Government-backed guarantees, from bailouts to bankruptcy protection, help keep the private sector in business in our nation's economic system. What if the same were true not only for businesses but for individuals as well?  In her new book The Guarantee: Inside the Fight for America's Next Economy, Natalie Foster, co-founder and president of the Economic Security Project, invites readers to envision a future where things like housing, health care, higher education, family care, inheritance, and an income floor are not only attainable for everyone but guaranteed by our government. The book blends economics, business, public policy, and social justice and calls for a shift from unchecked capitalism to a country that serves all of its people. The Guarantee examines the changes in government guarantees over the past decade, from student debt relief to the child tax credit expansion. Foster's vision for a new American Guarantee draws from real-life experiences as well as collaborations with activists and visionaries. The Guarantee argues not only that new policies are possible, but that they are ready to implement in twenty-first-century America. Natalie Foster is a leading architect of the movement to build an inclusive and resilient economy. She is the president and co-founder of Economic Security Project and an Aspen Institute Fellow, and her work and writing have appeared in the New York Times, USA Today, Time, Business Insider, CNN, and The Guardian. Natalie speaks regularly on economic security, the future of work, and the new political economy. Natalie previously founded the sharing economy community Peers and co-founded Rebuild the Dream with Van Jones, and served as Digital Director for President Obama's Organizing for America — a leading partner in winning transformative healthcare reform. A daughter of a preacher from Kansas, Natalie draws on the values of community, dignity, and optimism to build a better America. The Guarantee: Inside the Fight for America's Next Economy is her first book. Angela Garbes is the author of Essential Labor: Mothering as Social Change, called “a landmark and a lightning storm” by the New Yorker.

Movies, books, and TV shows tell us we should've already found our people — those close, always dependable, tried-and-true forever friends — by the time we're adults (and if we haven't, there must be something wrong with us). But it's often easier said than done. Where do you find close friends beyond childhood or school? Is it even possible? Like many people navigating adulthood, Lane Moore thought she would have friends by now. Sure, Moore has plenty of casual acquaintances and people she likes hanging out with, but she wanted to find her people — the ones she lists as her emergency contact, the ones she calls when something funny or horrible happens, the ones who bring over soup over when she's sick as she would do for them — her chosen family. You Will Find Your People is the groundbreaking guide to making and keeping the friends we've all been desperately waiting for. In this follow-up to her best-selling book How to Be Alone, Moore shows us how to make real friends as an adult, cope with friend breakups, navigate friendships with coworkers, roommates, and family members, and provides real tools on how to create healthy boundaries with friends to deepen your bonds. Through hilarious personal anecdotes and hard-won wisdom, Moore teaches us how to finally work through our fears and past hurts, to bravely cultivate and maintain the lifelong friendships we deserve. Lane Moore is an award-winning stand-up comedian, actor, author, and musician. Moore is the creator of the hit comedy show Tinder Live, and the bestselling author of How To Be Alone and the forthcoming You Will Find Your People. Moore's writing has appeared everywhere from The New Yorker to The Onion, and she is the former sex and relationships editor at Cosmopolitan, where she received a GLAAD Award for her groundbreaking work expanding the magazine's queer coverage. Moore is the frontperson in the band It Was Romance and lives in Brooklyn with her dog-child, Lights. Angela Garbes is the author of Essential Labor: Mothering as Social Change, called “a landmark and a lightning storm” by the New Yorker. Essential Labor was named a Best Book of 2022 by both the New Yorker and NPR. Her first book, Like a Mother, was also an NPR Best Book of the Year as well as a finalist for the Washington State Book Award in nonfiction. Her writing has appeared in The Atlantic, The New York Times, and New York Magazine, and featured on The Daily Show with Trevor Noah and Fresh Air with Terry Gross. A first-generation Filipina American, Garbes lives with her family on Beacon Hill. Lindy West is a former contributing opinion writer for The New York Times, and is the author of Shit, Actually, the New York Times bestselling memoir Shrill, and the essay collection The Witches Are Coming. Her work has also appeared in This American Life, The Guardian, Cosmopolitan, GQ, Vulture, Jezebel, and others. She is the co-founder of the reproductive rights destigmatization campaign #ShoutYourAbortion. Lindy is a writer and executive producer on Shrill, the Hulu comedy adapted from her memoir.

Angela Garbes's first book, Like a Mother, looked at the science, myths, and inequities surrounding pregnancy and motherhood. Her latest book, Essential Labor: Mothering as Social Change, continues to examine obstacles and injustices faced by parents and other caregivers. In this book, Garbes also looks at her own family's history as members of the Filipino American community, many of whom are tasked with the least desirable caregiving duties.  On September 9, 2022, Garbes spoke with Shereen Marisol Meraji, award-winning journalist, professor at UC Berkeley, and founding co-host and senior producer emerita of Code Switch, NPR's podcast about race and identity in America. 

