“Mothering doesn’t get easier with age—it is a real job with responsibilities that remain invisible, undervalued, and unsupported by resources essential for mental, emotional, and physical sustainability. I’ve also been shown strengths I didn’t know I had, fears I didn’t know existed, and a fierce love that somehow carries it all.” Mic drop!🫶🏽

Hi Prajna, yes mom of two. Someone who follows my writing about family once asked, "How many kids do you have again?" because the way I write makes it sound like I have sixteen, lol. I find it all so intense while rewarding, just so much jiu-jitsu to parent from actual love while also supporting my needs in a culture that consistently tries to take away the dignity of it all. Anyway, I really enjoyed your interview! Appreciate you right back.

Yes! And here’s another mic drop moment:
“Now, soul nourishment comes from choosing to turn away from what doesn’t warm a creative life and from leaning into places that do.”
I’m living by those words from this second onwards!
Thank you Wini.
Thank you for reading Kara. Are you a mom? I appreciate you.
