In this weeks episode Anniki talks about motherhood and creativity with Clover Stroud. Clover recently published a book called ‘Wild & Sleepless Nights’ and is mother to 5 children. They discuss how on earth you parent and write. And what’s the difference between being a mum in your twenties versus your forties? (are you actually more patient in your twenties and more tolerant of mess?) And how do you handle the domestic drudge and admin and stay inspired/awake enough to write or do anything creative? Whether you have kids or not this podcast explores female creativity, grief and the backdrop of mess that is everyday life.
