I love all of this! Thank you all for sharing your lives, stories, and amazing talent/gift/work with all your readers. Each and every essay, podcast, post has blssed me, encouraged me, and reminded me that I not alone.
Congratulations on a decade!! C+C has been such a blessing in my motherhood journey. I'll never forget listening to the first podcast episode back in 2017 and feeling for the first time like I wasn't alone ❤️
Happy Birthday C+C! I’ll never forget the day a friend sent me a link to the C+C podcast—and interview with Elise Cripe about working motherhood. I was in the weeds of postpartum depression and was struggling to find my footing as a work-from-home mom without childcare. I listened on a walk and felt, for the first time since becoming a mother 9 months prior, like I wasn’t alone in the struggle. Such a gift you ladies are to the Internet 💛
Wow. What a joy this was to read! Sitting in the car after a trip to the zoo, 1 year old sleeping, 3 year old in a chill mood so instead of hauling all the things inside, I choose to chill myself: “Emi want to listen to music?” “MY LITTLE PONY??” “Sure why not?” 😂 Perfect time to read and relax. And wow, it’s really fascinating seeing what 10 years of life brings.. and how fast I’m sure time flies! Since I’m closer to the starting line of motherhood, your writing helps me appreciate the season I’m in and also have faith that the harder parts of this season will pass. Love to you all!
Happy birthday C+C! I loved reading this then & now reflection, and am so thankful for all the ways C+C has been a part of my motherhood journey—all the beautiful essays, incredible podcast episodes, and, of course, Exhale!
So much has happened and changed in these 10 years! But also, so much has stayed the same - the beauty and honesty you’ve offered over the years has been a constant. The writing and conversations I’ve soaked up over the past ten years have profoundly shaped my motherhood and I’m so grateful I found this wonderful corner of the Internet. Happy Birthday C+C!!
How beautiful to share then vs. now! I am so grateful to all who have shared their stories over the years. I am pretty sure I found C+C even before I became a mother, but even then so much of it resonated with me. It is invaluable to know that other moms feel or have felt the same way I do at various times, and they have the courage to share it.
And after 10 years there are still mothers to reach, share stories, bring connection and hope and a laugh - I have not found a more authentic reach of words for this motherhood season - and I'm only a beginner on these pages of reading and writing. Thank you for sowing for 10 years.
so grateful for all of you and the beautiful work you’ve done through C+C! i’ve only been a mother for 2 1/2 years, but i’m so, so grateful you’ve all been there through all of it. the words of the podcast filled my early months of postpartum, and the words i read in each of the essays are such a balm to my soul. happy birthday, C+C!
Reading this with two littles of my own, and seeing through your writing how quickly they transform into teenagers and adults, makes my heart squeeze! How fast it all flies by. Thank you for consistently showing up to the paper (legal pad or google doc ☺️)
This summer marks 6 years since a friend gifted me The Magic of Motherhood when I was pregnant with our first: twins! Six years and four kids later, I haven’t missed even one episode of the podcast and try to read most essays. You have offered me perspective, camaraderie and laughter in my motherhood journey. Thank you!
