Together, we've examined how we wrestle with our conceptions of motherhood, the constraints of patriarchal structures on caregiving and art, and ways in which the fractured inevitability of early motherhood could perhaps provide new frameworks for creative production that work against existing norms and provide wholly new opportunities for expression, empowerment, and community.Timestamps:11:51 - Namrata Poddar, EP 1312:32 - Sara Petersen, EP 0813:09 - Heather Powell, EP 0714:08 - Nancy Reddy, EP 1215:02 - Amanda Montei, EP 1515:27 - Namrata Poddar15:45 - Nora Fiffer, EP 1116:57 - Sarah Chaves, EP 0118:18 - Nora Fiffer20:30 - Emily Pérez, EP 1221:27 - MM De Voe, EP 0922:04 - Dani Rowe, EP 0622:34 - Vanessa Hua, EP 0523:17 - Jackie Leonard, EP 0223:58 - Sarah Chaves24:57 - Vanessa Hua26:40 - Amanda Montei, EP 1526:57 - Minna Dubin, EP 1527:16 - Cindy DiTiberio, EP 1527:47 - Heather Powell28:30 - Sara Petersen 29:38 - Emily...

“How fun would it be to have a space where the kids could be kids and we could mother them, but we could also do our creative work with each other?! I don't know what that would look like, but it sounds like a world that I would love to inhabit.”  ~ Heather Powell In this episode, Kaitlin talks with Heather Powell about the guilt that comes to surface when balancing motherhood and more specifically, about how she balances her value of creating musical/live art with that of being a parent to one child, with another on the way at the time of this recording. Heather is an orchestral violinist who works as a chamber musician and soloist. She is also the lead producer of “https://www.daniellerowe.net/#/beforeyouhadaname/ (Before You Had A Name,)” a unique live performance collaboration which marries chamber music, classical dance, and visual art to explore the theme of maternity, that Kaitlin spoke about in episode 6 with choreographer, Dani Rowe, who worked with Heather on that project.  Heather and Kaitlin talk about: How Heather's identity as a person and an artist shifted after having a child Her struggle to justify the importance of being an artist when you have someone who needs you present all the time. Before You Had a Name, Heather's collaborative project with Choreographer Dani Rowe (also a previous guest on the Postpartum Production podcast). Heather's musings and exploration of the idea of bringing our children to work as an integral value in the absence of capitalism. Heather's definitions of creativity and postpartum. —— In our conversation, like many of these conversations with artists that I've had, Heather mentioned at first that she finds it hard to justify her creative pursuits while mothering. And at the same time, she answered the importance of keeping creative pursuits intact twice in this conversation when she said, first, creativity is fundamentally human. And next, Creativity is connecting with your soul and surroundings. What is creativity to you? I'd love to hear from you. Send us an email: hello@postpartumproduction.com —— ~ Kaitlin Solimine.

“Becoming a mother gave me this drive and confidence. I felt like I had a voice and that I felt ready to be that person that was at the front of the room, having those ideas, using my imagination, and attempting to communicate that to a whole room of dancers.” ~ Dani Rowe  Kaitlin talks with Choreographer and filmmaker, Dani Rowe about her transition to motherhood and how that impacted her career as a whole. Dani started out as a dancer from very early on in her life, with her first professional role at age 17. From 2001-2015, she was a Principal Dancer with the Australian Ballet and Houston Ballet, and also danced with the prestigious Nederlands Dans Theater. After her daughter was born, having moved to the States with her husband (also a dancer), Dani pursued choreography and became even more dedicated to dance, though in a different way. She has created works for San Francisco Ballet, Nederlands Dans Theater's SWITCH program, and Royal New Zealand Ballet, to name a few.  During the pandemic, her work shifted to include filmmaking, which you can see on http://daniellerowe.net/ (her website). Dani and Kaitlin talk about: Dani's transition from dancer, to mother and choreographer. Before You Had a Name, a unique collaborative project between Dani, violinist and upcoming guest on this podcast Heather Powell, and dancer & choreographer Sarah van Patten. The unfavorable effect that pregnancy often has on female dancers' careers, an outrageous imbalance that inarguably stems from patriarchal bias, and one that the very foundation of Before You Had a Name challenged from the get go. The juggle between motherhood and Dani's choreography work. The concept of invisible work, how that resonates with Dani, and the importance and value of making space for creative ideas.

