Part II - Seeing Yourself in Your Child: Katherine Duclos has Learned More About Herself and her Art Through Raising a Neurodivergent Son
"I didn't know that I would learn so much about who I am by being a mother, figuring out how to mother somebody who's just like me in the ways that I wish I were better. He mirrors the hard parts; mirrors the parts that have been really difficult for me to manage my whole life.”~ Katherine Duclos
In part 2 of this 2-part episode with Katherine Duclos, Kaitlin and Katherine talk about Katherine’s relationship with her neurodivergent son, and how his diagnosis has shone a light on who she is as a person, a mother, and an artist.
Katherine and Kaitlin talk about:
- An important aspect of motherhood that is inherent in the role; the ability to put others needs before ours, a theme that runs through every mother’s life, but is in conflict with the balancing of our professional and parenting identities.
- Her son’s neurodivergence and the impact it has on the way he views the world, especially through his art. Katherine also shares her own perspective and relationship with neurodivergence.
- What the words ‘postpartum’ and ‘production’ mean to Katherine, and how they’re intersecting in her life at home.
