The "I See You, Mama" podcast is a weekly (if the stars align and none of our kids get sick) conversation with women who are doing the work of motherhood. We go deep, we get to the good stuff. We may be folding laundry mountain, driving carpool, or have a spare moment but in the crazy work of motherhood, we are making sure we are feeding our own souls. This is the good stuff. We laugh. We cry. We lay it all out there.
Flo Paris Oaks is a woman of many talents and creative outlets. She is a writer, a singer, a songwriter, a homeschooler and much more. This episode, host Ariana Evans and Flo get to talk about her work and writing for A Rocha. https://arocha.us

We work in both sub/urban and rural contexts to help restore and maintain healthy ecosystems through a hands-on, community-based approach. Flo gets to be a part of the writing of A Rocha's curriculum for children.