Brand suffered a late mishap when she collided in the pits with her father during a clumsy bike change. She tells us that she has already put that disappointment behind her as she focuses on the road season. Archibald shares her plans for 2019, in which she might ride as a ‘privateer’ rather than for one of the leading road teams. And Rowe explains why she made the surprising decision to retire at the end of last season, her best on the road.  “I feel privileged to go out on my own terms, in a really good mental place with the sport,” says Rowe. “I don’t look at a bike and think, I never want to ride a bike again. I still love it. I haven’t been told I’m not good enough and I haven’t had an injury that’s forced me out of the sport.”  The Cycling Podcast Féminin is supported by [Rapha](https://rapha.cc) and [Science in Sport.](https://scienceinsport.com) Harry’s have a special offer for Cycling Podcast Féminin listeners by offering a Trial Set for £3.95, all you have to do is go to Harrys.com/CYCLING To get 25% off Science in Sport products, go to scienceinsport.com and enter the code SISCP25 at the checkout.

The July episode of The Cycling Podcast Féminin comes from France, where Richard Moore, Orla Chennaoui and Rose Manley report from La Course, the women's one-day race in the Alps. There's also a feature from the Giro Rosa, the women's Tour of Italy.  At La Course, a thrilling race was won by Annemiek van Vleuten – who also won the Giro Rosa – with the young Danish star Cecilie Uttrup Ludwig lighting it up with a long-range attack that looked like it might succeed. We hear from Uttrup Ludwig, from Giro runner-up Ashleigh Moolman Pasio, Dani Rowe and also from the rider who lost the race in the final few metres, Anna van der Breggen.  Van der Breggen is the Olympic champion and has been the best in the world for the last two years, but Van Vleuten is offering a serious challenge this season. From Italy we hear from Kasia Niewiadoma and Alexis Ryan as they reflect on Van Vleuten's dominant performance at the Giro.  The Cycling Podcast Féminin is supported by Rapha, Skoda and Science in Sport.

In the final Cycling Podcast Féminin from the OVO Energy Women’s Tour, Richard Moore, Orla Chennaoui and Rose Manley discuss the last stage and the battle for overall victory. While the stage into Colwyn Bay was taken by Finnish champion Lotta Lepisto, it was Coryn Rivera, who has led since day two, who claimed the green jersey of champion. The first ever Women’s Tour winner, Marianne Vos, was second. We hear from Lepisto, Rivera and Dani Rowe, who suffered a nasty crash the previous day but survived the stage to hold on to a place on the podium by finishing third. There are also interviews with last year’s winner, Kasia Niewiadoma, and Dame Sarah Storey, who was there as a spectator and team owner and who shares her thoughts about how the Women’s Tour has developed in its five years.  The Cycling Podcast Féminin is supported by Rapha, Skoda and Science in Sport

Stage four of the OVO Energy Women’s Tour, into Worcester, was won by the former world champion Amalie Dideriksen, giving her team, Boels-Dolmans, their first win of the race. Coryn Rivera of Team Sunweb kept the leader’s green jersey with only one stage remaining.  Richard Moore, Orla Chennaoui and Rose Manley of The Cycling Podcast Féminin discuss the day’s action and look ahead to the decisive final stage in Wales. There are interviews with current world champion Chantal Blaak, defending champion Kasia Niewiadoma and Audrey Cordon-Ragot, who spent much of the day in the breakaway – and was not at all happy at the finish. Another rider who was unhappy was Dani Rowe, who crashed heavily in the final 3km. She remains the best placed British rider in third, but tells the podcast that she is unsure whether she will be able to start her home stage on Sunday. There’s also a feature in this episode on a delicate subject – the challenge posed to the female riders by the need to answer a call of nature mid-stage.  The Cycling Podcast Féminin is supported by Rapha, Skoda and Science in Sport

Stage two of the OVO Energy Women’s Tour took the riders into Northamptonshire, with the first climbs bringing some of the favourites to the fore. At the finish in Daventry it was Coryn Rivera, the American on Team Sunweb, who narrowly beat Marianne Vos, the Dutchwoman who won the first Women’s Tour in 2014.  The Cycling Podcast Féminin reports from the finish with Richard Moore, Orla Chennaoui and Rose Manley discussing the talking points from the stage. There are interviews with Rivera, a disappointed Vos and her teammate Dani Rowe, the top British rider. We also hear from Danny Stam, who runs Boels-Dolmans, the world’s top team, and Maaike Boogard, the young Dutchwoman who was the day’s breakaway queen.  There was some confusion after stage one when Abi Van Twisk, who rides for Trek-Drops, crashed and left the race in an ambulance. Van Twisk was later declared fit to carry on racing by the doctors and, though heavily bandaged, lined up at the start in Rushden. In the end it proved too much for Van Twisk, who didn’t finish – we hear from her before and after the stage, as well as from the race doctor, Matt Gray.  The Cycling Podcast Féminin is supported by Rapha, Skoda and Science in Sport
