Thank you for this! I am realising I am and have always been a creator. I never thought I had ideas or anything worth while but I do and writing since having kids has made me feel more like me
You are not alone! Becoming a mom has made me more ambitious and helped me take my ideas more seriously. We are using our creativity every day in motherhood, and it's inevitably going to make us better creatives.
“...creativity is not about having a finished product or a certain outcome, creativity is about the process. Creativity is about how you feel while you are in the process of making something.” So good! Thank you, Emma!
That’s a REALLY important reminder. It’s tempting for me to put creativity in a box. “This is creative, and all these other things are not”, just to get some sense of order, you know? But so many more things in life have the potential to be creative when I choose to see them that way. And it costs me nothing to see them that way. Talk about ROI!

This mindset can make anything feel more creative too 🙌

Thank you for reading!
Definitely easier said than done when you’re in “gotta check this off my list” mode but it can be a secret source of joy!
Hi Heidi! I love the emphasis on "Play" and the healing benefits therein. Great interview/article. :) -Kay
