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.

11. Why Being a 'Perfectly Imperfect' Mother is actually perfect for your baby

The idea of striving to be a 'perfect' mother is something that so many women struggle with. This podcast is going to dispel that myth, that BS - that we need to be 'perfect' mothers, when actually being a 'good enough' mother is better for both us and our babies! I also share some ideas and techniques that can help support you if you find letting go of perfectionism hard and want to try to be more at ease with your imperfections (note: they are golden). And there's a lovely guided meditation to end this podcast too.

Flexible working for mothers , the the work / family juggle. Setting up a female focussed and female founded business, and a bit of feminism too.
