Thanks for the intro about it taking two years for you to get this newsletter running.
I had the idea for mine (“I Love This Book,” conversations with non-white, non-male readers about a story they love and how it intersects with their identity) two years ago, too. I was pregnant and unemployed and bored and anxious, and I just couldn’t make myself schedule my first interview before my baby was born (in September 2021). Then I stayed home with her, until last month. And now two years later, I find myself, again, pregnant and unemployed and bored and anxious, and I’ve been WRACKING my brain about how to finally make myself schedule that interview before Little Sister arrives at the end of May.
I hope TCF can help give you the push you want, Chelsea! But I think you should also be kind to yourself. You're in a very exhausting and demanding stage of mothering. But we're all rooting for you!
Great interview! Corliss's story is truly inspiring. This resonated with me deeply, as a fellow entrepreneur/consultant/mom: "To say that running your own business (along with additional contract work) and raising a child is 'challenging' is an understatement.... You can only do so much multitasking, but something always ends up falling to the wayside as a result."
Effective multitasking is a myth for me. I've been trying to accept that sometimes things take longer than I'd like, by remembering that they must be worth the wait! (Two years was well worth it, Kim! ❤️)
Keep sharing people's stories. I love the everyday inspiration from everyday people. Thank you.

Maybe this newsletter will help. 🙂
