The Feminine Creative with Anna Lovind

Today on the show, Dr. Gertrude is joined by Anna Lovind, a feminist writer who believes in women’s creative freedom and the power of our voices and stories. Anna shares her story of how she left a career as an editor at a major publishing house, moved to the deep forests of Sweden and set out to build a business that supports her own and other women’s pursuit of a meaningful and sustainable creative life. Since then, she has published her book The Creative Doer - A Brave Woman's Guide from Dreaming to Doing, and she and Dr. Gertrude dive deep into feminine creative expression. They discuss why mothering is an often overlooked form of creativity, how to create in a world that’s designed for men, and share some motivation to finally start working towards those dreams of yours. 

Today on mot(HER):

• Why caregiving and mothering are overlooked as forms of creativity 
• How to work with your feminine energy in a masculine-centered world
• Why society only acknowledges forms of creation that produce income
• The evolution of homemaking and creative work for women historically 
• Why women tend to come into their power and create after childbearing years
