“I think the biggest part of doing this work is realizing the blueprint in many ways is already there. We just need to organize people to know what to do. I think a lot of the Chamber of Mothers' mission is you don't have to go it alone. We could all join together and we don't have to know every single thing. We don't have to be perfect at it, but we could know enough to be dangerous.” ~ Raena Boston

In this episode, Kaitlin speaks with Raena Boston. An HR professional for a professional services firm by day, Raena has been described in her after-five role as a table-shaking, sailor-talkin’ truth-teller at her expanding corner of the internet called The Working Momtras. The Working Momtras is a community where she discusses all things motherhood, marriage, careers, and parenting.

It was through that online community that Kaitlin found Raena’s inspiring activist content. In this conversation, they dig in about how we can be the parents to our children we wish we could be, while also maintaining creative careers and pushing forward with important activist agendas.

Raena and Kaitlin talk about:

• How Raena came to consider herself a content creator and writer as a mother, and what these roles mean to her.
• Versions of success vis-à-vis motherhood and how her definition of success has changed.
• The Inspiration behind her writing work with The Working Momtras and her advocacy work with the Chamber of Mothers.
• What each one of us can do to support and advance advocacy work for better maternal care, paid leave, affordable childcare, and family support policies
