If your loved one has been diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease, you might be feeling lost, confused, scared, and overwhelmed with concern. It’s a diagnosis no one wants to hear, but one that far too many families are impacted by year after year. In fact, according to Parkinsons.Org, about 10 million people worldwide are diagnosed with the disease each year. It’s estimated that about one million Americans have Parkinson’s disease today. That’s more than those who have muscular dystrophy, multiple sclerosis, and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (or ALS) combined. Those are staggering numbers. But what exactly is Parkinson’s Disease? How can we provide the care our loved one needs after a diagnosis? How can we care for ourselves? What can we expect in the years ahead? On today’s episode, it’s all about understanding Parkinson’s Disease. By the end of this episode, you should have a much clearer understanding of what your loved one is experiencing – and how you can prepare for what’s to come. Let’s start with the basics. With numbers as staggering as the ones previously mentioned, it might not be surprising to learn that Parkinson’s disease is the second most common age-related neurodegenerative disease in the world. The most common of these diseases is Alzheimer’s. To learn more about Alzheimer’s Disease, head to our episode page to listen to our many episodes about understanding Alzheimer’s and dementia. Because Parkinson’s tends to be age related, most people are diagnosed over the age of 50. However, it’s estimated that about 4% of Parkinson’s patients are diagnosed at a younger age. One famous example is Michael J. Fox, who was diagnosed with early onset Parkinson’s at the young age of 29. The cause of the disease is largely unknown, but the effects are clearer. When a person has Parkinson’s, the brain cells that produce dopamine become impaired or die. Because dopamine controls movement, when these neurons are no longer functioning, movement is drastically impaired. It is unclear what exactly causes these neurons to misfunction or die. In addition to dopamine, the nerve endings in a Parkinson’s patient’s brain that produce norepinephrine are lost. Norepinephrine sends chemical messages through the sympathetic nervous system, which controls heart rate, blood pressure, and other automatic body functions. Scientists believe that this is why Parkinson’s patients often suffer from irregular blood pressure, slow movement of food through the digestive tract, and fatigue. Many people with Parkinson’s also have Lewy bodies in their brain cells – which are clumps of abnormal proteins inside neurons. Lewy bodies most often form in the parts of the brain that control memory and movement. This is why many people with Parkinson’s also suffer from Lewy body dementia. To learn more about that condition, listen to our episode on understanding Lewy body dementia. While it’s unclear what exactly causes Parkinson’s, some cases appear to be hereditary, while others have been linked to genetic mutations. In most cases, though, the diagnosis appears to be random. Researchers do believe that the disease might be caused by environmental factors – such as exposure to toxins or head injury – but not enough consistent evidence has occurred to pinpoint a straightforward cause. We can only hope that over time scientists will gain a better understanding of why the disease occurs in the first place. Parkinson’s disease varies widely from person to person. That means that while some symptoms are more frequent or expected, there’s no way to predict what specific symptoms one person might experience or when they might experience them. Parkinson’s disease is diagnosed clinically – which means that the disease cannot show up on brain scans or through blood tests. Instead, a diagnosis is based on a Doctor’s examination of a person’s medical history and evaluation of symptoms.  If you’re worried that you or a loved one might have Parkinson’s Disease, but have not yet received an official diagnosis, you might want to see a movement disorder specialist. Movement disorder specialists are neurologists who specialize in Parkinson’s disease among other movement disorders. These doctors will be able to carefully assess the patient and symptoms, and make a diagnosis based off of his or her specialized expertise. So, what exactly are the symptoms of Parkinson’s disease? Again, the symptoms do vary from person to person, in terms of both the severity and the types of symptoms. Still, there are three movement symptoms that are particularly common, especially in the early stages of the disease. These three symptoms include stiffness, slowness of movement, and a resting tremor. It is possible for a person to just have one of these symptoms or have all three. Even if you or your loved one is experiencing only one of these symptoms, it’s well worth your time to schedule an appointment with a doctor. The tremor will look like a slight shaking of the hand, finger, thumb, or chin. Commonly, the tremor will occur during rest in the early stages of the disease. It is sometimes called the “rolling pill” tremor, because if a person rests a pill in their open palm and it rolls, the hand may be experiencing a tremor. Other common early signs are more subtle. Small handwriting is one of these. If a person’s writing has gotten smaller or the words are crowded together, this could indicate Parkinson’s disease. Loss of smell is another early symptom. Have your loved one try to smell certain foods – like bananas or licorice and ask them if they are able to smell them clearly. If not, this could mean that they are suffering from Parkinson’s disease, and you should get them to the doctor for examination.  