Through her intimate reflections, Maria invites readers to shed self-criticism, embrace every part of themselves, and discover the profound healing that comes with forgiveness and self-compassion. The book encourages readers to rediscover poetry as a tool for self-exploration, paving the way to uncover a deeper version of themselves.

They delve into the visceral experience of being a woman today, the societal pressures we face, and why it's high time mothers' voices are heard and valued.   If you're ready for a conversation that cuts deep into the soul of womanhood and leaves you feeling seen and understood, this episode is a must-listen.   Discover more from us: • Join PWT community on Substack • Follow us on Instagram • Connect with Danusia • Leave us a review on Apple Podcasts • Advertising Inquiries here   Credits: • Hosted by Danusia Malina-Derben • Edited, Mixed + Mastered by Marie Kruz • Cover art by Anthony Oram

Is Instagram poetry actually poetry? In the most controversial episode yet, Katie and Tim's date nite discussion is crashed by poet Erik Campbell. Listen as we drink whiskey and hit at what irks more traditional poets about this poetic genre, as well as look at what we can learn from InstaPoets like Rupi Kaur, Atticus, Pavana Reddy, Amanda Lovelace, Nikita Gill, and Kate Baer.  At the Table: Katie Dozier Timothy Green Erik Campbell

Today's guest is Kate Baer, the beloved poet whose work explores motherhood, marriage, misogyny, the sacredness of female friendships—and so much more.  Kate's very first book, What Kind of Woman, was released during the turbulence of 2020—mere days after the 2020 presidential election. It was the first time she was ever paid to write and it became a #1 New York Times best-seller.A year later, she released another best-seller: I Hope This Finds You Well, a stunning collection of erasure poems in which she uses the often offensive commentary she's received on social media to create her work. The latest book of the Pennysalvania-native is 2022's And Yet, which continues her streak of crafting the most beautiful truth bombs.  In today's conversation, we talk to Kate about raising 4 children, her next book, the pressure that comes with all those accolades, the glory of being an unsupervised latchkey kid in the 90s, and how the unplanned pregnancy of her 4th child changed the course of her life and career.Follow Kate on social at @katejbaerToday's episode is brought to you by a couple mom-owned brands we love—Zenni & Ritual.

Kate Baer joins Kevin Young to read “The Morning After,” by Ellen Bass, and her own poem “Mixup.” Baer is the New York Times bestselling author of three poetry collections, including, most recently “And Yet.”

Kate Baer has always been a writer, and as soon as she became a mother, her blog and essays became about motherhood. Even with success, she felt boxed in, that people weren't respecting her work as literary. So she took a break for four years and started working on a novel - but then she started to cheat on that novel with poetry.That poetry has become a gift for mothers, art that makes us feel like we're not alone. It verbalizes a lot of the things we've been scared to say out loud because it's taboo or it seems like this isn't what a good mother would say. Today, Cara chats with Kate about her writing and motherhood journeys, and asks about some of her favorite poems.Kate Baer is the 3x New York Times bestselling author of What Kind Of Woman, I Hope This Finds You Well, & And Yet. Her work has also been published in The New Yorker, Literary Hub, Huffington Post and The New York Times. ------Sign up for the Parenting Translator Substack, and follow along on Instagram.Parenting Translator is hosted by Dr. Cara Goodwin and is produced by Earfluence.Dr. Cara Goodwin, PhD, is a child psychologist and mother to three children who "translates" research on parenting and child development into information that is accurate, relevant, and useful to parents.

A $2 bargain book on intuitive eating dropped into Dr. Kerri Fullerton's (she/her/hers) life as she was quickly becoming disenchanted after a year and a half of attending Overeaters Anonymous. Now, her practice centers around intuitive eating support, and she's debunking the myths you've heard about what intuitive eating actually is.Dr. Kerri Fullerton ND is a HAES-friendly naturopathic doctor (2003) and certified intuitive eating counsellor (2018). She believes that everybody deserves compassionate, competent, weight-neutral care. Through her own recovery from disordered eating and body image challenges, Kerri learned that you can't hate yourself healthy. Food interventions are NOT low-risk and restrictions are very rarely necessary for good health (yep, including sugar). Using humour and compassion, she helps her patients develop body respect, reconcile their food rules, and reclaim their lives. Her greatest passion is raising a generation that doesn't look to their body for happiness, confidence or self-worth.You can find her at her website www.kerrifullerton.com and @thedietrebellion on IG, FB and YouTube.Sophia reads Beach Body by Kate Baer on this episode.All things Fat Joy can be found here…Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/fatjoy.life/YouTube: https://youtube.com/@fatjoyTikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@fatjoypodcastFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/fatjoypodcast/Website: http://www.fatjoy.lifePatreon: http://patreon.com/fatjoyIf you want more conversations like this one, please rate and review us in your podcast player!And if you're a Patreon supporter, be sure to go watch “Some Extra Fat Joy: 10 Q's with Kerri Fullerton” (http://patreon.com/fatjoy).

