Description

Following the themes in her book, Wholistic Feminism: Healing the Identity Crisis Caused by the Women’s Movement, author Leah A. Jacobson, MA, IBCLC expands upon how a movement focused on whole woman wellness will bring fulfillment and purpose to today’s young women. The previous waves of the Feminist movement claimed to liberate women and bring them happiness, however, the millions of women who are burned out from trying to achieve an unrealistic and masculine standard of success, and “have it all,” prove that these messages were a lie. Leah speaks with compassion and conviction about how the women’s movement can and must shift to help today’s young women understand their true identities as females and how to make peace with their fertility, childbearing, and mothering abilities. She weaves her narrative of being a mother to seven children, a board-certified lactation consultant, a non-profit founder and CEO into her talks and helps young women see that they CAN be happy and whole as the women they were uniquely created to be.
