Finding The Upside - Episode 39 - The Empty Chairs Told the Story: No Country for Mothers Screening

In this episode of Finding the Upside, I reflect on hosting a screening of No Country for Mothers and how a room with more empty chairs than attendees revealed a powerful truth about how our culture shows up for mothers. As an associate producer of the film, I explore the systemic challenges facing working families—from paid family leave and affordable childcare to the unrealistic expectations placed on mothers—and why these aren't individual problems to solve alone. Most importantly, we talk about the opportunity to replace shame with action, rethink the systems we've accepted, and start the conversations that lead to meaningful change—because every movement begins with someone willing to show up.
