To Act Or Be Acted Upon – Our Gift of Agency
I had to pretend I was writing a 5 minute talk for my religion class this past semester. I worked really hard on this talk, only to find out, it was over twice as long as it was supposed to be! I sent my instructor the Reader’s Digest Version, but I wanted to share the…

Episode 4: The older I get, the less I know…. what I wish I could go back and tell my ‘non-parent’ self….
Loving motherhood/parenthood doesn’t always come naturally. Breastfeeding isn’t easy. Waking up every two hours to take care of another human being isn’t easy.
