Care & Feeding: Why I’m Choosing Single Motherhood

On this episode: Jamilah sits down with author Ruby Russell to talk
about her new book, Doing It All: The Social Power of Single
Motherhood. They talk about the ways that single mothers upend the
patriarchy — and why that’s a good thing. Lucy, Elizabeth, and Zak
also circle up for a round of triumphs and fails — including an
epic saga involving a hospital in the Philippines. Join us on