On today's “Post Reports,” a conversation with author Angela Garbes about her new book, “Essential Labor: Mothering as Social Change.” Read more:In 2020, author Angela Garbes found herself at home taking care of her two daughters, clinically depressed and unable to write. It was a time when people were told to stay home, unless you were an essential worker. “But I remember sitting there being like, ‘What about me?' ” Garbes told “Post Reports” editor Lexie Diao. “What about parents? What about mothers? Like, what we are doing is nothing less than essential. … The pandemic has exposed that without care, we're lost.”Garbes's new book is called “Essential Labor: Mothering as Social Change.” The book examines the history of caregiving in America through the lens of the author's own Filipinx identity, and makes the case that caregiving is an undervalued and overlooked labor that disproportionately relies on women of color.

Pratt’s Ferry Preserve is a put-in spot. A place to launch kayaks and canoes. Maybe more accurate (if a bit less pleasant-sounding) to call it a take-out spot, though, as I’ve seen far more boaters disembarking here at this point between two bends of the Cahaba River. A waypoint. A place for comings and goings. I’ve never done much of anything here, though. For us — my wife and I — it has been a place to idle, to float, and, yes, to watch the occasional kayaker paddle into shore.We’d started coming here in the summer of 2020 — the pandemic at a peak, the world suspended. Pratt’s Ferry Preserve sits under a bridge in West Blocton, a small town in Bibb County about halfway between Birmingham and Tuscaloosa, where we were living at the time. It’s a quiet spot; we’ll often have the place to ourselves. A good alternative to the wildlife refuge that’s not too far away — beautiful when the lilies are in bloom but often crowded and too shallow to get a proper swim in. We had a go-to swimming hole in Tuscaloosa but, times being what they are, the e-coli was in bloom and we were forced to look further out. This spot isn’t much to speak of — a gravel beach on one side, some trees under which to read, an embankment of rock on the other side, worn to a cross-section by river time. It became my custom to swim out across the river to the spot where the channel narrows and the current accelerates. I could fashion a sort of infinity pool, turning into the current and swimming upstream. I had to swim my little heart out just to stay in the same place. Moving furiously and not getting anywhere.Shaelyn was seven months pregnant that summer and the weightlessness afforded by the water, the relief that came with it, was one of the few things to safely seek out and enjoy beyond our apartment door. How often have I looked from the riverbank out on Shaelyn wading in the water, her belly half-submerged, the current encircling her, framed by a simple beam bridge above, and wondering what to expect?Expecting — that’s what they say about pregnancy. You’re expecting. A funny phrase, given the circumstances. Beyond the very immediate meaning of it — a child to be born — it was getting harder and harder to hazard any guesses about what would happen next. Or what wouldn’t happen next. On the day we’d planned to be married, the Times ran the names of the first one hundred thousand Americans to die from the coronavirus. We’d canceled the wedding, of course, and I’d been furloughed. Shaelyn’s job transfer hadn’t gone through. There was no foreseeable future. I’d look downriver but couldn’t see beyond the nearest bend.It’s been two years since we first started coming to this spot on the Cahaba. Early this July, we went back. We took the backroads across central Alabama pastureland. The wet-towel humidity of a deep south summer day. The corridors of scorched pink mimosa and deep magenta crepe myrtle blooms flanking the county roads. The play of light and shadow across the tall clouds. You can’t step in the same river twice, we know that from Heraclitus. The river’s moved on, of course, and besides, you’ve changed, too. But Ozzie? Ozzie had never stepped in the river before. In any river. But today, framed by that same bridge, she’d stepped into the current, too.Earlier that day, we’d buried Ozzie’s placenta under an elm tree. That’s a sentence I’d never expected to write. But so much for expectations. Maybe the idea burying Ozzie’s placenta sounds like a strange thing to do. It did a bit to me at first. Not so much anymore though. Ozzie’s placenta — I say that intentionally. Though it grew in Shaelyn’s womb, it carries 50% of Shaelyn’s genetic makeup, 50% of mine. Which is to say: It’s Ozzie’s. I learned that from Angela Garbes’s book Like a Mother: A Feminist Journey Through the Science and Culture of Pregnancy. Shaelyn had read the book early on and then made sure I did, too. Here are some other things I