RARE MAMAS RISING- EPISODE 51

The Making of Rare Mamas: Reflections on Writing and Rare Parenting

In this episode of Rare Mamas Rising, host Nikki takes listeners behind the pages of her upcoming book, Rare Mamas, to share how the writing journey mirrored the rare parenting journey in powerful and unexpected ways. Through honest storytelling, she unpacks the highs, the lows, and the lessons that connect directly to life as a rare mama.

She covers:

·       The hardest and easiest chapters to write — from reliving the grief of "D-Day" to finding hope in Rising to the Call, the chapter that inspired the name of this podcast.

·       The easiest and hardest parts of the process — how writing drew on Nikki's creativity, career, and even her improv training, while publishing tested her patience and reminded her of the difficulties of rare parenting.

·       Unexpected lessons in calling and community — the reminder that doing good doesn't mean it's easy, the importance of going back to your "why," and the gift of community and sisterhood that makes the journey possible.

Nikki's hope is that listeners hear their own stories reflected in these lessons, and that when you read this book, you feel that same sisterhood woven through every page, and the solidarity of a community that is rising together.
