S2E3: Mimi Kunz: ‘Mother Tongue’ – expressions through poetry and drawing of both the tenderness and uncertainty of the maternal 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 artist and poet Mimi Kunz. Her book ‘Mother Tongue’ brings a stunning combination of poems and drawings together, made in parallel, whilst she was taking care of her new born daughter, Iris, in the first year of her life. The book recounts moments of marvel, fear, and laughter with Mimi exploring how the body of mother and child form our first language, our mother tongue. 

In this gentle conversation, we hear Mimi read some of her beautiful poems as well as her positive ideas on the framing of motherhood and creativity.
