Zooming Out is Joanna Schroeder’s weekly newsletter; a place for stories, recommendations, and advice about the following:

  • raising emotionally healthy kids

  • issues facing boys & young men today

  • the changing face of masculinity in society and how that affects boys 

  • family equity and marital structure

  • adapting to the new paradigm of women as earners in society…

  • … and how this system drives so many wives and mothers to despair and depression

  • the ways in which we carve our identities into a world that wants moms to disappear into their families

  • anything else that feels relevant to the lives of women and our children 

As time goes on, I will be adding some video content and other types of interactive media.

Welcome, and I hope you stick around.
