Unravelling: Seasons of Motherhood & Creativity with Lyndsay Kaldor

Unravelling with Lauren Barber

As I rebirth Unravelling into it’s latest iteration (forever shapeshifting and unfolding with my journey) — I am so excited to bring you this beautiful conversation with Lyndsay Kaldor.

Lyndsay is a mother, creative and storyteller with a background in interiors PR. Telling stories about spaces and the people who make them was at the heart of her role — this fostered her interest in the details of making a home and the part that our surroundings play in the way that we feel. Now a mother, she is creating a home as a foundation to nurture, a conduit of creativity and an anchor to her surroundings, as the seasons turn in her corner of the world.

Lyndsay writes the beautiful publication which is one of my absolute favourite things to read on Substack. You can dive into her beautiful writing here. You can also connect with her on Instagram here.

In this episode we discuss…

* Our dance with ‘winterspring’ — both internally and externally — and the uncertainty that comes when transitioning between seasons.

* How we have both honoured our seasons within Motherhood and how this has challenged and evolved our creativity.

* Softening to the many different seasons (seasons within seasons) and how they can enhance our experience of life, as well as provide a beautiful anchoring point, particularly in Motherhood.

* Lyndsay’s journey with writing, starting with her blog and evolving into her Substack Story & Thread — which is where we met — and how she has discovered the depth of community and connection.

* How unseen Motherhood and Creativity are, and how inspiring it has been to see other creative Mothers on Substack.

* A little more about our inaugural event for our collaboration Holding Stories, which will be taking place in London on 20th April. You can explore more here. We would love to share this with you if you feel called.

“I write to process, and note down this fragment of our lives at the moment. It helps me to make more sense of myself.” —Lyndsay Kaldor
