12. Motherhood, creativity, identity and twins

Poet and Psychotherapist Flora Croft joins to to chat all things creativity, identity and twin motherhood too.

Her groundbreaking book of poetry I Am A Spider Mother is a unique creative exploration of twin motherhood, identity as a mother, transformation, vulnerability, pregnancy, infertility and IVF and also the relationship between grandmother, mother and children too. Basically the poems and themes are so relevant to all mothers.

We chat about writing as a vessel for creativity, poetry and how the act of getting words down on paper is so cathartic as well as creative. How identity change and transition as a mother, and how it is not always easy, fun or enjoyable.
