Why is childcare so expensive, so unreliable, and so difficult to find? Childcare isn’t just a family issue, it’s an economic crisis. The rising cost, limited availability, and lack of societal support for working parents are forcing many women to make impossible choices between their careers and their families. 👩👧
Paige Connell, a working mom of four and content creator, is here to expose the cracks in the childcare system and how they disproportionately hold women back in their careers and financial growth.
The rising cost of childcare is outpacing housing and grocery prices, forcing many women to scale back or leave the workforce altogether. Paige shares why this is a systemic issue, not just a personal problem, and what needs to change for families to truly thrive.
We discuss the harsh realities of the childcare crisis:
📌 Why childcare costs more than rent or a mortgage in most states
📌 The hidden ways childcare struggles push women out of the workforce
📌 How society still treats childcare as a “mom’s problem” instead of a family issue
📌 Why summer camps, before-and-after school care, and school closures create an endless cycle of stress
📌 How single and divorced moms face even greater challenges with childcare costs and scheduling
📌 What women can do to advocate for better solutions at home and in policy
If you’ve ever felt like you’re drowning in the logistics and cost of childcare, you’re not alone. Paige is leading important conversations on equity in parenting, careers, and financial independence.