In addition to smell, voice can be affected early on in the disease. If a person is speaking much more quietly than usual, to the point where they sound hoarse or like they are whispering, this could be a sign of Parkinson’s. Other common early symptoms include restless sleeping, depression, constipation, stooping over, or dizziness. You might also notice that your loved one has what’s called a “masked face.” If your loved one has a constant angry or serious expression on their face, they might have Parkinson’s disease. Parkinson’s can be misdiagnosed in the early stages – especially for patients who are not suffering from tremors or muscle stiffness. Some of the other symptoms can be misconstrued as normal parts of ageing. If you feel that your loved one might have Parkinson’s, but they weren’t diagnosed, have them see a specialist for a second opinion. There are five common stages of Parkinson’s – although, again, not everyone goes through this disease in the same way. The following five stages are the most typical patterns of progression as observed by doctors and scientists. In the first stage, a person has mild symptoms, such as a tremor or changes in posture or facial expressions. These symptoms won’t usually interfere with daily life. Typically, a person in the first stage will only notice tremors or movement difficulties on one side of the body. Within three to seven years of diagnosis, most patients will notice moderate changes to these early symptoms. This means that they have officially entered stage two. Stage two of the disease, or the moderate stage, tremors and movement difficulties increase in severity. While in stage one, zipping a jacket might have been somewhat difficult, it might now take a significant amount of time to do. A person’s posture might start to slump or droop more severely in this stage, and a person might find that their tremors and muscle stiffness have moved to both sides of the body. A person in the moderate stage of Parkinson’s can usually still care for themselves but will take significantly more time to accomplish simple tasks. Some patients at this stage might request more help with daily activities. Stage three, the middle stage of Parkinson’s, is the big turning point for most patients. Reflexes will decrease as will balance. A risk of falling is increased, between a patient’s struggles with balance, walking, and posture. Patients at this stage will likely need a wheelchair to get around. A patient at stage 3 is able to maintain independence – although they will take longer to eat and get dressed and might desire a little extra help to get things done around the house and run errands. In stage four, a person can no longer be independent. While a person can stand from a chair without extra help, they won’t be able to walk from the chair to their bed or wheelchair on their own. A patient in stage four will need help to eat, dress, bathe, and move around the house. A person in stage five of Parkinson’s will require around the clock care. Advanced leg stiffness will make it impossible to stand or walk – and a person will require a wheelchair. If a Parkinson’s patient is also suffering from Lewy body dementia, then they might be experiencing increased hallucinations or delusions by this stage. Not everyone with Parkinson’s makes it to stage five of the disease. While Parkinson’s disease is certainly severe, and complications from the disease are the 14th cause of death in the United States, a person with Parkinson’s can live well with the disease. Michael J. Fox is proof that people can maintain a high quality of life after diagnosis. The disease is a progressive one, but the level of progression varies from person to person – and there are some steps a patient can take to slow the progression. Have your loved one work with their doctor to establish a treatment plan. A combination of therapies and prescription medications can help a person with Parkinson’s maintain a high quality of life. Doctors will likely prescribe dopaminergic medications, to help with the impaired dopamine neurons in the brain. While medications cannot cure the disease, they can improve symptoms to make daily living a little easier. In addition to medications, patients should get plenty of exercise. In the early stages, it’s important to get those stiff muscles moving – so activities like biking, running, tai chi, yoga, and dance are all recommended. Exercise will help a person to maintain their balance, mobility, and activities of daily living. Exercise will also improve many symptoms. According to Parkinson’s.org, “people with PD who start exercising earlier and a minimum of 2.5 hours a week, experience a slowed decline in quality of life compared to those who start later. Establishing early exercise habits is essential to overall disease management.” Of course, exercise will come with its own set of challenges for Parkinson’s patients. Balance issues, trembles, muscle stiffness, and endurance can all pose challenges to exercising – but there are plenty of ways to exercise safely. All Parkinson’s patients should