S2E8: Rhiannon Lucy Cosslett and Pia Bramley - ‘The Republic of Parenthood’: A sharp yet tender look at the joys, politics, and everyday chaos of raising a baby.

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 the final episode of our second series we’re joined by writer and journalist Rhiannon Lucy Cosslett, well known for her insightful column on parenting in the Guardian, and illustrator Pia Bramley (Pandemic Baby: Becoming a Parent in Lockdown) to talk about their fearless and funny book ‘The Republic of Parenthood’. From the struggles of broken childcare systems to the hunt for toddler-proof socks, we explore how stories and sketches can bring comfort, courage, and laughter to parenting.