learned from Garbes about the placenta: The placenta’s an organ, the organ that precedes all others. It grows to support the baby and tethers the mother and the child. Provides nutrients as she floats weightless in the womb. It exchanges oxygen and carbon dioxide. It passes antibodies to the child and fetal cells to the mother. Oversees the comings and goings. And it lives in time. It will grow as the baby grows, but then it ages, too, stops growing, deteriorates. It has its own lifespan.So when the midwife asked if we wanted the placenta, we gave it some thought. What would become of it if we didn’t want it? The hospital considers it medical waste. “Afterbirth.” They’d pitch it unless we told them otherwise.So we told them otherwise.Shaelyn has an autoimmune disease. One that designated the pregnancy as “high risk.” It can result in heartblock, give way to stillbirth, or calcify the placenta. At our 38-week appointment, Ozzie measured small. Come back in two days, the midwife said, and we’ll measure again. Two days later we came back and again Ozzie measured small. She wasn’t growing. We were admitted. They induced.September 12th, a Saturday, just before ten, Ozzie came. A few moments later the placenta followed. Our midwife swaddled Ozzie and handed her to Shaelyn. Then she showed us the placenta — deep red and bulbous —  pointing to the places where it had calcified, where the Wharton’s jelly had dissolved. That’s the substance that cushions the bending of the umbilical cord and without which it becomes harder for the baby to get nutrients or oxygen. Those moments during delivery when Ozzie’s heart rate had stopped — those moments when everything had stopped — we could now attribute to that, the going of the placenta.But she was here. Blinking, breathing, grabbing for the nipple. A little early, a little yellow, and a little underweight, but blinking, breathing, grabbing for the nipple.They double-bagged the placenta and put it on ice. And they took Ozzie to the NICU. We spent a week quarantining in the hospital to be with her — I think I spent a cumulative thirty minutes outside that week — but almost immediately the routine of those days became ritual. Every three hours, the walk through the labyrinthine hallways of the fourth floor. The bright buzz of the clustered halogens in the drop ceiling. The scrubdown with the single-use brush and nail scraper.  The unfathomable comings and goings, the miracles and tragedies happening everywhere all around in the whirr and beep and wail of the room. The drawing of blood from Ozzie’s feet, the nursing, the feeding, the recitation of Rolling Thunder Revue-era Bob Dylan songs.After a week, Ozzie’s weight was up, her blood sugar, too, and they discharged us. The placenta, in a plastic gallon container, waited for us on the counter of the nurse’s station. We stopped at the cafeteria to break a twenty for the parking lot and on the muted television in the corner, the news that Ruth Bader Ginsburg had died.There was no one at the gate of the parking lot. We waited for what seemed like an age, dollar bills in hand, wondering if we were trapped when suddenly the gate lifted and we took Ozzie home.We put the placenta in the freezer. And for a while, it became part of the furniture there. Every once in a while one of us would say to the other, we should bury Ozzie’s placenta soon. Definitely before we move. And after we moved we kept saying it: we should bury Ozzie’s placenta soon. And now, today, at long last, we had. Planted it under an elm tree. And then we went swimming.That week, Ruth Bader Ginsburg’s replacement on the Supreme Court, Amy Coney Barrett, had voted to overturn Roe v. Wade, the constitutional right that had protected Shaelyn through this high-risk pregnancy. Its overturning now precludes the possibility of our having another.But we have Ozzie and Ozzie is healthy. Wrong to say that the placenta gave out. It lives in time. And it saw her through. Sent her into water, weight, time. It came and went.What now might we expect? What might Ozzie expect? In the foreseeable future, she can expect to swim, to join the current. She can expect the bend in the river and the unknown beyond.Burying the placenta — as foreign a concept as it was to me and to the American medical establishment — it’s really not that uncommon. New Zealand, Indonesia, Ukraine, they all have customs regarding the placenta. In the Hmong tradition, the soul retrieves the placenta after death to wear as a jacket on the voyage to the afterlife.“I like the thought of that,” Shaelyn said that day as we sat in the current, forty miles and two years downriver from the hospital where Ozzie was born, thinking of her jacket under the elm tree, that jacket that’s fifty percent of her, fifty percent of me. “That when she leaves, she’ll come back to us.” This is a public episode.

