Jennifer Steinman Sternin is an award-winning filmmaker with over 20 years of experience in television and film, and she joins Mallory in the MILK Studio.

Jennifer talks about trusting the creative process to do its magic, growing up with strong female entrepreneurial artists as role models, becoming a single mother by choice, and how that decision changed her life and her work.

Evan, in addition to being a fantastic father, has a long arm to ensure a proper family pic. ❤️

Yesterday I ran the Brooklyn Half Marathon. It had been a long time since I had run this kind of mileage (like 20 + years), and I had made it a goal this past spring to train for it, 1.) to see if I could do it, and 2.) to do something productive for my mental and physical health. So many things have gone haywire over the past few years. Plans, professional goals, personal stuff, terrible world events, politics, etc. I had taken a break from making a podcast about moms that inspired me because it became untenable to do so during the pandemic and beyond. Besides the practical piece of creating “content” more of less without compensation, the lack of desire to promote myself, and a shift in how i relate to this new phase of being a mother to my own children - these have all been factors in my decision to cease making MILK podcast. I’ve gotten into many other ways to connect with inspiring people in my community since then, and this race was a goal that used a totally different part of my brain to prepare for, and I’m so glad I did it. Watch this space for the next move from MILK Productions and enjoy some images from yesterday where I cheesed out and high-fived people and cried rounding the corner to the finish line. #milkproductions #momsidliketoknow
