What does it mean to be a mum?
MG: Being a mum to me is a call to step into full power mode. I don’t think anyone gets it right, however, motherhood is an indescribable journey of juggling and loving. Forever learning when to serve and when to step back and allow the kids to figure it out for themselves. There are so many layers to motherhood. The gentle listener, the warrior, the intuitive protector, the unconditional love giver, the producer and the punching bag.
AF: Being a mother is everything to me, nothing comes before that. I could honestly stare at my son all day long, the biggest love of my life.
Who are some women you admire?
MG: Frida Kahlo, I have been obsessed with her work and tenacity since I was a child. Pussy Riot, who are a Russian feminist protest and performance punk rock art group. Helena Norberg - Hodge for her passion for the importance of localisation and connection to community. Local Politician and comedian Mandy Nola. All of my friends who inspire me every time I’m in their company. Oh and Patti Smith for obvious reasons.
AF: I have a very strong admiration for all the women I flock with - they are all mad creatives with passion & drive, wonderful admirable mothers & gentle souls. Very lucky to call them all my best friends.