consult their doctors before starting a new form of exercise and should ask for a list of recommended exercises based on their symptoms. Physical therapists will help patients with safe, specialized exercises meant to improve symptoms. Physical therapists will often recommend a routine exercise regimen that includes aerobics and resistance training. There are also community classes in most cities meant for people living with Parkinson’s disease. These classes cover everything from dance to boxing and are catered toward improving symptoms and slowing progression in patients. There are surgical options for patients with Parkinson’s disease. Deep brain stimulation, or DBS, is one surgical therapy that many patients can benefit from. The surgery works by implanting an electrode into the affected area in the brain. The electrodes are then stimulated with a device located under the skin in the chest. This allows brain to control movement at a “normal” level. DBS is not a cure for Parkinson’s, and it does not help with non-motor symptoms such as depression, loss of smell, or constipation. Before considering this surgery, be sure to get an evaluation from a movement disorder specialist. DBS is not the best choice for all patients, but a specialist will you’re your loved one determine if it’s the best choice for them. Patients with Parkinson’s can also assemble a care team of specialists – from home nurses to occupational therapists and neurologists – to help with treatment. The more organized and structured a person’s care plan is, the better. When considering the type of care a person with Parkinson’s needs, it’s important to think about where they will be living. From assisted living to at home care and everything in between, there are plenty of living options to consider with your loved one. To learn more about the best living options for your loved one, check out our episode on choosing the right type of care for seniors. Because depression is a common symptom in patients with Parkinson’s, it’s important to make sure your loved one is mentally stimulated. It’s estimated that 50% of patients with Parkinson’s suffer from depression, while 40% face anxiety. According to Parkinsons.org, “The Parkinson’s Foundation Parkinson’s Outcomes Project found that taken together, mood, depression, and anxiety have the greatest impact on health status, even more than the motor impairments commonly associated with the disease.” Depression in Parkinson’s is a direct result of changes in brain chemistry, as the parts of the brain that control mood, energy, motivation, and sleep are impacted by Parkinson’s. Social isolation can make the depression even more severe, so make sure your loved one is engaged in social activities – from visits with the grandkids to clubs and organizations. Make sure that your loved one has something to look forward to – whether trips to the movies or the park, visits, or a nice dinner. Having something to look forward to can help enhance a person’s quality of life and give them something positive to think about. According to Parkinson’s.org, “the best approach” for treating depression, “is a combination of antidepressant medication, counseling, exercise, and social support.” A counselor can provide essential support and can recommend coping skills to help with positive thinking. There are therapists and counselors who specialize in Parkinson’s Disease. Additionally, plenty of support groups exist within the Parkinson’s community. Introducing your loved one to people going through similar difficulties can help them to feel less alone in their struggle. Caring for a person with Parkinson’s also means caring for their home. Make sure that there’s nothing at the home a person can easily trip over – like throw rugs, electric cords, or slippery floors. Clear pathways, place mats in bathtubs and showers, and arrange furniture so it’s not blocking any walkways. If you want to provide additional support for your loved one, you can help them by volunteering to exercise with them, which will keep them motivated to exercise while allowing them a great opportunity for socialization, and something to look forward to. Getting your loved one out of the house as often as possible is key to their happiness, also. It’s isolating to be alone in the house all the time – so any excuse to get out will be welcomed, as long as the person is feeling up to it. While this is more difficult during the pandemic, consider taking your loved one on a walk to the park, or to an outdoor movie. You can also set up a projector in the backyard so your loved one can be outside, engaged in something fun, and comfortable. Finally, it’s important to be patient with your loved one. Don’t rush your loved one through getting dressed, standing up, or eating dinner. Remember – they are going as fast as they can and rushing them will only make them feel more frustrated. I know that this disease can be endlessly frustrating and disheartening for family members – so make sure you have an outlet to express yourself, that’s not the person suffering. Go to friends, family, a therapist to vent frustrations, so you’re in a better state of mind to be patient with your loved one the next time you see them. A Parkinson’s diagnosis is never easy – but with the right knowledge, preparation, and treatment plan, you can know what to expect and make the journey as positive as possible for you and your loved one.

