Smoke in the Air: On Wildfires, Daycare Drop-Offs, and Learning to Let Go

from That Writer (Mom) · host Andrea Wrauley

In this episode, Andrea reflects on a season shaped by wildfire smoke and the challenges of first separations. As her toddler starts daycare, Andrea wrestles with the question many parents carry quietly: Am I doing the right thing? Moving between climate anxiety, creative longing, and the deep, wordless experience of attachment, this episode is a meditation on love, work, fear, and the tiny moments that remind us we’re still connected.
