The Birkinification of Children

In today’s thought-provoking episode, join your host, Jasmine, as she dives into the complex phenomenon that is the “Birkinification” of having children. What does it mean to approach parenthood with the same mindset as acquiring a handbag? In a world where status symbols and material possessions seem to overshadow the essence of nurturing and raising a child, we explore how the perception of children has shifted in modern society.

Are children becoming commodities—items we collect —rather than the vibrant, living beings they truly are meant to be? Jasmine navigates this hot topic with sensitivity and insight, unpacking the implications of viewing children through the lens of desirability, exclusivity, and market value.

Through candid discussions and real-life anecdotes, we’ll examine how societal pressures, social media influences, and economic factors contribute to this troubling trend. Is this commodification reshaping our values, relationships, and the very essence of family?

Tune in as we challenge conventional notions of parenthood, explore the genuine joys and responsibilities that come with raising children, and confront some uncomfortable realities.

Join Jasmine on this enlightening journey filled with insights, reflections, and the occasional surprise as we seek to reclaim the intrinsic value and sanctity of human life in the midst of a commodified world.