“Motherhood makes us all so insecure and vulnerable as it is. It's just an innately vulnerable experience that's just rife for feeling bad about yourself or feeling unsure about your choices. We're just ‘onslaughted' with so many people—most of them strangers—that we're just constantly consuming other people's renditions of motherhood. And it's dizzying in terms of feeling comfortable and solid with your own decisions.” ~ Sara Petersen Momfluencers on social media are pervasive in today's culture, with focuses on everything from fashion, to parenting philosophies, to humor. It's interesting to see the impact of performative motherhood, both on practicing artists and mothers, how we present our private and public selves. And there's a lot to learn from Sara Petersen's work, especially as it holds a mirror to American motherhood in this particular socio-historical moment. Join Kaitlin as she talks with Sara, a writer based in New Hampshire, about momfluencers, as well as how she became the writer and mother that she is today. Sara's first book, http://sara-petersen.com/ (Momfluenced) examines the performance of motherhood through the multi-layered phenomenon of momfluencer culture, what this reveals about the texture of modern motherhood and what we might learn from it. Momfluenced will be coming out in 2023 with Beacon Press. Sara and Kaitlin talk about: How Sara became a writer and how she manages to juggle writing with motherhood. The early life experiences that informed Sara's views and fantasies of what motherhood should look like, in juxtaposition with the performative aspects of motherhood that she now unpacks in her writing. Momfluencer culture and it's different faucets and trends The broad spectrum of postpartum mood disorders and intense changes we experience after birth, plus how they are habitually glossed over and downplayed.

It's not often that a poet's first paid piece of writing jumps to the top of the New York Times bestseller lists. Kate Baer's did. Her first book, What Kind of Woman was published in 2020 and followed shortly by a book of erasure poetry, I Hope This Finds You Well (2021). Both tackle the underlying treatment of women and mothers in modern society.Even if you haven't picked up one of her books (yet), you've probably seen her work, which regularly goes viral online. She joins Kassia to talk about:• The slow burn of being lost, overwhelmed, and undervalued as a woman and mother• The unreasonable expectations that society places on women and the support it fails to provide • The unglamorous realities of writing (hint: lots of misogyny, failures, emotional labor, and some very expensive childcare)Like what you hear and want more?

Last week we dove down the rabbit hole of mental health Instagram. We're all in the midst of a mental health crisis right now and frankly we could all use a little help. While social media is often a major contributing factor, if not the source, of these mental health problems, there is also the flipside: comfort creators. These are the people who use social media to post content that you turn to when you are feeling down and need a pick-me-up. They are not necessarily there to give advice like the mental health influencers we covered last week, but instead to show you a picture of their fluffy dog or read you an uplifting poem that helps to release the stress you've been carrying all day. For this special bonus episode, Jo is joined by her comfort creator: the poet Kate Baer, whose poems helped Jo through the insanity of her postpartum time and still lift her up today.

Jen Hatmaker was famously married with children until she discovered she wasn't. Chosen by producer Tammy Stedman as her favorite conversation of Year One, here's Kelly and her friend Jen talking candidly about shock, tangled up losses of all kinds (financial, emotional security, sense of identity, futures you were counting on…) and the things you learn on the bounce back. This episode features the poem, “The Women Who Walk Us Home” by poet Kate Baer. If you love listening to Jen, you might also like hearing from Cecily Strong.

Kate Baer is a #1 New York Times bestselling poet and author of What Kind Of Woman, a book that Publishers Weekly describes as “ confident and fearless.” Her new collection of poems, I Hope This Finds You Well, is out this week and is inspired by critical messages and comments she has received over the past year, primarily on Instagram. Baer created the poems in the collection by deleting words from the original more-ugly messages such that what is left over is a poem. Erasure poetry is not new, per se, but in Baer's hands it to becomes a contemporary feminist vision that both explores and comments on what it means to be a woman in the twenty-first century. It's a deeply personal collection of poems, yet its also full of so much empathy that it can't help but be universal. In this episode, she chatted with David about the books inspire her the most. They discuss books that take risks, lit Twitter, comedy writing, a book about a hermit, and how we are all going to die. See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Kate reflects on what it really means to complain and Doree reveals that she cured her night terrors with romance novels. Then, poet Kate Baer (I Hope This Finds You Well) joins them to talk about which enneagram type is actually the worst, how she cares for her mental health when writing poetry as a career, and the vibrator that will make you hear a chorus of angels sing.

Hi there! New York Times bestselling author Kate Baer is today's podcast guest! I love her work and find it so moving, so I'm thrilled to have her. We discuss her writing process, how she started with erasure poetry, the work she did before coming a full-time writer, and the complicated emotions surrounding "mom guilt" as a working parent.

Bestselling poet Kate Baer has a beautifully truthful relationship with motherhood, with social media, with internet trolls, and with being a woman. It's wrestling with all of this that inspires her poetry, poetry women love (and some men are threatened by) because she tells the truth. Listen to how Kate uses her life, and her critics, to know her truth and develop her craft. It's incredibly brave. Among other topics, Jen and Kate also discuss: - How social media complicates creativity but also lead partially to Kate's new poetry book - Why "a-ha moments" may be a myth - How to not get a trapped in a certain medium - What lead her to write her newest book (hint: it wasn't what I thought!) --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/jennifer-louden/support
