Ani DiFranco on Being a Mindful Mama

[SusepCool]

can someone enlighten me to Ani's short story on the who's/how's she came to have her child....

[MelnIrie829]

shes so honest and real and beautiful.. her daughter is going to be so well guided!

[04ageekgirl]

I think it is incredibly interesting that this interviewer equated having a homebirth to fixing one's own toilet.

evolve

[threealone]

It's so funny... Ani seems uncomfortable at being interviewed by someone who obviously cannot relate to her. These two women have nothing in common.

[illfartonyourhead]

she creeps me the fuck out

[ValareePerlak36]

DL the audio from this song at speedyconversion doht cohm.

[savagembrace]

Broken tailbone?? Oh man...does anyone know what happened during her pregnancy to break her tailbone?

[jehovasha]

Being a mom sure does make you come face to face with your "womanness". I too was a real hard ass before my kids were born but now I'll cry at a commercial and am able to reflect on myself so much more honestly!! Ani said it so well!

[MrGorezilla]

Here's a bag made of trash... still smells of trash actually...

.. wow!

Haha

[mindrunfree]

Wonderful. I loved that about the redundancy of "mindful mama."

[toolbandsober]

I like how everything she hates (pre-mom or most- mom) is interviewing her. Ani totally takes control of this interview; which shows her experience in her own industry.

[daddycubjudah]

WoW! What is it that got hurt there?That's a really powerful question

[lheartlondon]

good interview

[vivianmari]

well to quote Ani "we never see things changing, we always see them ending". i guess thats why some are reacting :)

[amandiar]

I love what having a child has done to Ani. I loved her as a bad ass kick ass "I know what's right" woman, but she's grown up so much since she had her child.

I know there are people who are disappointed that she's not as aggressive and abrasive as she used to be, but I think she's learned that there's more than on way to get a point across.

[robbsclassics]

Wow, my ex and me had her midwife for my little righteous babe. I can see how you would think Ani would be strong.

[alasdeverdad]

Humility! that's the 'word' of what children brings you, Ani! So good to hear that honest & spontaneous statement from a popular woman. Well done to her and to EVERY MUM out there!!! Keep breathing sisters!! =)

[sandydoggy1234]

ani should'nt smoke a joint before the interview. You're out there hun. Stick to mindfulness.

[crystallinesanctuary]

and eloquent.

[crystallinesanctuary]

She is so wise.

[sugarmamapr]

Very cool, she continues to progress and heal and I just love it. I love her honesty. :)

Love Ani!
