-communities-are-being-left-out-of-abortion-debate/
