Day in, day out I hear stories from mothers all over the world about just how difficult they find it to balance their own needs, desires, creative expressions, dreams with the reality of motherhood. If you've been listening to this podcast and my work for a while, this is of no surprise to you. It raises questions such as - how do we hold a sense of self without support? When today's day and age requires so much of us? I recently watched a documentary called Who Does She Think She Is? and was extremely moved. I highly encourage you to watch the documentary for yourself, which supports what we talk about in this conversation. Listen as Pamela and I talk about:

• Art, storytelling, and our culture. How the dialogue and stories of mothers is lacking because it feels almost impossible to pursue your desires and be the mother you want to be.
• Different ways that artists are making the most of their time, doing it in between, alongside and changing our relationship instead of starting at two in the morning.
• The layers of economy, culture and within ourselves that need to be addressed, alongside the importance of coming together as a community.
• The impact of prioritising ourselves can have on marriages, relationships and how that changes mothers availability in the home.

For me, this film was a stark reminder of where we are and how far we've got to go. But also lit up a fiery warrior spirit in me that we have to do this even in the smallest way.Please watch, reflect and discuss this powerful film.
