Your Parenting is Showing: Episode 7 - Dr. Sarah Green

On this episode, we chatted all sorts of things with our dear far flung friend Dr. Sarah Green. Sarah is a poet and professor of literature and creative writing at St. Cloud University in Minnesota. She is a stepmom of two great kids and a poetry mom to many more. The roots of this friendship go back to our days in Somerville, MA and you'll get plenty of Boston references. You'll also get to join us in a discussion of pandemic attention and creativity (or lack thereof), what we might keep and what we plan to toss away from pandemic times both literally from our closets (think pandemic liberation from button pants) and figuratively from our families, and parenting as improv. We talk about the power of being a "yes and" parent instead of a "no but" parent and the unexpected gift the pandemic has given Sarah of bonus parent leave. Molly gives us her theory of poets as historians from the future come into the present moment and Sarah reminds us of Molly's "Spring is not Safe" sermon, more true in 2020-21 than when she preached it years ago.

This episode will leave you wanting to know Sarah better.
