The New York Times calls it “Brazenly hopeful … a revolutionary fable, ideal for this moment.” De Robertis and host Kate Raphael have a deep discussion about queerness in Uruguay and immigrant communities, and how the terror of a military dictatorship affects people's lives on a daily, granular level.

Marika Lindholm is one of the editors of a new anthology “We Got This: Solo Mom Stories of Grit, Heart, and Humor." The book chronicles the journeys of more than 75 solo moms from a variety of diverse backgrounds: some are single parents by choice, some by circumstance, some gay, some widowed...you get the picture. It even includes a story from Amy Poehler! Katie interviews Marika about the ways that it's both easier AND just as hard to be a single mom today than in prior generations, how people who are single parents by choice face their own unique set of challenges and stigmas, and ways that we as a society can help support solo moms - interpersonally AND via public policy.  Marika is the founder of an online community for solo moms called ESME.com - Empowering Solo Moms Everywhere. Most recently, she wrote about the psychological challenges faced by solo mothers in Ms. Magazine, in a piece called Moms Need Wide-Ranging Mental Health Care.  An excerpt from the piece demonstrates the topics Marika touches upon on Femtastic Podcast: "Until we acknowledge and grapple with the significant social challenges to maternal mental health, moms will continue to suffer higher rates of depression, anxiety, exhaustion and PTSD than the general public. We must ensure that mothers get the support they need to understand the structures that make motherhood so psychologically disempowering. Maybe then we will find the strength and will to fight for a society that frees mothers from socially harmful behavior, judgments, and expectations that keep our families from thriving."

The mastermind behind the community ESME (Empowering Solo Moms Everywhere) has gathered stories from more than 75 solo moms for the We Got This: Solo Mom Stories of Grit, Heart, and Humor” (She Writes Press, September 10, 2019). She has diligently worked to break the stigmas surrounding solo moms and build a community full of resources and unity.
