summary

In this episode of Parenting Creative, host Nikko Snyder speaks with poet, songwriter, teacher, and single parent of two Melissa Boulianne about the intersection of creativity and parenting. Melissa shares a lot of beautiful and vulnerable poetry on social media that explores her journey with single parenting and parenting a child on the autism spectrum. In their conversation they talk about the transition to single parenting, autism spectrum disorder, normalizing neurodiversity, living and writing with constant interruptions, using screen time to stay sane, learning to relent, confidence or lack thereof, when writing saves your life, and growing in ways you never imagined growing.

Parenting Creative explores the places where creative life and parenting collide, and all the magic and mess that ensues. Through deep, honest conversations with diverse artist-parents who are walking the walk, we explore both the struggles and the real, practical ways to make creativity and parenthood work—on your own terms, in ways that sustain and inspire you for the long haul. And we do it in community—because neither parenting nor creative life can thrive in isolation.
