Lauren Trend on the constant whiplash of navigating paid work and parenting, feeling depleted, and working with the ebbs and flows of the seasons

49 minutes

There’s a lot to love about mother, Self-Practice founder, creative director, and consultant, Lauren Trend.

She’s incredibly relatable, but as a queer mother, she has a lot to teach us about inclusive language and what it’s like to navigate a system that’s not entirely built for you.

Here, we talk the constant whiplash of navigating working and parenthood, surrendering to being at the whim of a tiny person’s schedule, navigating a patriarchal system as a queer mother, and all the good bits, because as you’ll hear, she’s had plenty of those, too.
