With heart, analysis and experience, Mommy Has Questions examines the evolution of motherhood and challenges expectations to create a world where we all thrive. Your exhaustion isn't personal, it's cultural.

Join Cristina, a career professional turned stay-at-home mom, and the Among Other Things co-founders as they connect your daily overwhelm to decades of policies that depend on mothers doing it all. This is where shame becomes solidarity, where private struggles reveal public patterns, and where women discover they're not broken - the system is.

  • S2E3: What’s It Like Being a Stay-at-Home Dad?
    Nov 20 2025

    🎙️ Season 2, Episode 3: What's It Like Being a Stay-at-Home Dad?

    An Honest Conversation About Fatherhood, Caregiving, and What It Means to Be a Man Today

    In this eye-opening episode, Cristina and Tiffany welcome a longtime friend and truly special guest, Matt Groff — a stay-at-home father, primary caregiver, writer, literary critic, puppeteer, and blogger. Matt brings a deeply honest, thoughtful, and often surprising perspective on caregiving, identity, masculinity, and partnership in modern America.

    This conversation follows Episode 2, where we asked: What do young men in America actually need today? Now, we flip the lens inward and explore caregiving and masculinity from the lived experience of a full-time dad who chose this role, joyfully.

    This conversation widens the lens on masculinity, caregiving, and gender norms. It asks listeners to rethink old assumptions, recognize caregiving as human work rather than “women’s work,” and imagine a future where both men and women have the freedom to build purpose and family on their own terms.

    🗣️ What We Talk About:

    - Identity, masculinity & purpose

    - Caregiving is not a “women’s issue”

    - Generational shifts in how people react to a stay-at-home dad

    - Partnership & redefining the provider role

    - The “men in crisis” narrative & why it’s being blamed on women

    - Loneliness, community & adult connection

  • S2E2: What Do Young Men Need?
    Nov 13 2025

    🎙️ Season 2, Episode 2: What Do Young Men Need?

    How Patriarchy is Failing Our Boys (and Men Too)

    In this episode of Mommy Has Questions, the moms dig into one of today’s most pressing and complex cultural topics: the crisis of young men. Inspired by a conversation on The Prof G Pod with Jonathan Haidt and Richard Reeves, Cristina, Tiffany, Jamie, and Jess unpack what’s really going on with men aged 18–34 — and what they actually need from society, from women, and from themselves.

    They explore how patriarchy is failing men too, why emotional regulation is missing from male conditioning, and how structural inequality and economic stagnation have left a generation feeling lost. From “boys will be boys” to pay gaps and parental leave, this episode dives deep into how we can all — together — redefine strength, connection, and masculinity for the next generation.

    🗣️ What We Talk About:

    Why young men (18–34) are struggling in today’s culture

    How patriarchy harms men emotionally as much as it limits women socially

    What boys actually learn about emotion — and what they don’t

    The generational and economic roots of male frustration

    Why women are “blaming the system,” not men

    How to model emotional intelligence and healthy masculinity for our sons

    The myth of “boys will be boys” and what it costs all of us
