We’re hanging out with Leslie Gaar! Leslie’s writing has been published by The Washington Post, The Today Show, Buzzfeed, and Scary Mommy. She has worked with The Jim Henson Company, where she created and led Henson at Home, a campaign to help parents entertain their children during the pandemic. And she’s the host of My Effing Desk, a podcast where she and other artistic moms discuss how to create and keep their own space. In this episode we talk about how she created the opportunity to work with The Jim Henson Company, how she became a first-time teacher teaching in a second language, and how great her dog Flash is.
