Why Feminine Labor Still Isn’t Valued — and How We Change That

The Feminine Work No One Measures

We talked about the roles mothers and caregivers play — teacher, therapist, nutritionist, mediator, nurse, emotional anchor, intuition-holder, the one who senses everything.

If this work were paid by the hour, a stay-at-home mother would earn more than many CEOs.
But instead, most earn nothing.

And beyond the money, we discussed the deeper wound:

Women give endlessly, yet rarely feel supported.
Rarely feel seen.
Rarely feel valued.

Especially mothers who also carry their own healing, their own trauma, and their own emotional integration.

The World Rewards Productivity — Not Presence

Both of us have lived this tension:

• wanting to raise our children with attention, presence, and love

• while also trying to “prove” our worth through work

• while having little support, little time, and little validation

• while carrying the emotional load for everyone in the house

Society tells women to be everything —
but offers nothing in return.

And yet, the work of the feminine is the foundation of everything.

Rewriting Worth From the Inside Out

We talked about nervous system co-regulation
and how, when a woman reconnects to her body,
her intuition,
her boundaries,
her feminine truth…

everything changes.

Her children feel it.
Her partner feels it.
Her home feels it.
Her lineage feels it.

The feminine is not weak.
It is the infrastructure of humanity.

And when women value themselves, society slowly learns to follow.

What If Boys Grew Up Valuing the Feminine Too?

One of the most beautiful parts of our conversation was imagining a future where boys — not just girls — are raised to:

• feel their emotions

• trust their intuition

• nurture their relationships

• regulate their nervous systems

• value the feminine within themselves

What kind of men would that create?
What kind of partners?
What kind of leaders?

A New Vision for Mothers, Women, and the Feminine

This episode is not just about motherhood.
It is about value.
About worth.
About rewriting an old story.

A story where women’s contributions were invisible.
Where caregiving was taken for granted.
Where feminine wisdom was dismissed.
Where intuitive intelligence was ignored.

We are here to write a new one.

And if this resonates — share it with a mother or woman who deserves to feel seen.

There’s a type of work that keeps families alive.
A type of work that holds society together.
A type of work that shapes the next generation.
A type of work done mostly by women.

And it is the least valued work in the world.

This week on the podcast, I sat down with my dear friend Valentina — a mother, step-mother, and a fellow practitioner in nervous system co-regulation — to open a conversation that every woman feels, but very few dare to name:

The invisible labor of women.
The emotional labor.
The caregiving.
The holding.
The presence.
The intuition.
The work without a paycheck… yet with immeasurable impact.
