~ The Creative Mother Podcast ~

Welcome to the Creative Mother Podcast...
The Creative Mother Podcast features interviews with creative women from a range of professions, who are also mothers. We will meet artists, designers, musicians, film makers, fashion designers and more, as we talk about the impact of motherhood on women, creativity and business.
My hope is that through these conversations we can create an open & honest space to talk, share our stories and help creative mothers everywhere gain a feeling of community, understanding and inspiration.
