Co-creating and Finding Spaces To Play (without your children) While Being a Parent

Listen Later

As promised we are back with our Part 2 of reflections that unfolded after going to Burning Man in 2023 without our children. Joining us for this convo we've got a special (and very first) guest on the podcast, Teny. She is a mama and business owner (and friend) that joined us on the adventure. The conversation goes in so many good directions. Some of the things we explore:


  • the importance of engaging with your inner child as a mother (on your own without having your own children around)
  • finding opportunities and spaces to connect with nature and the dark mother
  • communal living and sharing of resources - how to bring this back into motherhood
  • surrender as a parent vs. control
  • co-creating vs. directing in parenthood
  • attachment styles, inter-dependancy and codependency 
  • disassociation (it’s not a bad thing) 


    • Additional Resources:

    • Episode #10 - Taking Extended Solo Time and Separation from Our Babies (Part 1 of Our Burning Man Reflections)
    • Luis Mojica - Holistic Life Navigation
    • Briana MacWilliams (for attachment styles)
