We are No Taboo Moms
Welcome to No Taboo Mom, a blog that identifies key issues women face today. We provide a safe space for real-life stories about womanhood, childbirth, motherhood, and postpartum experiences. Despite remarkable progress in women’s rights worldwide, many aspects of women’s physical and mental well-being remain ignored, overlooked, or downplayed.
At No Taboo Mom, we delve into the often misleading or sugar-coated information for mothers-to-be, examine the role of the healthcare system for women, challenge equal rights and gender roles, and openly discuss our positive and negative emotions.
Our mission is to end the era of half-truths with hidden agendas and present a realistic view of family life for both men and women. As Naomi Wolf eloquently states in her book “Misconception”: “(…) if we speak more honestly about the darkness as well as the light on our journey to motherhood, family life will be better understood and, therefore, better supported.”
It’s time to speak up and speak out. We are committed to creating a better, kinder, and more truthful world for our sons and daughters. Join No Taboo Mom, read, learn, and share your story with others. Your voice matters!
