I loved this, Lilla and Katie! So inspiring. Truly! Not just the conversation and topics, but especially that you just jumped on the opportunity. Thank you, thank you, thank you! -Sarah Vaughn-Rohrbough
Another great sesh from you both. Love this from Lilla: "people won't take you seriously unless you take yourself seriously" which is related to balancing parenting & art. A few years ago, I decided to start a co-working group to have accountability, camaraderie, and to block "access" to me (because it's "real" if it's on the calendar). Also, I think art/work expectations shift when you're a parent - it took me a while to not be resentful that I didn't have enough time for work, that I couldn't work on long projects without cleaning up in between (because little hands want to get into *everything*). I found a balance, a re-setting of my own expectations, and now that my kiddo is old enough, boundaries are easier to enforce.
It's always such a pleasure to listen to you Lilla. You always have little nuggets of life weaved in
Thank you so much, Rekha. That means a lot.

Oh, thank you so much, Sarah. I was so glad you were there. We’re very much enjoying it and hopeful that it’s meaningful to our community in some way.

This is just what I needed! Thanks Lilla and Katie! Lilla--I think your soothing voice is getting me through this awful time in history.
