Chelsie Washington of Weird Mom Podcast, shares how she embraces her quirks, her idiosyncrasies, and her "weird" as guidance for creating a philosophy and practice of mother work that feels empowering.

Our conversation covers:

Chelsie's mothering philosophyHow her community supported her matrescence, or transition into motherhoodThe grief she worked with as a new mother and wrote about in MotherlyHow she encourages critical thinking with her son through her mothering styleHow she centers herself in her life separate from her roles to othersWhy she started Weird Mom podcast and how she sees it serving the mothering community

After a couple of years of admiring other podcasts, Chelsie Washington finally decided to take a chance and make her own. In the middle of the night one day at the beginning of the pandemic, Weird Mom Podcast was born out of the desire to shed light on the little known things people just don't normally talk about when it comes to parenting. Outside of hosting and producing her own podcast, Chelsie is a wife to her high school sweetheart and mother to one fun, four-year-old boy. Even though she holds those roles while also working a full-time job, Chelsie still manages to find time during the week to enjoy her rekindled love of rollerskating.
