Do you enjoy reading about motherhood in ways that push back against the current narrative, fueled by tradwives and pronatalists? Subscribe to What Moves You and help support writing that gives a voice to motherhood that is messy, real, imperfect, and honest. When I was a new mom, I didn’t have any moms I idolized and wanted to model my own motherhood after. My own mom, who reads most of what I write, might be deeply offended by this statement, which isn’t my intent. I love you, mom.

In 2024, the global market for menopause-related products was valued at roughly $17.6 billion, and it’s projected to grow to $24.4 billion by 2030. The drivers of this market are pretty straightforward: By 2025, around 1 billion women will be postmenopausal, according to the North American Menopause Society.

Support my work by reading, liking, and sharing this piece. And of course, the very best way to support my work is with a paid subscription. Andy Elliott is a bad dad.

Love reading about libraries as much as you love reading? Please enjoy this love letter to libraries and the people who work there. And help support more work like this by becoming a free or paid subscriber. Your support makes this possible. I love libraries. Over the years, I’ve accumulated library cards like talismans. Every time we move to a new place, the first thing I do is locate the closest library and get myself a card. Now that all 3 of my kids are old enough, I get them library cards, too.

The pressure to “bounce back” after having a baby is intense. And your ability to bounce back to your old body after giving birth is often graded and used to determine your “goodness” as a woman and mother. Yep, diet culture is E V E R Y W H E R E … even for new moms. When I was pregnant for the first time, bouncing back postpartum wasn’t something I thought much about. In fact, being pregnant felt like I was finally healing a decades-long, tortured relationship with my body and disordered eating.
