Listen in: Wayfinding Mothers!
Dear playroom pals,
I wanted to share that after the success of our first Wayfinding Mothers we've decided to make it an ongoing conversation!
As a parent who is currently DEEP in the process of finding my way through this new identity, it is very nice to be able to have a space to share what this REALLY looks and feels like.
Wayfinding Mothers is basically an interactive, live podcast space, where an organic conversation unfolds between Me, Torrey (branding strategist/designer), Rachel (Founder of Mama Thyme/nutrition therapist) and is hosted by Johanna Setta of Mondays by Design.
It has been incredibly grounding to talk to other parents who are deep in it, who have wisdom to share, who have passions, who are ambitious, and learning about how others are making it work!
Things we spoke about last week included following our gut instinct, parenting and running a business, having sustainable creative careers, our intersecting interests in alternative schooling!
As framed by Johanna, our conversations will touch on:
— motherhood and identity
— building businesses around life
— time as the ultimate asset
— low-overhead living and freedom
— alternative education and unconventional rhythms
— redefining success, enoughness, and ambition
— parenting, creativity, technology, and culture
— trusting your own path over industry norms
— founder / mother wellness
— wayfinding in real time
Johanna and I met last year at Alt Summit (the conference for creative entrepreneurs) in Palm Springs and we hit it off right away! Jo is AMAZING and helps business owners build their audiences OFF of social media. (We bonded over loving the "Off the Grid" podcast!)
I can't remember if I've mentioned it on here or not, but in 2020/2021 I trained as a digital wellness coach through Consciously Digital, to better inform my immersive VR projects and own tech use, so Jo and I had a LOT to talk about when it comes to building OFF of social media. But YES I am still a social media power user LOL. But I WANT TO CHANGE!!!!
While I haven't met Rachel and Torrey IRL, it's been fun to discover the interesting ways our lives, work, and families intersect.
We are all out here, finding our way!!!!
SO how do you actually join and listen in to Wayfinding Mothers?!
Our next chat will be on June 9th 11:00 am - 11:45 am EST / 8:00 - 8:45 am PST
The conversation will be hosted in a private listening room on Voxer. Voxer is basically a walkie-talkie app, so you can listen live as the conversation unfolds. It's very fun!
It looks like this:
As someone shares their thoughts, it adds it as a 'voice note' which you can play and interact with.
NOTES ON VOXER:
- If you don’t have Voxer yet, you’ll need to download the free app to join
- Follow this link and click 'access the room'
- You'll want 'access the room' BEFORE the chat starts so you don't miss any of the convo - if you arrive late, the conversations starts when you joined.
I hope to see you on June 9th!
XO
