Motherhood for Good with Kate Duffy
A podcast that helps you understand what the hell is going on, and who’s making the decisions that affect your life.
Ever feel like everyone else got a memo about how politics works and you missed it because you were packing lunches or doomscrolling? Same. Motherhood for Good with Kate Duffy helps make sense of the systems shaping our lives: Who’s pulling the levers, why it matters, and what we can actually do about it.
Through casual convoswith politicians, candidates, community organizers, content creators, and experts, Kate brings you the voices you’ve been wanting to hear from in a format that feels more like a chat with a friend than a lecture.
No yelling. No jargon. Just real talk about the stuff that affects us every day.
