Quickening Is Here! ✨ 💛 ⚡️

Come and get her!

Quickening means “to come to life.” It’s the moment a mother first feels her baby move inside her. It also means “to shine more brightly.”

Every time you let your imagination wander, pay attention to your heart, play, ask questions, experiment, and discover meaning and magic in the noise, your creativity quickens.

When we make space for creativity, we glow a little brighter.

Quickening is an invitation to reconnect with your creative spark—even when life feels overwhelming. Inside you’ll find essays, poems, journal prompts, mantras, and quotes that will help you explore the qualities shared by creative mothers and discover how you can make them a part of your daily life.

Readers are saying…

“This book connected me to so many things I have been feeling, thinking, and wondering. It helped me feel less alone.”

“Every single mother should read this. I felt seen, held, and healed. I’m so excited to put all of the creative exercises into practice! Heidi had so many fresh ideas that I’d never seen before.”

“A beautiful and valuable book that avoids cliché and glibness.”

“This would be a perfect postpartum gift. It has beautiful quotes and realistic advice on how to hold on to yourself as you’re expanding as a new mom.”

Thank you!

It’s incredibly exciting to see this book transform into something that’s not just mine and see how it becomes yours! Describing this book feels like talking about a dream or a poem. I can tell you what it’s about in a sentence or two, but beyond that, you need to experience it yourself. Part of the magic is making your own connections and finding the parts you resonate with the most. Every person who has read a Mothers Who Make interview has shared in this project. The conversations we’ve had here and offline have shown me there’s an enthusiastic audience for this book, and I’m so happy to finally be able to share it with you.

I hope this book will help you make space for your dreams. The world needs your art. You do too.
