The Double Shift

This year, The Double Shift will focus on IRL community building with a new initiative for 2025 called The How to Find Your People Club. Club members will get years-early access to some of the groundbreaking ideas and tools I’m developing for my book, which will be published by Penguin Random House in 2027. One of the benefits of club membership is audio newsletters, where I read my newsletter so you can listen on the go. Over the next year, this newsletter will feature public posts on topics like the difference between community and friendship, how to break free of gendered time constraints, wildly unexpected places to find meaningful connection, overcoming anxiety around social settings, and how important dinner parties are for foraging relationships (and how to throw one without getting overwhelmed) This feed will be occasionally updated, but for regular audio content, Come join the club over on substack for a private, members-only feed! Join us! https://thedoubleshift.substack.com/. The Double Shift from 2019-2022 was a narrative show to challenge the status quo of motherhood in America. Please enjoy our free archive of over 35 episodes. thedoubleshift.substack.com

Hope for only a short pause
02/14/2022
It’s heart breaking to hear such a great podcast not being able to continue its meaningful work because it isn’t sustainable. While shows much lousier and meaningless get to keep producing. I can only hope this is a beginning for more in depth conversations on how we need to fight for societies that enable women to succeed at work without being demanded to prioritize home demands like childcare. I am one who will make sure her sons will one day be men who not only support but ensure equity result in their work whatever they may be.
Perspective

This podcast is incredible! How wrong were those first potential investors that passed on Katherine Goldstein when she pitched it to them. THANK YOU Katherine for following through, going with your gut and bringing this out to the world. Having a second baby has been quite a rough adjustment but when listening to this, it gives me so much perspective and I not only realize I have it pretty good but that I’m not the only one struggling some days 🙌🏻💕 moms and parents- share!
Amazing

This is the best podcast in the world. I can’t stop listening too it. It is music to my ears.
Love their honest take on motherhood and work
05/16/2021
No matter how you try, you can’t do it alone and this podcast lets you know you’re not crazy for feeling like that. Women and caregivers get the short end of the stick, and we need to value their (our) work. Katherine and Angela are open and honest on what’s broken in the system, and how that affects them personally. Can’t wait for each episode!
My Hands-down Favorite Podcast
05/02/2021
The work the Double Shift is doing is so valuable - from the beginning they have worked to share stories of parenthood in all its forms. I listen because it reflects a reality that I need to know exists, it helps keep hope alive.
Moms, subscribe ASAP

I found this podcast as a first-time, WFH mom to a 2020 baby; I can’t imagine what returning to work would have been like without Katherine’s voice in the background and echoing through my head. Excellent interviews with women all along the journey of motherhood. These conversations lend hope to the future state of working parents and our children.
Great Show

Love it!

Awesome show with great reporting and in depth interviews that really open my mind to the variety of mothering experiences.
Thoughtful and visionary perspective
04/22/2021
Love how this podcast exposes me to a wide variety of women and their experiences and the thoughtful examination of issues that affect women who are parents. The hosts, Angela and Katherine, provide superb commentary and make the stories flow.
Skip the politics, go back to stories of mothers
11/29/2020
I loved the first season because it was stories of mothers and their struggles and situations. I felt connected to them just hearing their stories. This season has devolved into “woe is motherhood” and political stances. Disappointing. I didn’t subscribe to hear yet another political podcast, yet here we are. Story telling and research are good, and hosts are engaging. If they return to the format and mission of the first season, I’ll start listening again.
