The Long Friday: Invisible Labor, Mom Burnout & Why We Need a Strike

Invisible labor, childcare costs, eldercare stress, and the nonstop mental load moms carry. We dive deep into the realities of motherhood with the eye-opening book Invisible Women: Exposing Data Bias in a World Designed for Men by Caroline Criado Perez and share our personal experiences that echo the global stats. From the true cost of childcare to why women recover slower from heart surgery, it’s a raw and real conversation on what moms are carrying — and why it’s time for a Long Friday of our own.