Sisters Wanda Faye Shelton (left) and Rachel Barbre (right) hold a photograph of their mother who passed away at 97. DAVID FORD/WFDD This reporting project is a collaboration between WFDD, Carolina Data Desk at The UNC School of Media and Journalism and Wake Forest University's Journalism Program. It was made possible through funding from the Knight Foundation. For the past 22 years, Wanda Faye Shelton has called this modest 3-bedroom bungalow home. On a rainy morning in March, the 72-year-old widow is packing up boxes filled with four generations of belongings, and making tough choices on what stays and what goes.  Shelton says she receives a little more than $700 in Social Security benefits each month, but $300 of that went to rent and left her with about $14 a day to pay for her other expenses.  “I can’t — I just couldn’t pay all the bills,” says Shelton. “I didn’t get enough to pay the rent and the lights and the water.” Shelton doesn’t want to leave this place. Her landlord is evicting her. She’s not alone. Winston-Salem and Greensboro have among the highest eviction rates in the country. For people like Shelton, the math is simple and unforgiving. Sluggish wage growth and rising rents mean you can be just one car repair, utility bill, or health crisis away from losing your home. Since 2014 in the Triad, more than 100,000 eviction cases have been brought against people just like her — renters on the thin line between being sheltered and homeless.  A Home For Generations Gone For decades, Shelton shared the monthly rent with her mom and one sister. They’ve both since passed away, leaving Shelton to stretch her fixed income to pay rent, and care for her teenage granddaughter, Jamie. Even with help from her part-time job at McDonald’s, the numbers just don’t add up. Shelton tires easily after recovering from a recent outbreak of shingles. She can only pack for short spurts before needing to rest. She slowly scans the cluttered room illuminated by a bare light bulb dangling from the ceiling at the end of a bright orange extension cord: half-filled boxes, stacks of papers, a few photos and paintings hang on the dark pinewood walls. ”I’ve never gotten an eviction notice — never,” she says. “And I’ve never been in a situation where I really don’t have a home. I don’t have a place to live.” For all of the money that her family has paid in rent during the past 42 years, they could have bought this house several times over. Now she’s out and has no claim on it. For Shelton, this is personal, and she’s losing trust in people.  “They Just Don’t Have The Cushion”  The reality is — when it comes to eviction court — all parties lose something. For landlords, this is income. It’s money spent changing over a vacated unit. It’s also money lost when renters stop paying and while the apartment remains empty. That of course gets resolved with a new tenant. But for renters, often the working poor, eviction can be the beginning of a long downward spiral.  Families in low-income communities often struggle just to pay their daily bills, says former North Carolina Housing Coalition Executive Director and current Durham County District Attorney Satana Deberry. “So, they tend to kind of fall behind on rent, any kind of issues they might have with their car, if they have a family member who has to be bailed out of jail, and who has other financial issues,” she says. “They just don’t have the cushion to both pay their rent and deal with the kinds of things that come up every day.” Eviction 101 But for all the stress evictions cause, the process itself is strangely mechanical.  First, the landlord goes to the county clerk of court’s office. There, he fills out a request to eject the tenant. Almost always, the reason is simple: the tenant is short or late on rent.  Charles Spenser (left) and Richard Zucarro (right) were evicted from this rental home. Zucarro describes the hearing as "pretty cut and dry." DAVID FORD/WFDD The landlord comes to court two weeks later. He needs the blessing of a magistrate to evict his tenant.  At 9 o’clock every morning, tenants and landlords file into a nondescript waiting area. Anywhere between a handful to dozens of people sit in chairs lined against walls. A magistrate calls out names, one case at a time, and quickly swears them in.  The questions come rapid fire: Do you have a lease? What does your lease say about rent being due and notice to evict? With office doors left wide open, deeply personal, life-changing discussions are on public display. Renters don’t have to come to court. In fact, coming to the hearing — just like answering the sheriff’s knock to deliver the court papers — carries an unusual risk. The tenant is on the hook for the payment and his credit takes a hit. Skipping court and not answering the sheriff’s knock? The magistrate can’t order a monetary judgment against you.  Once in eviction court, the matter is typically resolved in a matter of minutes. Usually, the tenant doesn’t show up. But when she does, things can quickly get expensive.  East Winston tenant Arkba Hurst (right) says a sheriff's deputy served him an eviction notice as he was getting ready to go to work. DAVID FORD/WFDD About a third of the time, the cases are dismissed. Often, it’s because the tenant and landlord reach an agreement and the case gets tossed the same day of the hearing. Other times, the tenant brings proof she already settled her debt.  