In conversation with Julie Phillips, author of the “The Baby on the Fire Escape: Creativity, Motherhood, and the Mind-Body Problem, she explores with Dr. Christine Forte Klotz her writing on the shifting terrain where motherhood and creativity converge, about seeking to strike a balance between creative work and motherhood. About writers & artists who left their children and those who stayed, and all the societal judgements and struggles around this. Fascinating not only for the insights into the lives of mothers historically but also for examining how we too make these choices around balance.

The Disorientation & Reorientation of Change with Rich Watkins

The very nature of parenting revolves around the endless change of seeing our babies grow into beautiful little people. As our children develop their identities, we as parents also go through our own identity shifts. Each stage can bring with it a sense of disorientation, but from it there is tremendous potential for growth, development, new experiences. Rich Watkins is the Founder of Let's Go, a global network helping leaders and organizations make collaboration work. He is passionate about turning ideas into practical tools, personal transformation, and social processes. Change grew bigger on his agenda when he became a dad, dealt with the pandemic, and worked in a remote setup. Today, we invited Rich to share his experience with self-transformation as he dives into parenthood. Rich talks about his struggles in finding his new identity during his fatherhood transition and how he processes change and uses those learning experiences to grow. As always within this, the theme of interdependence on others is present - reminding us that no matter how we may feel, we aren't alone in a particular feeling or experience. In this episode, you'll hear: The interaction of innovation and personal development to parenthood Learn the "Let's Go Change Loop" Rich's disorientation and reorientation experience as a parent The beautiful rebirth of yourself as a parent; and How to do self-care and prioritize yourself during any transition Connect and learn more about Rich Watkins, head to: YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/c/richardwatkins Website:https://www.richwatkins.com To connect with Christine Forte Klotz, head to: Instagram:https://www.instagram.com/christineforteklotz/ Website: https://forteklotz.com/
