After her divorce, things were hard on her side. During an interview, Walsh said: “You know, it was, but I worked for myself at the time. I was really lucky in a couple of things: I was married, my then-husband really could support us— at least for a while— and then working for myself meant I could take four or five months off and then not really work full-time until I joined Salon when she was 8. Because I was self-employed I traveled, and there were weeks that I worked 80 hours but I didn’t work in an office, I worked at home”.

Joan Walsh feels happy to have a daughter

Walsh admits that raising a daughter alone wasn’t so easy. Moreover, she feels glad that she doesn’t have two kids. During an interview, she said: “I won’t say I found it easy because I didn’t. I think I would have been very challenged if I had two kids, so I’m lucky I only had one.’

Joan Walsh wants to be a granny

Walsh's only wish now is to become a grandmother but she doesn’t want to pressurize her daughter. Yes, you read that right. Walsh admitted it by herself. She said: ‘I don’t want to say there’s nothing left for me to do because that makes me superstitious and then bad things happen. I want to be a grandmother but that’s a lot of pressure on my daughter.’
