How can we find time to be creative as busy moms of young kids? Loryn Brantz, author of the new poetry collection POEMS OF PARENTING, discusses how her creative practice informs her parenting and vice versa.

Loryn is the creator of the bestselling Feminist Baby board book series and has worked as a director and illustrator for Sesame Street and Ms. Rachel.

Margaret and Loryn discuss:

  • Loryn’s creative journey from Sesame Street to Buzzfeed to publishing twelve books

  • How motherhood and exhaustion birthed her viral poetry collection on Instagram

  • The power of mindfulness and meditation for overwhelmed moms

  • Why Loryn believes kids' media should stay focused on kids
