What to Expect from Motherhood for Good on Substack

Welcome to Motherhood for Good, where we believe that parenting includes politics—and that the conversations we have and work we do in our own communities can help form the future we want . Here’s what you’re in for:

📰 News, Sans the Snooze

News, legislation updates, that junk drawer of a cabinet…we break it down so it actually makes sense—and won’t make you fall asleep before the kids do. Think less cable news, more “explain it to me like I have 5 minutes before my toddler finds scissors.”

📚 Resources to Feel Empowered

Need to sound smart during your next school board meeting or in front of your in-laws? We’ll have recommendations for the best books, articles, and podcast episodes, advocacy tools, and cheat sheets for everything from MAHA madness to the next high-stakes election (spoiler alert: it’s in Wisconsin in 3 months).

💬 Conversations that Go Beyond “Did You Pack Lunch?”

Join other moms and women who care about more than just matching socks. (Though we totally respect the struggle.) Jump into Q&A sessions, share your thoughts, and maybe even find your next best friend. Glorified grown-up girl scouts?

✨ Cultivated Chaos

Motherhood is chaotic, beautiful, and full of epic meltdowns—sometimes from the kids, sometimes from us. Expect honest stories, sarcastic humor, and the occasional pep talk to get you through your day.

Because let’s face it: parenting and politics? Same tantrums, different characters.