Whatever the judgment is, both the tenant and landlord have 10 days to appeal. Then the landlord can go back to the clerk's office and ask the sheriff's office to assist while he changes the locks. That final knock from the deputy comes about 10 days later. Instructions are simple: grab a few necessities like medicine, a change of clothes, and get out. Tenants can arrange to come back for their belongings at a time that's convenient for the landlord.  For those evicted, the stakes are high and the impacts are felt immediately.  Nearly 90 percent of the time, the tenants lose. Some pack up the moment the sheriff tacks the notice on the door. Many leave before the hearing takes place. Others settle up and find a way to stay, even after the landlord wins in court. And still others linger until the sheriff makes that final knock on the door. "Almost Impossible" On Wanda Faye Shelton’s day in eviction court, she appears even smaller than her barely five-foot frame. Her imposing son, Bobby Lucas, sits beside her, whispering in her ear, translating what he can of the unfamiliar process. He says the experience was unsettling. “Just how many people there were — it was just heart-wrenching,” says Lucas. “There were 24 people being evicted just from that company that day.” Lucas and his mom didn’t come here to win. They knew the rent was too steep for her to manage. They came with one simple request: a few extra days to pack up a house and basement filled over decades. “They said they would give us until the end of the month but after that couldn’t guarantee anything unless we pay a month’s rent,” he says. Wanda Faye Shelton’s son, Bobby Lucas, will store most of their possessions in the building behind his trailer home. He says the move has been hard on his family. DAVID FORD/WFDD   That day in court will follow Shelton for years. Because she showed up, she’s now responsible for unpaid rent, and court costs. The demand letter came in the mail just a few days later: a debt of nearly $1,400. “You should take this seriously, as a summary ejectment will stay on your record for 10 years and could make it difficult for you to obtain credit in the future,” the letter states. And her name is now marked in another way, too. It’s a bright red flag for landlords. She was a tenant who didn’t pay her rent.   Meanwhile, in the Triad, the rental market is booming. At the Vista Realty home office in Winston-Salem, President Heather Coleman manages 1,000 apartment homes. Business people like her know that after a month or two of unpaid rent, the chances of recovering that money are slim. They have to cut their losses quickly.  Coleman credits much of the company’s longevity and success to careful background checks. Even with that discretion though, a Carolina Data Desk analysis of court data shows the company brings an average of nearly 600 eviction cases every year — among the highest rates for a property management company in Forsyth County. “The best thing to know about someone is their history,” she says. Today, Coleman contracts a third-party software company to run detailed screenings on all of her tenant applicants.  “So, we look at the last couple years to kind of see what their history is, especially if they owe any apartment or housing community,” says Coleman. “They’re automatically denied, to be honest, if they do. Again, it becomes a pattern: if someone has skipped out before, they probably will skip out again.” There are exceptions — if they can demonstrate an ongoing legal dispute for example, or prove that that they’re paying off their balance. For Wanda Faye Shelton, that’s out of the question. It's the same story for the thousands of renters like her. Greensboro Housing Coalition Executive Director Brett Byerly sees daily how the stain of eviction lingers. For his clients, the rental options are limited, and they’re not good: broken windows, mold, crime. Byerly says a routine computer search for an affordable unit might show 40 hits. But once filtered for landlords who don’t screen for evictions, the numbers dwindle down to just two or three. Byerly adds that the people he sees most often are single mothers. “In the same way that a young man gets locked up for some kind of minor drug charge, what we’re seeing is that young women are getting pushed out in the same way that these young men are getting pushed out,” says Byerly. “Because now I have an eviction and nobody in the world wants to talk to me.” Byerly says it’s a cycle that’s becoming increasingly difficult to break. “It was easier when the vacancy rates were 8 to 10 percent for people with evictions and things on their background to be able to still access some sort of decent housing,” he says. “It’s almost impossible for someone in this market that we’re in with the vacancy rates being what they are to access anything decent — or maybe to access anything at all.” “Very Scary”  Shelton hoped to get into a public housing unit, but there are no spots available. She’s on the waitlist. Housing Authorities in Forsyth and Guilford Counties simply don’t have the resources to meet the current demand, and wait times