PODCAST INTERVIEWS WITH MARISSA
The Astro-Attunement Podcast: CANCER SEASON and THE REVOLUTION OF CARE
This conversation explores Cancer themes through an examination of the experience of birthing parents, parenthood, post-partum and the impact of capitalism and individualism on these experiences. Marissa normalizes the less glamorous experiences of parenthood: the rage, anxiety, inequalities, loneliness, and feeling trapped. We discuss a couple of quotes from her article, This is How Patriarchy Weaponizes Gentle Parenting and Leaves Moms Behind.
HOT & BRAVE THE PODCAST: RECLAIMING JOY IN MOTHERHOOD
Bianca and Marissa chat about societal expectations around motherhood all the way from getting pregnant to the parenting experience and joy in Motherhood. They also talk about the ways in which we can reclaim joys of motherhood, play, connection, and love in our identities as mothers and how that experience can be deeply healing and transformational. They discuss the harmful idea that there is some sort of magical list of steps to follow in order to achieve the dream of a happy, peaceful, nuclear family.
