She says motherhood in America is "impossible by design," Reshma Saujani on fixing childcare, paid family leave, and the culture wars dividing moms 5/19/26

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." Saujani argues that the 'trad wife vs. girl boss' debate is just 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.
