Ruthie Ackerman: 我认为真正能提高生育率的是,如果女性相信我们生活在一个关心我们自我实现的社会里。如果女性相信她们可以兼顾母亲的角色和追求梦想,可以同时拥有事业和家庭,并且有完善的支持系统和政策来帮助她们照顾孩子,那么她们会更愿意生育。我认为重要的不是提供生育奖金或奖励,而是真正地投资于平等,并相信女性有权在婚姻和母亲身份之外拥有美好的生活。 Jean Chatzky: 我非常赞同Ruthie的观点,没有什么比儿童保育政策更能推动生育率的提升。在美国,儿童保育问题是一个巨大的挑战,如果能够解决这个问题,我相信会有更多的女性愿意生育。

Shownotes Transcript

Motherhood is personal and more than a little bit complicated. And today, we’re diving deep into the emotional and financial complexities of modern motherhood with journalist and author of The Mother Code: My Story of Love, Loss, and the Myths That Shape Us), Ruthie Ackerman. Ruthie’s journey includes freezing her eggs in her 30s, navigating a divorce, and ultimately becoming a mother at 43 through donor eggs.

But her story is about much more than biology—it’s about breaking timelines, challenging societal expectations, and rewriting what it means to live a full, intentional life…with or without children.
