About this episode

Jordan talks with Nadya Williams about her new book on children and mothers. They cover topics like whether our culture is really hostile to mothers, if there is a built-in disdain for motherhood, why many reflections on children and motherhood come from secular frameworks and push children out of view, what messages expecting mothers encounter when they go to a typical doctor's office for prenatal care, and why our culture "commodifies" children.
