In this special bonus episode of Postpartum Production, we’re sharing a live conversation recorded at LANEY & LU in Portsmouth, New Hampshire.

Hosted by Meg Leonard, author of Book of Lullabies, and this incredible essay Being a Writer Shouldn’t Require me to Exist Without My Children, and Jennifer Desrosiers, Founder of LANEY & LU and Altitude Companies, the event features our own Kaitlin Solimine in conversation with Minna Dubin, author of Mom Rage: The Everyday Crisis of Modern Motherhood and guest of the podcast in Season 2.

Minna reads an excerpt from her acclaimed book and discusses the cultural and emotional landscape of maternal anger. Kaitlin shares a sneak peek of her forthcoming, unpublished work—reading a powerful passage and reflecting on the complexities of creative life in the wake of motherhood.

Their conversation explores the intersections of motherhood, labor, creativity, rage, and productivity culture, offering a rare glimpse into the emotional and creative truths of modern parenthood.
