Motherhood in America is not a game anyone is set up to win. For our season finale, we talk to author Angela Garbes about the root of the deep pressures mothers feel in our society, and reframe the conversation about the mental load in a way that is about so much more than handy life hacks.

“There’s never any revolution without mothers and children.”
