Rebel Mothers

Motherhood has been used to oppress and exploit women for centuries. But it doesn’t have to be this way, and as mothers, we’re ready for a revolution. We love our kids, but we struggle with losing our identities, bearing the weight of motherhood without enough support, and striving to meet the impossible standards of what it means to be a ‘good’ mother. It’s time to openly discuss how motherhood is deeply affected by patriarchy, racism, and capitalism so that we can break free of these systems. As mothers, we know our work is valuable and has radical potential to birth a more equitable and inclusive future for ourselves and our children.

Welcome to the Rebel Mothers podcast. I’m your host, Susie Fishleder, and together we’ll explore the challenges of modern motherhood and reclaim mothering as an act of liberation.

What is Rebel Mothers?

"Rebel Mothers" challenges the stifling institution of modern motherhood and reclaims mothering as an act of liberation. Each episode we’ll explore the struggles and expectations mothers face in a world built to exploit them, unveil the systematic institutions that create these challenges, and develop strategies for dismantling these oppressive systems. We'll shed light on the intersectionality of motherhood, addressing the unique struggles faced by women of diverse backgrounds. And we’ll hear inspiring stories of fearless women who are redefining the narrative of motherhood.
