For our 100th episode, Ashley sits down (in person!) with longtime friend and poet Megan (Meg) Leonard to talk about the beginnings of AND/BOTH, the early days of motherhood, and the stubborn, beautiful work of staying true to yourself when life keeps changing. From stroller walks and kindergarten drop-offs to building creative work in the cracks of a very full life, this episode is a love letter to friendship, identity, and choosing what actually works for you.
In the first part of this conversation we cover:
- Finding your people in the lonely early seasons of motherhood
- Building a creative life alongside caregiving and paid work
- The tiny windows of time that move big projects forward
- “Ghost in a meat suit on a space rock” energy—picking what matters
- Why one good friend can be more than enough
