About Youngna Park
About Making it Work
Making it Work is a long-form personal newsletter written by Youngna Park, with musings for parents, recommendations for kids, and trying to stay sane while raising children in the modern world. I hope it makes you feel slightly more reassured about whatever kind of parent or child-adjacent person you are in this world, and feel less anxious and more able to laugh at the absurdity of being a human raising another human every day.
Primarily essays composed of observations and experiences parenting my two children, this newsletter also marries my career and interests in children’s media, well-designed stuff, nature, books, photography, and experiments in personal narrative.
In addition to the every-two-weeks newsletter, Making it Work offers an extra bi-weekly list of recommendations that revolve around a theme (kids, home, podcasts, recipes, books, articles, etc. ).
It also includes bonus content, like Q + As, guest posts, and writing experiments, and access to the full archives, circa 2021.
