The Value of Different Types of Moms

Society often fails to appreciate the value and importance of stay-at-home moms, labeling them as 'just moms.' On the contrary, specific types of moms like new moms with babies, career moms, mompreneurs, and moms pursuing education receive more societal recognition and support. Stay-at-home moms and homeschooling moms, however, face criticism and lack of acknowledgment for their efforts. The podcast highlights the disparities in how various types of moms are perceived and emphasizes the need to recognize and value the diverse roles and challenges of motherhood.
