While I celebrate Patricia Clarkson and her decision to live a sexy-ass life without a husband or children, I want to leave space for the idea that a married mother could do the same damn thing.
"Like all of my generation, I came of age during second-wave feminism. I was raised with the idea that women could have it all, not really understanding that it mostly applied to white, attractive women of a certain income."
Great callout! And a very good piece. I think this will help a lot of folks out.
I loved that Patricia Clarkson headline and article and truly believe any woman can wake up in stilettos (metaphorically for me, cause they hurt) if she so chooses, married, mothered, or otherwise. It did take a divorce for me to find myself again, but kudos to women who have worthy partners who share the load and aren’t afraid of strong women with powerful voices. Looking forward to reading more of your work! (I’m friends w Krista)
Thank you for sharing and congrats on finding yourself!!! I did a lot of digging deep during divorce. I think we come out better when we examine ourselves and what we want. Glad to have you here and reading 🙏

Congrats to you on navigating that crazy middle ground and finding ways to honor yourself while pursuing motherhood!
