Vesperisms S2E4: To Mother or Not To Mother (as a Working Artist?)

Women are given a lot of confusing and unhelpful messages when it comes to pursuing a career in the arts. This episode isn't meant to cover all aspects of being a working artist mother—we'll pursue more over time—only the factors that go into whether or not to have children in the first place.

Vesperisms: The Art of Thinking for Yourself is the podcast to help you make sense of your place in this crazy world by reclaiming an artistic worldview. Everything around us is trying to push us into boxes, but that's not how artists' minds work. Let's get off that detour and back on the main road to thinking for ourselves: as artists.
