Appreciate you’re already thinking about how to hold space for your wife as she heals - post partum is no joke. Whenever you see ready to talk and process, link me. I don’t really have advice, but here to support you on this journey. You’re doing a great job!

Emily, thank you so much!! Haha yes fatherhood is very interesting lol time is so much more precious and in finding how precious silence can be lol but it’s so worth it. Seeing him smile and move. I think the biggest thing I’m learning is how to approach art and my life with wonder like a kid again!

Thanks so much Marco! Would love to chat more on how you’re finding some type of balance or rhythm in all

This. I start accepting work again in July and I’m scared lol cause my time is even more limited now and I don’t want to leave my wife at home too long with Joziah. I want to make sure she also has time to rest and recover. But as a freelance, I gotta get back to work soon! It’s been a nice 2 months I’ve been off tho!
