ABOUT THIS PODCAST 🔗
Parenting Creative is a podcast that explores the places where creative life and parenting collide, and all the magic and mess that ensues.
Our goal is to build community and connection for those living deep in the struggles of caring for others while at the same time prioritizing their own creative lives.
Through deep, honest conversations with diverse artist-parents who are walking the walk, we explore both the struggles and the real, practical ways to make creativity and parenthood work—on your own terms, in ways that sustain and inspire you for the long haul. And we do it in community—because neither parenting nor creative life can thrive in isolation.
