In this first Blog Blob, I share and riff off a blog post titled "Not either/or, it's both/and." Having a binary outlook way limits our ability to see nuance and really live life. While seeing things in black and white may be easier, the human experience is very much in the gray where contrasting truths can and do co-exist. 

This Blog Blob is an extension of my conversation with Amelia Sherry in Episode 3 which was very much about this push and pull. She shares her feelings on the word mother and how she does not like identifying as a mother while still believing it to be one of the most important aspects of her life. 

**My apologies for the audio quality in this episode. I forgot to plug in my microphone and was using my computer. Alas, creation is imperfect, and when the muse calls, you listen.
