Caught Off Guard: The Unexpected Moments of Motherhood | #CaughtOffGuardParenting Ep. 004

Welcome to Episode 4 of Art, Parenthood and Beyond! I’m Miwa Gardner, and in this episode, I dive into those unexpected moments of parenthood that can catch us completely off guard. I share a touching story about my son, who surprised me by expressing empathy in a way I never expected. It made me realize how deeply connected we are and how those little moments can inspire our creativity as artists.

I also explore how my experiences as a parent influence my artwork and vice versa. I want to hear from you, too! Have you had those surprising moments with your kids that made you stop and think? Or as an artist, has an unexpected emotion ever shaped your work? Let’s celebrate those precious moments together, reminding ourselves to embrace the chaos and find joy in it all.

So grab a seat, relax, and let’s reflect on these beautiful connections between art and parenthood!
