Re-Broadcast: The Hidden Burden of Unpaid Labor

When I first launched How I Ally, the very first episode I recorded was with Bianca Sprague.

Re-releasing it to open Season 2 feels exactly right.

Because the conversation is just as urgent today as it was then.

Bianca is the founder of BeboMia, an international maternal health training organization operating in over 50 countries. But what makes her voice so powerful is not just her expertise—it’s her willingness to say the things many mothers are thinking but rarely feel allowed to say out loud.

In this episode, we talk about the invisible labor of motherhood, the emotional cost of unpaid care work, and how systemic forces—from capitalism to cultural expectations—shape the way women experience parenting.

And the truth is uncomfortable.
