The MOTHER Podcast with Katie Hintz-Zambrano

Cleo Wade: The Best-Selling Author on the Undeniable Link Between Motherhood and Personhood, Finding Strength in Community, and the Power of Children’s Books


Listen Later

Today’s guest is Cleo Wade, the best-selling author and poet whose work explores hope, resilience, and the power of love. Her books include Heart Talk, Where To Begin, Remember Love, and two children’s books: What The Road Said, and her brand-new kid-lit title—which she both wrote and illustrated—May You Love and Be Loved: Wishes for Your Life

In addition to her books, Cleo has also created public art installations across the country, and works closely with several nonprofits that support women and girls.  

What we find so inspiring about Cleo is how she is committed to comforting and uplifting people in their toughest times. She uses her standing as a mega-influencer for good—instead of just for vanity—which is a true rarity these days. 

In today’s conversation, Cleo talks to us about her upbringing, where she motivates from, juggling parenthood alongside a robust career, her latest book, how the strength of one’s motherhood and strength of one’s personhood are undeniably linked—and so much more.