run between three and seven years. For now, with nowhere else to go, Shelton will share a trailer home with her other sister. Wanda Faye Shelton scans her living room, overflowing with four generations of belongings, trying to decide what stays and what goes. She says in moments like these she feels overwhelmed. DAVID FORD/WFDD   “My granddaughter and I are going to have to stay with her a little while and maybe go stay with my daughter...we’re just going to have to bounce around until we can get something,” says Shelton. When asked if the future scares her, she nods. “Yes, very...very scary,” she says. Shelton’s sister Rachel Barbre, who is herself battling bone cancer, is helping as much as she can with the move, steadying the ship and reminiscing about their mother's final days in this house. “We have our memories of her being here,” says Barbre. “She wanted her family like a glove fitting tight. And we tried to do that.” And so it was for the children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren who visited this place. As they load the last boxes, both sisters take small comfort in those memories. “I worry about Faye, but the hurt is here too in my heart — in my life because this is home,” she says. “But it won’t be home anymore.” And for Wanda Faye Shelton, she doesn’t know what the future holds. But she knows it won’t be easy. The very safety net programs like Social Security and government housing assistance set up to allow seniors like Shelton to live out their lives with dignity aren’t enough. All she’s left with now is another bill she’ll be unable to pay.  NOTE: Music composed and recorded by 1970s Film Stock.

Affordable and stable housing has long been a precarious and stressful pursuit for many Americans. Housing costs across the country have risen, and evictions are becoming much more commonplace than in past years. In 2016, American property owners filed at least 2.3 million eviction claims. Princeton’s Eviction Lab, which recently released the nation’s largest eviction database, revealed that the Southern region is the area of the country’s most impacted by evictions and that Black renters are disproportionate the victims of the eviction crisis. Eviction Lab’s report revealed that nine of the 10 cities with the highest eviction rates are not only located in southern states but are also cities that are at least 30 percent black in population. This week we chat with Atlanta-based journalist Max Blau about why southern renters are losing their homes at such high rates, and we examine some of the social and political obstacles standing in the way of safe, stable and affordable housing for many African Americans.

This is the story of two Brooklyn women, Rachael Ellison and Leslie Ali Walker, who have a tech idea to help harried working mothers rise up in their professional ranks.  Why? Because of numbers like these: 4.6 percent of S&P 500 companies have female CEOs  43 percent of highly-skilled women with children leave their jobs voluntarily at some point in their careers The U.S. is the only developing country that doesn't mandate paid maternity leave. The Family Medical Leave Act gives workers a maximum of 12 weeks off unpaid per year Almost 70 percent of mothers and over 90 percent of fathers are in the workforce Caregiving is projected to be the largest occupation in the U.S. by 2020 Only 7 percent of U.S. startups that received at least $20 million in funding have founders who are women  And mothers often find themselves doing the heavy lifting at home. Enter Rachael and Leslie, who team up to create Need/Done, a digital platform with a feminist mission to help more women make it to the corner office. How does it work? Through a crowdsourced community of parents, the service provides backup childcare and household support. Think: Nextdoor meets Sittercity. Start their story here, with Episode 1: The Pain Point. Rachael and Leslie leave their families behind in a snowstorm to visit Silicon Valley, meet the competition, and find out whether two Brooklyn moms have a shot at VC funding. We also talk to Anne-Marie Slaughter, author of The Atlantic article "Why Women Still Can’t Have it All" and the book "Unfinished Business," about why there's still resistance to gender parity at the top of many corporations.  When this series originally aired, we created a list of stellar content (books, podcasts, etc.) to help anyone trying to stay sane as a working parent. Check it out. And keep the conversation going, we love to hear from you, always.  P.S. We hope you keep listening... Find the rest of the series here: Episode 2: The Paradox. Episode 3: The Pressure Episode 4: The Partnership

Fair Trade certification is one approach to improving the lives of farmers, particularly coffee producers. Hosts Seth Daire and JJ Janflone discuss what fair trade means and how it doesn't really address the needs of the farmworkers who harvest the coffee. Though the certification prohibits forced labor, no evidence has been presented that shows fair trade certifiers actively inspect or prevent conditions of slavery on farms. Fair trade has improved its focus on workers over the last few years, but consumers need to be aware that the problems of wages and forced labor can’t be solved with a label.

