I edited the acclaimed podcast “The Double Shift” from the launch of its second season in the fall of 2019 until it went on indefinite pause in early 2022. “The Double Shift” is a narrative show that challenges the status quo of motherhood in America.

I provided creative guidance and editorial oversight for the narrative-driven second season “The Revolution Begins at Home,” which explored how unconventional families and communities are key to supporting working mothers. I edited the third season which explores how the pandemic has shaped motherhood and why matriarchy is the solution we need. And I edited season four, which included reporting from a partnership between The Double Shift and The Guardian and a series around mental health and moms.
