🎧 LISTEN TO: (Not) Regretting Motherhood with Orna Donath
Happy Friday, Privates!
Today is my birthday, and I’m celebrating by getting an Ephemeral Tattoo. I’m super stoked — nine to 15 months seems like the perfect bodily commitment. I’ll let you know how it goes.
And I have a prezzie for you: the latest episode is a must-listen. It’s a fascinating interview about a taboo topic — my favorite! My guest is Orna Donath, an Israeli sociologist, author, and feminist activist who wrote the book Regretting Motherhood based on her research.
We talk about ambivalence vs. regret, the difference in how the genders are socialized around parenthood, the external pressures women face to become mothers, how she conducted her study, and the results. Definitely buy her book if you want to learn more!
REMINDER: I’m fundraising for a reproductive rights reporting trip, and you can help!

🎧 Here’s a playlist of our previous abortion-related episodes, including the “Men Have Abortions Too” series.
I hope you have a fabulous weekend. Have a piece of cake in my honor.