Welcome to a very special month of Note to Self. For the next four weeks, we're telling the story of two Brooklyn women, Rachael Ellison and Leslie Ali Walker, who have an idea (a tech idea) to help harried working mothers who still want to rise up in their professional ranks. Why? Because of numbers like these: 4.6 percent of S&P 500 companies have female CEOs  43 percent of highly-skilled women with children leave their jobs voluntarily at some point in their careers The U.S. is the only developing country that doesn't mandate paid maternity leave. The Family Medical Leave Act gives workers a maximum of 12 weeks off unpaid per year Almost 70 percent of mothers and over 90 percent of fathers are in the workforce Caregiving is projected to be the largest occupation in the U.S. by 2020 Only 7 percent of U.S. startups that received at least $20 million in funding have founders who are women  Being a working parent can take its toll. Between school lunches, conference calls, soccer practices, quarterly reviews, sleepovers, and PowerPoint presentations, many of you told us that maintaining your sanity, succeeding professionally, and being a present parent feels nearly impossible. Here's what some of you said: I am a freelancer and because of that don't have paid maternity leave. Thanks, America. We ended up in this situation where I could only really take the day I gave birth off. - Amy   I am a full time high school English teacher and I have two young sons. Last year, my younger son was sick. He had some sort of fever so he couldn't go into preschool, and my husband had a meeting at work so he couldn't take him in, and I couldn't get a sub on short notice. So he came into school with me. And everything worked fine for a little while and suddenly I heard "mommy" said in the tone that all moms know is not a good sign. And it was followed by the sound of my poor child vomiting everywhere.  - Serena   I was schlepping a breast pump into an old bathroom of a building I used to work in that was not remotely accommodated for nursing moms. And I had an extension cord coming out of the bathroom into the stall with my laptop while I was on a conference call and pumping and staying on mute and sending out an evite for a girls night reunion at my house. - Rebecca   My daughter was about three or four and she was sick and had to stay home from school, but I didn't have anyone to stay with her. So I took her to work with me. I was working in an office with cubicles, so I sort of stuffed her under my desk at the bottom of the cubicle where a couple of pairs of shoes and a lot of wires and my hard-drive were, and I kept her under the desk for the whole day. - Julia   Even though we live in progressive times, some mothers still find themselves doing the heavy lifting at home. Enter Rachael and Leslie, who team up to create Need/Done, a service they think will help working mothers conquer their to-do list and concentrate on their professional ambitions. Think of it as the working mom's command center. This week, Rachael and Leslie leave their families behind in a snowstorm to visit Silicon Valley, meet the competition, and find out whether two Brooklyn moms have a shot at VC funding. We also talk to Anne-Marie Slaughter, author of The Atlantic article "Why Women Still Can't Have it All" and the book "Unfinished Business," about why there's still resistance to gender parity at the top of many corporations.  As part of this series, we're creating a list of stellar content (books, podcasts, etc.) to help anyone trying to stay sane as a working parent. To kick things off, Manoush started a list of things that she's heard and read that have stuck with her. And we want to grow that list by hearing from you, so please share your resources for work/life balance with us in the comments section or by emailing notetoself@wnyc.org.  For more Note to Self, subscribe on iTunes, Stitcher, TuneIn, I Heart Radio, Overcast,Pocket Casts, or anywhere else using our RSS feed.
