With heart, analysis and experience, Mommy Has Questions examines the evolution of motherhood and challenges expectations to create a world where we all thrive. Your exhaustion isn't personal, it's cultural.

Join Cristina, a career professional turned stay-at-home mom, and the Among Other Things co-founders as they connect your daily overwhelm to decades of policies that depend on mothers doing it all. This is where shame becomes solidarity, where private struggles reveal public patterns, and where women discover they're not broken - the system is.

Mommy Has Questions is presented by Among Other Things, a vibrant moms collective dedicated to driving cultural change for all women.

    Episode 8: Do Movies Accurately Portray Motherhood?
    2025/06/05
    📋 Show Notes:🎙️ Episode 8: Do Movies Accurately Portray Motherhood?Subtitle: Moms in MoviesThis week on Mommy Has Questions, Cristina, Jamie, Jess, and Tiffany dive deep into the cultural narrative of motherhood on screen. From Night Bitch to Bluey, the group examines how media shapes our expectations, identities, and experiences as mothers. They explore why it took so long for films to reflect the real emotional and physical realities of parenting, and why so many depictions still feel hollow, idealized, or just plain wrong. The hosts share personal stories about media moments that missed the mark and the few that finally felt true—while unpacking the gender gaps behind the camera that are holding progress back. This episode is an open, honest, and layered look at how storytelling can either reinforce old roles or radically reshape them.🗣️ What We Talk About:- The cultural significance of Night Bitch and why it hit a nerve for moms- How childbirth scenes in movies are often laughably unrealistic- How the male gaze has shaped the dominant narrative of motherhood in media- The loneliness and shame that can result from not seeing your truth reflected on screen- Historical portrayals of moms vs. emerging, more complex characterizations- The importance of female directors, producers and writers telling women’s stories- How movies don’t just reflect culture, but actively create it- What it means to confront cultural stereotypes about mothers before our daughters learn to perpetuate the same things- Representation of fathers and why Bluey might be the role model we didn’t know we needed📚 References:Nightbitch.

  • Episode 7: Why Am I Having A Mental Breakdown?

    Episode 7: Why Am I Having A Mental Breakdown?
    2025/05/29

    📋 Show Notes:

    🎙️ Episode 7: Why Am I Having a Mental Breakdown?
    Subtitle: Parenting: A Public Health Crisis

    Cristina, Tiffany, Jess, and Jamie come together to talk about the mental, emotional, and social weight of parenting in 2025. What begins with Cristina’s story of reflecting upon a breakdown, induced by holiday-prep-burnout, quickly becomes a deeply resonant exploration of why so many moms are feeling on the verge of a mental health breakdown — and what we can do to create more support, equity, and care for each other.

    🗣️ What We Talk About:

    The stress of manufacturing ‘holiday magic’ — and who that burden usually falls on

    Why mothers carry the mental load (and what it’s doing to our health)

    The impossible pressures of “intensive parenting”

    How family dynamics have shifted away from community and toward isolation

    Communication breakdowns in relationships — and how to get on the same page

    Why breakdowns can actually be breakthrough moments

    The importance of naming abuse, stress, and inequality in parenting

    Creating space for women’s health, mental well-being, and self-care

    Real talk on what support systems should actually look like
