Aja Graydon on How to Raise Mothers

When I was pregnant with my first child, I used to keep a blog about my experiences, hopes and other bits and bobs. I decided to go on maternity leave, and while I was away I published list after list of advice from close friends. It was one of the more touching first moments of this journey because a friend just shared advice without my asking. I felt so held in that moment, that the first thing I wanted to do was give the other folks who were also expecting around my time that same feeling in case they didn’t have it.

Some time during the pandemic, I decided to revive that idea. I’m doing it again for the second time. I’ll share the previous posts here and if you’d like to participate, fill out this form and I’ll feature you.
