A word about the ins and outs of Erykah's creative process. In this episode, she walks you through how she hacks creatives blocks (like the one she's been in since the release of the last episode); and what she has learned about motherhood and creativity.

Production updates and reflections on the state of her motherhood, all included in this new episode.

For 21st Century moms in North America, the village does not exist anymore. Mothers are left raising their babies alone without the level  of support women from previous generations had. We live miles away from our loved ones and have placed a high value on self-sufficiency. In this episode I share why it is important for us to turn this ship around, to go back to the days where we had no shame in asking for help.
