Wow I love this! What a beautiful way to weave the community and support each artist in their specific phase of life/creation. So inspired by this! I’m a film photographer- focusing my work on motherhood in a very intimate way. I’d love to contribute photos and new work as well if that’s of interest down the line ❤️ I just launched my substack last week, so you can get a better feel for my work on insta (brigettebloom) Xx

Hi Kat, this is quite serendipitous - I’m just dipping into the world of writing guest articles for other Substackers, and considering inviting some to write for mine - and I have just come across this!

My reflections would be on mothering teens. As someone who worked all through the early years, toddlerhood, school sports days and Christmas plays, I carried the inevitable guilt and conflict in priorities. In recent years, circumstances led to me becoming a writer and subsequently being at home full time for the first time since my daughters were born. The impact of this and necessity of it happening at this stage of their development has been nothing short of extraordinary.

I’ll email you, but I’d love to write about the changing demands of mothering as they become young adults, and what unexpected insights I have gleaned through being present in a different way. 💕🙏

I would so love your perspective on that! Much of my network do have young babes, so often the conversation is around that. Though I do have a beautiful community of mamas around raising pre-teens and teens and it's a whole new ball game! Please do email! xx

Thank you for offering yourself

I'm so glad to see that you're getting help with your writing. To start with, "apart" is an adverb, not a noun. Replace with "a part".

"I so appreciate those who are about to reach out and be apart of this project."
