Why Am I Afraid To Advocate For Women?
Fear, Feminism, and Finding Our Voices Again
In the Season 2 premiere of Mommy Has Questions, the moms dive into the uncomfortable truth about advocating for women in today’s culture: why does it feel so hard to speak up for what we believe in?
From shifting political climates and online backlash to the way language itself has become weaponized, Cristina and the moms unpack how fear and discomfort have crept into conversations about feminism, motherhood, and equality. What happens when even talking about women’s rights feels unsafe?
With humor, honesty, and vulnerability, the conversation explores how we reclaim our voices — and why motherhood might be the key to a collective awakening.
Cristina and the moms remind us: discomfort isn’t danger. It’s the beginning of change.

The difference between fear and discomfort — and why it matters
