Friends, I created a podcast episode about the creative process I’ve used to write my book (and how you can use it in your everyday life). I cover:

• How to love the process of creating (instead of only ever shooting for the outcome)

• My joy-first approach

• The 3 guiding principles that have helped me develop a creative process for my book

Motherhood hurts so good.

It is a series of daily heartbreaks — watching your kids learn, fail, discover and hurt.

Am I heartbroken because they’re hurting or because they’re closer to not needing me?

And it’s simultaneously a series of heart explosions — watching your kids connect, care, laugh, experience.

Is my heart exploding because they’re growing or because they’re learning, and getting closer to not needing me?

Terribly written pieces can be beautiful, engaging stories, and beautifully written pieces can be boring, dry stories.

Understanding this helps to know how to “weight” your creative focuses when it comes to writing.

Stories! Stories! Stories!