Angela Garbes, the acclaimed author of Like a Mother, reflects on the state of caregiving in America. In her new book Essential Labor: Mothering as Social Change, Garbes explores assumptions about care, work and deservedness, offering a deeply personal and rigorously reported look at what mothering is and can be. She places mothering in a global context to critically examine her perspectives of the complicated relationship to care work as a first-generation Filipino-American. Despite the mentally and physically demanding work mothers must endure in the absence of a social safety net to support them, she reframes caregiving as an opportunity to find meaning, to nurture a more profound sense of self, pleasure and belonging. Join Angela Garbes and Jenny Odell for a powerful conversation on mothering as social change and how the act of caregiving offers the potential to create a more equitable society.

Mothering is work. It's creative, it's exhausting, it can be financially crushing, and it is immeasurably rewarding. But always, it is work. Our guest this week is Angela Garbes, bestselling author of Like a Mother. Her new book, Essential Labor: Mothering as Social Change is now available. About Essential Labor From the acclaimed author of Like a Mother comes a reflection on the state of caregiving in America, and an exploration of mothering as a means of social change. The Covid-19 pandemic shed fresh light on a long-overlooked truth: mothering is among the only essential work humans do. In response to the increasing weight placed on mothers and caregivers—and the lack of a social safety net to support them—writer Angela Garbes found herself pondering a vital question: How, under our current circumstances that leave us lonely, exhausted, and financially strained, might we demand more from American family life? In Essential Labor, Garbes explores assumptions about care, work, and deservedness, offering a deeply personal and rigorously reported look at what mothering is, and can be. A first-generation Filipino-American, Garbes shares the perspective of her family's complicated relationship to care work, placing mothering in a global context—the invisible economic engine that has been historically demanded of women of color. Garbes contends that while the labor of raising children is devalued in America, the act of mothering offers the radical potential to create a more equitable society. In Essential Labor, Garbes reframes the physically and mentally draining work of meeting a child's bodily and emotional needs as opportunities to find meaning, to nurture a deeper sense of self, pleasure, and belonging. This is highly skilled labor, work that impacts society at its most foundational level. Part galvanizing manifesto, part poignant narrative, Essential Labor is a beautifully rendered reflection on care that reminds us of the irrefutable power and beauty of mothering. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/alyssa-milano-sorry-not-sorry/message

Angela Garbes is the author of the now-classic Like a Mother and her new book, which grew out of her New York Magazine cover story (about how the pandemic was disrupting women's lives) went viral and was shared by everyone from Melinda Gates to Elizabeth Warren. Angela didn't want to write another book about motherhood. But during the pandemic, when school and child care center shutdowns left her with nothing to do but mother, she witnessed all her frustrations and racing thoughts about the state of caregiving in America show up in newspapers, on the radio, and in Zoom conversations. During this time, many people came to understand—for the first time or with renewed urgency—that American life is not working for families. Angela's next book, Essential Labor, maintains that mothering is not limited to the people who give birth to children; it is not defined by gender. While “mother” is an important identity for many women who still provide the majority of care to children in America, no one cares for children entirely on their own. The pandemic revealed that mothering is some of the only truly essential work humans do. Without people to care for our children, we are lost. Garbes explores our history of care and how we got to where we are today: a wealthy country with an invaluable work force of women, most of them brown and black, performing our most important work for free or at poverty wages. Jess and Jess have so many questions for Angela- and she has answers....but in typical WeSTAT fashion, there are some incredibly vulnerable moments in this conversation as the three women explore what work is, what mothering is, and how we marry the two.**Angela's book, Essential Labor, goes on sale May 10, 2022. https://www.amazon.com/Essential-Labor-Mothering-Social-Change-ebook/dp/B09C64HQWWThanks to our sponsors and check them out for more information:ART International: https://artherapyinternational.org/Seward Group: https://www.sewardrealtygroup.com/Soul Speak Press: https://www.jessbuchanan.com/coachingSupport the show

Like most first-time mothers, food and culture writer Angela Garbes was filled with questions when she first became pregnant. And like many mothers, she sought satisfactory answers to the scientific mysteries and cultural myths that surround motherhood. She joined us with a compilation of the wisdom from her book Like a Mother: A Feminist Journey Through the Science and Culture of Pregnancy, debunking myths and dated assumptions. Garbes shared the results of her intensive search for judgement-free answers to the questions that had filled her mind. She demystified the topic of pregnancy and encouraged women the freedom to choose the right path themselves, rather than filtering information through a lens of what women ought to do. Garbes was joined in conversation with Seattle-based writer Lindy West to share a rigorously researched look at the physiology, biology, chemistry, and psychology of pregnancy and motherhood. Garbes and West offered personal and feminist guidance to women navigating one of the biggest and most profound changes in their lives, and unpack the science behind postpartum hormones, breast milk, miscarriage, and more. Join Garbes and West for an exploration of pregnancy infused with candor, humor, awe, and appreciation of the human body. Angela Garbes is a Seattle-based author and journalist, and former staff food writer at Seattle newsweekly The Stranger, where she contributes articles on food, culture, and other feature stories. She is the author of Like a Mother: A Feminist Journey Through the Science and Culture of Pregnancy. Lindy West is a Seattle-based writer, editor and performer whose work focuses on pop culture, social justice, humour and body image. She is a contributing editor and opinion writer for The New York Timesand the author of Shrill: Notes from a Loud Woman. Her essays on feminism, social justice, body image, and popular culture have been featured in Jezebel, Cosmopolitan, GQ and The Stranger and on “This American Life.” Recorded live at The Summit by Town Hall Seattle on Wednesday, June 13, 2018.
