Can moms pursue their dreams while having children? Actress Michelle Williams, in her recent Golden Globes acceptance speech, said that if she did not have the right to choose, her career would not have been successful. And, all of Hollywood applauded.
This begs the question, do women have put their dreams on hold when they become moms? Do babies and dreams coincide? Should we be applauding a woman who says an entire industry does not support working moms? A recent popular hashtag. #babiesanddreams, went viral about moms who are able to pursue their dreams while having children. But, is this possible for all moms?
Emily and Lauren chat about this simple question with a complex answer. They break it down, give some statistics that affect moms (and dads!), and provide context from the perspective of moms of all walks of life.
