Have you ever considered the duality of a parent and a child and what they can learn from each other? In this episode, Camille welcomes Rupa Mehta, the author of Someone Calls Me Mommy, an illustrated book with poems about early motherhood that helps capture the precious fleeting moments between a mother and a child.

"I think in those moments I wanted to remember her point of view, hers is going to be different than mine and I don’t have to project that onto her. So, we can both live in this dual experience together." – Rupa Mehta

Rupa shares her journey in writing her book after dealing with her mother's loss and daughter's birth at the same time. She dives deep into how both a mother and child can learn from each other in order to build a stronger mutual connection.

"If you give yourself the space to share openly or say like, "Hey, we both have emotional and physical weight that weighs us down," then you start the pathway to connecting." – Rupa Mehta

If you're interested to learn about how you can build a deeper connection with your child, tune into this episode to hear Rupa's advice on how you can deal with motherhood through both teaching and learning.

"I'd want this book to be a fresh take on motherhood, that motherhood and childhood experience, that duality of it linking them together more powerfully beyond the mommy and me pajama set I think is a really beautiful aim for us as a society to go towards." – Rupa Mehta:
