Women and Motherhood: Shifting the Narrative

Join TEDx speaker, feminist, optimist, and social changemaker Emily Monsell-Holden for a vital discussion on a topic that affects women, and men, across all career stages. "Are you planning to have kids?" is a question many women face, whether they’re in their early careers, navigating societal expectations in their 30s, or choosing a different path altogether. In this PepTalk, Emily explores how to shift the conversation around motherhood to be more inclusive, supportive, and empowering.
