Summary

In this episode, we talk with Vicki Shabo about what it means to build a more inclusive, care-centered economy. One that actually supports families and reflects real lives. A leading voice on paid leave and workplace equity, Vicki serves as Senior Fellow for Gender Equity, Paid Leave & Care Policy and Strategy at New America's Better Life Lab. She also leads Re-Scripting Gender, Work, Family, and Care, an initiative focused on changing the way caregiving and gender show up in entertainment media. Vicki shares insights from her policy work, stories from the front lines of advocacy, and how narrative change in Hollywood can help reshape what's possible in workplaces and beyond.
