Rare Mamas Rising Episode 51- The Making of the Rare Mamas Book

In this episode of Rare Mamas Rising, host Nikki takes listeners behind the pages of her upcoming book, Rare Mamas, to share how the writing journey mirrored the rare parenting journey in powerful and unexpected ways. Through honest storytelling, she unpacks the highs, the lows, and the lessons that connect directly to life as a rare mama.

In this episode, Nikki shares:

  • The hardest and easiest chapters to write— from reliving the grief of “D-Day” to finding hope in Rising to the Call, the chapter that inspired the name of this podcast.
  • The easiest and hardest parts of the process— how writing drew on Nikki’s creativity, career, and even her improv training, while publishing tested her patience and reminded her of the difficulties of rare parenting.
  • Unexpected lessons in calling and community— the reminder that doing good doesn’t mean it’s easy, the importance of going back to your “why,” and the gift of community and sisterhood that makes the journey possible.
