I get this! I’d felt creatively stagnant for years. And suddenly I have a baby, and I have the most creative motivation I’ve ever had. Must be the mix of emotional hormones and restricted time that crystallizes exactly what I wish I could be doing. So unfair 😂
But I’m looking into babysitters now that kiddo’s down to one nap, and I am looking forward to finally moving forward with the game plan I’ve been building in my head for the last year. Cheers to our kids who force us to get real about what we want in life.
Great story about.... (can I write this?) ... breasts and suckling and what all that feels like and what mothers sacrifice for their babies' well being! This is a universally important topic that is rarely written about openly. We've had a sexual revolution, we're having a gender revolution, when are we going to have an breastfeeding awareness revolution? Now.
So happy we've connected. I did a whole series on Motherhood (and parenthood and mother-writers) on my other Stack. You add a lot of great ideas here! I think it's so valuable to capture these difficult moments and also find what we've gained from them.

Such great content (as usual)
