113 | Radical Moms v. Modern Motherhood, with Natasha Vargas-Cooper and Andrea Haskins

The Radical Moms Union co-founders, Natasha Vargas-Cooper and Andrea Haskins, join me in this two part series. In part one, we chat about how modern motherhood is represented in our society, and how much the radical moms disagree with all of it. The Radical Moms Union is all about the dyad and the attachment of the mother-baby at all costs, while society makes it easier and more acceptable for moms to be detached from their babies instead. 

In this episode we discuss:

-Paris Hilton went to party city and dropped $700 to prep for her baby and how that;s not much different than buying a $1500 snoo.

-The general mom population is detached from birth and their baby in the same way Paris Hilton is.

-All of us are terrified to give birth the first time, unless they’ve taken Unmedicated Academy.

-Society isn’t pressuring moms to breastfeed or have a natural birth, it's more acceptable to be detached from motherhood. 

-The daycare dilemma, choosing to put your children in daycare versus having no choice. 

-The basics of the attachment styles and the large scale of “attachment issues.”

-We would have been more impressed with Hannah of Ballerina Farms if she had stayed home instead of doing the pageant.

-Empowerment and how its meaning has been butchered to describe things that are not empowering.
