Women take on the lion's share of housework in heterosexual partnerships, and that gap in labor becomes a chasm once a child is born. Once Mom is the default parent, it becomes very difficult to even out the distribution of housework and parenting more equally. Mary Catherine Starr, author of the new book MAMA NEEDS A MINUTE, has renegotiated the distribution of labor in her own marriage post-kids and has tips for how other women can do the same. Mary Catherine Starr is an artist, graphic designer, and author. Her hugely popular Instagram account @momlife_comics explores motherhood, marriage, and the double standards of parenting. Mary Catherine and Amy discuss: What inspired Mary Catherine to start Mom Life Comics Why women usually become the default parent as soon as a baby is born Why Mary Catherine's cartoons help women explain the mental load to their partners Here's where you can find Mary Catherine: https://www.marycatherinestarr.com/ @momlife_comics on IG marycatherinestarr.substack.com Buy MAMA NEEDS A MINUTE: https://bookshop.org/a/12099/9781797226866 We love the sponsors that make this show possible!

Ever feel like you're the only one who knows when the kids need new shoes, what's in the fridge, and that the toilet paper supply is dangerously low? That's the mental load of motherhood, and if you're drowning in invisible tasks while your partner somehow doesn't notice, you're not alone. Today, we're joined by Mary Catherine Starr—artist, feminist, and creator of Mom Life Comics—who's back for her second time on the podcast to share hilarious and painfully relatable truths about motherhood, marriage, and mental overload. Her new book, Mama Needs a Minute, puts all those unspoken frustrations into words (and comics), making moms everywhere feel seen. In this episode, we break down the mental load of motherhood and how to balance it without feeling like a nag or giving up altogether. Mary Catherine shares why household tasks slowly shift onto moms, how to set boundaries (without guilt), and why sometimes the best move is just… doing nothing. If you've ever gritted your teeth at a sink full of dishes or wondered why no one else seems stressed about school picture day, this episode is for you! Hit play now and learn how to balance the mental load of motherhood without losing your mind!

Welcome to another laughter-filled episode, where the art of daily life and the chaos of parenting collide in comic strips!

FOKUS Dagbogstegninger, tegnet autofiktion, serielle eller ej, er massekultur på de sociale medier, særligt Instagram. Der er tale om skabere - særligt kvinder - der formidler deres levede liv, deres refleksioner over det nære til hundredetusindvis af følgere. De universaliserer og satiriserer deres hverdag med vid og humor, ofte med den feministiske erkendelse at det personlige er politisk. Vi diskuterer dette, et af de betydeligste fænomener indenfor tiden tegneserier, med Charlotte Johanne Fabricius, Ph.D. Hun er redaktør på Nummer9 og tilknyttet som postdoc ved Syddansk Universitet, hvor hun forsker i netop den type tegneserier, vi her stiller skarpt på. Hun er i øvrigt aktuel med Supergirls of the Future: Girlhood and Agency in Contemporary Superhero Comics, baseret på hendes PhD.-afhandling. Vi kigger på, hvordan disse tegninger og serier udkrystalliserer traditionelt feminiserede, ulønnede arbejdsformer, der i stigende grad er aktuelle i samtiden såkaldte gig-økonomi. Vi diskuterer hvilke udfordringer disse ofte endog meget populære skabere møder i forhold til at leve af deres arbejde. Vi ser på de historiske rødder i tegneserier, satire og aktivistisk kunst. Sidst men ikke mindst forsøger vi at vurdere deres bidrag til tidens kulturelle og feministiske samtale. Herhjemme er @stinestregen og @linejensen_illu to af de mest gennemslagskraftige på området, men feltet er bredt og internationalt. Vi kigger nærmere på særligt to amerikanske skabere, @lianafinck og Mary Catherine Starr alias @momlifecomics, men vi kommer derudover vidt omkring, også til både Sverige og Finland.

Welcome to this week's episode of Bizzimumzi, hosted by the incredible Ashley Verma. Today, Ashley welcomes a remarkable guest, Mary Catherine Starr, the Founder of The Mom Life Comics. Mary's journey is nothing short of inspiring. She began her life's adventure growing up in the vibrant city of Atlanta, Georgia. After completing her education at a small liberal arts school in Kentucky, she found herself in the bustling heart of New York City, working in marketing as a recent college graduate. However, Mary's entrepreneurial spirit and creative soul yearned for something more. In 2009, Mary and her then-boyfriend, now-husband, Ben, relocated to Washington, DC, where she decided to make a bold move. She transitioned from a corporate desk job to become a yoga teacher, embracing her love for yoga, art, and blogging. It was during this time that she birthed her blog, Starr Struck, and ventured into the world of yoga studio management and Etsy, where she began crafting beautiful greeting cards. The year 2012 marked a significant milestone as Mary and Ben tied the knot and embarked on a new chapter, settling in Cape Cod, Ben's hometown. They soon started their family in 2016. Mary's journey continued to evolve as she launched a graphic design and consulting business, taught yoga at various studios, and even explored the world of podcasting. But it was in the digital realm of @momlife_comics on Instagram where Mary truly found her calling. Through Mom Life Comics, she candidly shares the challenges and joys of motherhood, marriage, and being a woman in today's world. While she had to face online trolls and endure their negativity, Mary's resilience shone through. She refused to be silenced and instead used her illustrations as a powerful means to connect with a supportive community. In this week's Bizzimumzi episode, Ashley and Mary dive deep into the intricacies of motherhood—the highs, the lows, and the journey of self-discovery that comes with creating your own business. Mary unveils the fascinating process behind each Mom Life Comic square and the profound impact it has had on her and her family. But that's not all—Mary shares her experience of dealing with online trolls and how she and her family decided to stand up and speak out against them. Through her art and her voice, Mary has cultivated a vibrant and supportive community that keeps the noisy trolls at bay. Join Ashley and Mary as they explore the beautiful chaos of daily life, the pursuit of balance, and the quest for joy amidst the adventures of motherhood. This episode is a testament to the strength of creative entrepreneurship and the power of using your voice to build something meaningful. Thank you for supporting the Bizzimumzi podcast.
