Podcast Club for Caregiving Creatives — Village Voices by IDSA MSP & Women in Design NYC
Balancing a design career with the realities of caregiving is a journey no one should walk alone. Whether you are navigating new parenthood, raising growing children, or caring for aging or dependent loved ones, join us for our next Village Voices gathering as we bring together our design community of caregivers.
This session is a “Podcast Club” focusing on the theme: Balancing a design career and family life. It’s like a book club, but for podcasts—designed to be completely accessible so you can tune in at your own pace while multitasking throughout a busy day.
When we meet virtually, we will all get to share our reflections. All stories are different, and all voices are valued. Our goal is to create a safe, non-judgmental space to process both the emotional landscapes and day-to-day logistics of balancing a design career with family needs.
