Mother and System Fixer
About this episode
The episode discusses the systemic issues surrounding motherhood and caregiving, featuring insights from Stephanie Fornaro.
In this episode of Our Voices, Our Future , we sit down with Stephanie Fornaro, founder of Hello Nanny!, to unpack the structural realities of motherhood that too often remain invisible, yet deeply shape mental health, careers, and family stability. During this episode, we talk about postpartum depression as a systemic outcome, not a personal shortcoming; the overlooked numbers behind caregiving, unpaid labor, and burnout; and how inadequate childcare reverberates far beyond individual households. Stephanie reframes care as economic and public health infrastructure, challenging long-standing narratives that position support as indulgence rather than necessity. We also discuss practical interventions, policy implications, and the mindset shifts needed to move caregiving equity from private struggle to collective responsibility.
