S2E2: Lucy Knisley: ‘Kid Gloves - Nine Months of Careful Chaos’ - exploring personal stories of parenting that inform, educate and illuminate

* Trigger warning, some of this episode discusses pregnancy loss, and a near-death birth experience* 

Welcome back to the Maternal Journal podcast - a deep dive into the power of journaling and creativity to support mental health and wellbeing through pregnancy, birth and parenting. 

In this episode, host Laura Godfrey-Isaacs, is joined by Bestselling American cartoonist Lucy Knisley.  We hear about her book, ‘Kid Gloves’ which takes us on a journey through pre-conception, pregnancy and birth to the unexpected joys of parenting. Lucy's work brings warmth, wit, and vulnerability and explores how the graphic form can become a powerful space for advocacy, reflection, and solidarity as well as the means to highlight how some modern birth practices and cultures can let us down at one of the most important moments of our lives.
