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.

Menopause—and by extension, perimenopause—is big business. 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.

Do you enjoy reading about health and fitness that pushes back against the dominant diet culture narrative, particularly when it intersects with motherhood? 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. I typically try to steer clear of making sweeping judgments about another person's parenting, particularly if I don't see them in action in real life on a regular basis.

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.

Ask most women how they want to age, and you’ll likely hear something like, “I just want to stay healthy and independent for as long as possible.”That desire often stems from wanting to feel confident, capable, and good in their bodies—even as those bodies change with age. Nothing will put a damper on your ability to age strong than having weak bones. Bone density can literally make or break your quality of life postmenopause.

I write about motherhood and feminism, which sometimes means I cover things like 6 women doing space tourism and calling it an important feminist act. If you enjoy reading about these sorts of topics, please consider becoming a free or paid subscriber. I debated writing about this because so many people on the internet are already talking about the “historic all-female spaceflight” that launched 6 women into space on Monday April 14th. And yet, something about this is event keeps tugging on me.

I write about motherhood and feminism and sometimes reading spicy romance novels as an antidote to the horror show that is the current political climate in the US. Please consider becoming a free or paid subscriber to support my work. This morning I got a book poll for the bookclub I’m only nominally in because I can never go to the meetings. I always do the polls anyway because even if I can’t attend the meetings, I like getting book recommendations to add to my TBR.
