The Bodacious Optimist Podcast

Raena Boston on Creating the World We Want for Our Kids

Raena Boston is the leader of the Working Momtras online community and a cofounder of the national nonprofit organization Chamber of Mothers. With a monthly reach of over 4 million, Chamber of Mothers champions the work of existing advocacy groups; educates mothers about the personal impact of politics; and encourages women to use their voices, dollars, and power to hold lawmakers accountable for the nexus of failed or nonexistent support systems for mothers. In this episode Raena talks to Sascha about the intersection of advocacy and parenthood, the need for care infrastructure in America, the power of storytelling, and what she is bodaciously optimistic about as a mother of three young children.
