The alt title of this episode was, Chaos in its Most Beautiful Form. Today on The Perinatal Podcast, we go here, we go there, we go every very many which ways in spectacular fashion. I'm joined this week by McKenzie Jones and Meredith Garrison—my very first sibling guests on the show! Together, we dive into a rich conversation about identity in motherhood, neurodivergence in both parenting and childhood, and the challenges of guiding our children through a world that doesn’t always celebrate creativity or support those who step outside the bounds of cultural norms.We also reflect on Mother's Day, exploring what it means to honor all identities and lived experiences. Throughout our chat, we invite you, our Listener Darlings, to embrace curiosity over judgment—to hold space for others, lead with empathy, and humanize the experiences of those around you. And maybe, just maybe, explore how you might let go of judgment altogether while still being intentional about protecting your own peace.This is a heartfelt, thoughtful conversation—and I’m so glad to welcome you back to another episode of The Perinatal Podcast.Find McKenzie!The Worker Place: https://www.theworkerplace.coop/Launch Cooperative: https://www.launch.coop/US Federation of Worker Cooperatives: https://www.usworker.coop/Strange Heavy: https://www.strangeheavy.com/Mama Look: https://www.instagram.com/mamalookmusicFind Meredith!
