Elissa Strauss is a writer who covers culture, gender and care. She is the author of When You Care: The Unexpected Magic of Caring for Others. Her work appears in places like the Atlantic, CNN, Slate and the New York Times. She lives with her family in Oakland, CA.
In this episode, we’re joined by Elissa Strauss, who dives into the often-overlooked importance of care work. She explores how care has been historically devalued and argues for a cultural shift that places care at the center of our values, both in policy and in practice. We discuss the complexities of balancing care work with societal expectations, especially as mothers, and the need to involve men in caregiving roles. Elissa touches on the ethical challenges parents face today, the deep interdependence between people, and how embracing care can reshape empathy and our relationships. Join us as we unpack the power and significance of care work in shaping healthier, more equitable societies.
