  • Hope for only a short pause

    It’s heart breaking to hear such a great podcast not being able to continue its meaningful work because it isn’t sustainable. While shows much lousier and meaningless get to keep producing.

    I can only hope this is a beginning for more in depth conversations on how we need to fight for societies that enable women to succeed at work without being demanded to prioritize home demands like childcare. I am one who will make sure her sons will one day be men who not only support but ensure equity resu... more

  • Perspective

    This podcast is incredible! How wrong were those first potential investors that passed on Katherine Goldstein when she pitched it to them. THANK YOU Katherine for following through, going with your gut and bringing this out to the world. Having a second baby has been quite a rough adjustment but when listening to this, it gives me so much perspective and I not only realize I have it pretty good but that I’m not the only one struggling some days 🙌🏻💕 moms and parents- share!

  • Love their honest take on motherhood and work

    No matter how you try, you can’t do it alone and this podcast lets you know you’re not crazy for feeling like that. Women and caregivers get the short end of the stick, and we need to value their (our) work. Katherine and Angela are open and honest on what’s broken in the system, and how that affects them personally. Can’t wait for each episode!

  • My Hands-down Favorite Podcast

    The work the Double Shift is doing is so valuable - from the beginning they have worked to share stories of parenthood in all its forms. I listen because it reflects a reality that I need to know exists, it helps keep hope alive.
