In today's episode, I speak to poet and story-witnesser, Miki DeVivo. Miki
is a writer, a mum and a truth-teller. who is passionate about changing the
cultural narrative around what parenting is “supposed” to look like so that
we can all see ourselves in it. Miki believes need more true stories.
Deeper, more nuanced stories. Stories that make space for all of us and
include the whole range of our experiences and emotions. Stories that
normalize our challenges and release us from the shame we feel about not
being good enough. She believes that our stories are tender and we need
safe community spaces where we can bear witness to and support each other
in the good, hard work we do - which is exactly what she does in her
'Parenting Out Loud Community'. Miki and I had an incredible conversation
about the power of story, writing, parenting, social activism and the
'messy middle' of life.
