Episode #46: Hiking the Peaks & Valleys of Parenting with Angela Anderson, Communications Guru, Ultra Runner, Artist & Working Mother Artwork

The Working Mother Experience

It's The Working Mother Experience podcast. Weekly, we will alternate between interviewing the artists (it could be you) and discussing hot topics related to working and mothering. We promise, it will lift your spirits, make you laugh and think, and deeply connect you to your experience and the experience of other working mothers. The Working Mother Experience inspires ambitious women to honestly and creatively share what it means to work and mother. Our goal is to collect and compile 250 pieces of individual art, painted by working mothers around the globe, to showcase the richness and diversity of what it means to mother and work.

Episode #46: Hiking the Peaks & Valleys of Parenting with Angela Anderson, Communications Guru, Ultra Runner, Artist & Working Mother

May 10, 2024 • Working Mother Experience

Meet the amazing Angela Anderson, Communications Director for The Working Mother Experience, ultra runner, adventure-woman, senior leader and momma.

We talk about having children 12 years apart and how Angela has evolved as a parent - she's more chill, and yet, less tolerant of toys and Lego in her house (she doesn't want to go through getting rid of all the toys again; any parent will relate).

We talk about the parallel of hiking in the mountains to parenting - how we move through waves, the highs and the lows of both journeys, the frustration and pain to the extraordinary joys and spiritual connection. Angela speaks to creating two pieces and how her paintings have evolved over time; she encourages all contributors and artists to revisit their art piece.

We hope you enjoy this beautiful conversation with Angela.
