Welcome to The Mama Artist Podcast where I help creative mamas like you reclaim your artistic practice while embracing the beautiful chaos of motherhood. I'm Coco, your host and fellow mama artist. In this episode, I share my personal journey through the burnout cycle and what I've learned about protecting creative energy as a precious resource. Discover how to recognize your unique energy patterns, build essential boundaries, and cultivate realistic expectations that support your artistic practice. These strategies will help you establish sustainable creative rhythms that nourish rather than deplete you, even during the most demanding seasons of motherhood. Learn how to treat your creative energy with the same care and attention you give to your children.
