01. Becoming a parent who writes

Becoming a parent changes us in ways we could never imagine. We experience an inexplicably unique kind of love through our children. However, the 24/7 nature of parenthood can also challenge us physically, mentally, and emotionally, leaving us with little time to remember who we are beyond being a parent.
This is exactly what happened to the host of the Parents Who Write podcast, Erin P.T. Canning. After she set aside her creativity, she found herself slowly struggling more and more with feeling anxious, angry, overwhelmed, and unworthy, especially in her parenting.
No one should feel alone in their struggles. That’s why Erin created the Parents Who Write community, so she could share her own story and support others in owning and changing theirs too.
For writers like Erin, whose self-expression through writing is at the core of who they are, losing the time and confidence to write is equivalent to losing a part of themselves. In starting this podcast, Erin hopes to inspire others to start dreaming again and putting pen to paper.
Tune in to hear Erin’s emotional journey, from a 6-year period of anxiety and depression to rediscovering herself and her passion for writing!
