“I feel like I have the most internal struggle when I recognize that my work doesn't have value in a traditional sense and that my creative work and the work I do as a mother is not valued in this system. And trying to remind myself of the values of that, trying to say, Okay, I'm going to spend time today working on this literary fiction that I know will not pay our bills. Does it matter?” 

~ Kaitlin Solimine

I don't know, listeners. Does it matter? I'm really curious to hear how you engage with this struggle and how you define seasons.

In season 2 of the Postpartum Production podcast, we will be taking a little bit of a bird’s-eye view - sort of a step back - to examine some of the bigger picture questions that we dug into in the first season.

So while there will be sprinklings of practitioners, writers, poets, artists, etc. who will join us primarily because they have a work that is coming out soon and it makes sense to talk to them while they're engaging with an audience more deeply at this particular time, we are really stepping back and talking to a range of what we see as experts on specific subject matters to examine this particular moment, and to just have a slightly different angle on things for a little bit. 

This mini-episode is a teaser to the season and includes a little bit of a preview of recordings we've already done to hopefully give you a sense for what's to come.

Please subscribe wherever you get your podcasts and give us a rating. This will help us reach more listeners like you who are navigating the joys and pitfalls of artistic and parenting identities.
