Welcome to a brand new series, Invitation to Play!

In this episode, Janice shares the heartfelt story behind Hamletta Studios — how it began as a simple desire to make art just for fun during a busy season of life. Through her journey of rediscovering creativity after becoming a mom, she explores what it truly means to play as an adult and why creativity doesn’t need to be productive to be meaningful.

✨ You’ll hear:

• How play reconnects us with our truest selves

• Why productivity culture keeps us from creative freedom
