Episode #49: "We Need to Pick the Things That Matter" with Amanda Robertson, Engineer, Dancer, Mother & Artist Artwork

The Working Mother Experience

It's The Working Mother Experience podcast. Weekly, we will alternate between interviewing the artists (it could be you) and discussing hot topics related to working and mothering. We promise, it will lift your spirits, make you laugh and think, and deeply connect you to your experience and the experience of other working mothers. The Working Mother Experience inspires ambitious women to honestly and creatively share what it means to work and mother. Our goal is to collect and compile 250 pieces of individual art, painted by working mothers around the globe, to showcase the richness and diversity of what it means to mother and work.

Episode #49: "We Need to Pick the Things That Matter" with Amanda Robertson, Engineer, Dancer, Mother & Artist

August 28, 2024 • Working Mother Experience

Meet Amanda Robertson, engineer, dancer, mother, and artist.

Amanda participated in one of The Working Mother Experience's virtual workshops through the organization Pros and Babes (https://www.prosandbabes.com/), creating a beautiful piece of original art in community with women that she has grown to know and call her community over the last 6 years.

Amanda reminds us of the beauty of motherhood; of growing a human and the majesty of surrendering to your child as they grow and develop their sense of self and autonomy.

She shares her morning routine, including her writing prompts that she uses to regularly check in with herself to ensure she's optimally functioning and moving through each day.

Amanda's intentionality, creativity, and honesty are inspiring, reminding us of so many beautiful moments as mothers and the need to ensure we remain connected to our creative selves. And that we need to pick the things that matter!

Thank you, Amanda, for your artistry, time and passion. It was such a pleasure!
