Now I’m thinking how amazing it would be to have a substack writers retreat one day 🥹🤞🏼

Well this was the collaboration I have been waiting for. I am gently suggesting a part two when baby is earth side Eliza and more parts come to the surface and shift around as they do. Thank you for this gift you both gave, it is beautiful.

Oh Emma thank you for this invitation…I already have so much more to say being 3 weeks postpartum. A follow up will definitely be happening

Lovely to hear you two in conversation. Motherhood has not been part of my journey (at least not in the traditional sense), but I love hearing your insights. And wishing you well in the transition phase Eliza ❤

Thank you for reading, Vicki. I have no doubt you have mothered many a person and being during your time here <3 I've felt mothered by your words, warmth and spaciousness.

Oh man, I am SO pumped to be the first one here to say YESSSSSS to all of this, most especially to this power collab. ☄️ All of my mother (and child and therapist) parts who are all activated for Mother’s Day are at attention here, and feeling so seen and attuned to you both. Kinda really wishing I coulda just strolled into this conversation with some snacks and joined in. Thank you so much to you both. 🫶🏽🫶🏽
