Über diesen Titel

They say it takes a village to raise a child…and if your village mostly looks like group chats, voice notes, and Googling things at midnight, you’re in good company.

Here on Drafting Motherhood with Micaela Burnham, I share my personal experience as a mom of two toddlers to illustrate the oh-so-glamorous side of motherhood. You know, the hormonal rollercoasters, trying to relearn who you are after having kids, and starting your village from scratch.

This show is not about the tales of Pinterest-perfect parenting. These are the real stories we share with friends while sitting on their couch at 9 am. Sipping our reheated coffee, helping fold the laundry that's piled up. And we talk about everything and nothing while the kids are in the other room, dumping the toy box out.

This show is a community space. Through the podcast email, draftingmotherhoodpod@gmail.com, moms can submit things like

-Personal motherhood stories (funny, happy, insane...SEND EM ALL BABY)

-Wisdom you’d like to share with other moms

-Seeking advice on specific topics

And the best part is? This is all completely anonymous!

The goal of the show is to remind moms that, if you’re going through it, chances are another mom somewhere out there is, too. (Que-“We’re All in This Together”)

So whether you’re pregnant, raising toddlers, deep in the teenage years, or a seasoned mom with wisdom you wish someone had told you sooner, have a seat, sis. Share your stories, your advice. Help the rest of us survive this beautiful, exhausting, hilarious ride called motherhood.

  • Creating Through Grief: A Mother’s Journey Into Writing & Healing

    Creating Through Grief: A Mother’s Journey Into Writing & Healing
    Apr 21 2026

    TW: grief, loss of a parent

    Today’s episode is a deeply personal one.

    In this episode, I share how becoming a writer wasn’t born from a lifelong dream, but from a quiet nudge I'd felt after having my first daughter. But that nudge unfortunately collided with a moment that changed my family's lives. After the unexpected loss of my father-in-law, and alongside my best friend experiencing the same of heartbreak of having lost her own father, I found myself searching for words to explain grief to my children… before I had even processed it myself.

    What I discovered was the power of shared grief. The way stories, connection, and creation can hold us when nothing else can.

    This episode is about learning to create in the middle of chaos. About building something meaningful while navigating motherhood, healing, and learning to accept the uncertainty. About honoring the people we’ve lost by choosing to keep going, even when the path forward feels unclear.

    It’s also the beginning of something new: the story behind The Quiet Bloom Press, a dream built in nap times, late nights, and in-between moments of real life.

    If you’ve ever felt the pull to create but didn’t know where to begin…if you’re carrying grief and trying to find beauty inside it…or if you just need a reminder that you don’t have to have it all figured out to start…this one’s for you.

    We’re in this together. 🤍

  • A Mom’s Therapy Journey: From Survival Mode to Main Character Energy

    A Mom’s Therapy Journey: From Survival Mode to Main Character Energy
    Apr 14 2026

    Now boarding a direct flight to your main character energy… please check all emotional baggage (and loose rocks??) at the gate.

    For years, I was living like the supportive best friend in my own life; self-aware, giving great advice, and emotionally…unavailable to myself. lol. love that.

    In this episode, I’m getting into how therapy, specifically EMDR and somatic work, helped me stop intellectualizing my feelings and actually feel them—aka step out of survival mode and into my own life.

    We’re talking trauma, generational patterns, unpacking the baggage we’ve gotten way too comfortable carrying… and why “main character energy” isn’t about being self-absorbed or having it all together, it’s about finally showing up in your own life.

    Because if we don’t deal with our stuff, we pass it down. Unintentionally. Inevitably.

    So yeah, plot twist of this century: this is our life. We might as well play the lead.
