Writing for @ctmagazine, @wngdotorg, @nytimes & @wsj. Writer. Mother. Freely Sober with @ivpress (available now!)

Bold, candid, and refreshingly unscripted, Mom Wars with Bethany Mandel and Kara Kennedy dives into the cultural clash of modern motherhood—where values, politics, and parenting collide. It’s not about Instagram-perfect families; it’s about the messy, meaningful choices real moms make while navigating a world that won’t stop arguing about them. With sharp humor and fearless honesty, Bethany and Kara pull apart the narratives shaping womanhood today and ask the questions most people tiptoe around—making each episode feel like catching up with friends who say out loud what everyone’s thinking.
