103: Rebecca Potts - artist, teacher, mom of kindergartener in Los Angeles

As an urban mom in California, Rebecca and I have vastly different lives, but still found plenty in common to talk about!

In this episode, Rebecca describes how she is making room for “school” while she and her husband work from home in their 2-bedroom apartment. We also talk about the challenges she’s expecting for her daughter, who will be using an ipad and chromebook for school, and isn’t familiar with either of them. But my favorite part of the conversation was discussing ways to foster creativity in children.
