She says motherhood in America is "impossible by design," Reshma Saujani on childcare, paid leave, and the culture wars dividing moms

Moms First and Girls Who Code Founder Reshma Saujani joins Julia Boorstin to talk about her documentary 'No Country for Mothers' and why she believes motherhood in America is "impossible by design." They discuss how culture wars distract from real solutions and what it will take to win affordable childcare and paid family leave. Saujani argues that the constant pressure moms feel isn't a personal failure -- it's structural -- and that cultural narratives keep families divided instead of organized for change. The conversation explores how the "trad wife vs. girl boss" debate is the latest version of a long-running culture war that distracts from practical solutions like affordable childcare and paid family leave.

They also discuss the growing "power gap" for women in AI, and how she uses AI tools in her own work, while pushing for broader access so low-income communities aren't left behind.
