Read excerpt
We move into the new house next week. It’s big. It’s beautiful. It is nothing like the home I ever pictured raising my son in.I stood in the empty living room and the first thing that popped up was: is this me?Does a house define me? Does my son’s school? The number of presents under the tree, the size of the birthday party, which children come for the playdate?

Get ready! This is the first Both And newsletter written not only by me, but also by my partner in crime in all things motherhood and ambition: Anushka. We've been co-researchers on this topic for over a year now, and since early 2026 co-hosts of the Motherhood in Motion podcast. Today we're both here. It felt like the right moment.I’ve been writing Both And for two and a half years. About seasons. About identity. About the version of yourself that motherhood reveals. I’ve been consistent - exce
