Episode 9: Loneliness in Motherhood

Isn’t it wild how lonely you can feel, even when you’re never actually alone? Parenting can be so isolating. All three of us have gotten relief from that loneliness through different creative communities we’ve found (or created for ourselves): writing critique groups, pottery classes, twitter sub-cultures, text threads, and collaborating on this podcast. This week, our Good Fight Spotlight features our friend (and member of Melissa and Brynn’s former writing group), Christy Petterson, who has done a million creative things and has recently launched daytimemooncreativity.com. She’s currently got registration open for some creativity workshops in the Atlanta area. She’s amazing, encouraging, and smart, and attending one of her workshops could help you make the creative connections we are advocating for in this episode. Go check her out!
