More proof that you can be a mom and do ALL the things!

"Genevieve LeDoux is an Emmy-winning producer and a true visionary in the world of content creation. She’s worked with big names like Mattel, Hasbro, WildBrain, Amazon, and Disney, and her creative touch has brought to life some of the most beloved kids’ shows like Tumbleleaf, Baby Einstein, Yo Gabba Gabba, and Barbie. Her background in performing and managing bands, along with watching how her own kids discovered music, led her to notice a gap between preschool music and what’s available for adults. That inspired her to make music a core part of the amazing content she creates.

Genevieve has a special gift for blending whimsy with meaningful stories that connect with people of all ages. She’s the creative mind behind Star Forest, an exciting world where music and imagination come together, and this project is all about her belief in the power of dreams and the magic of imagination.

Outside of her work, Genevieve loves spending time with her family, collaborating on projects with her husband Chris, a talented VFX artist, and finding inspiration in her kids. From playing in the backyard creek to family road trips, she believes in staying connected to her inner child, and it shows in everything she does.

She’s also a huge advocate for Georgia’s creative economy and is deeply involved in building up local talent. Her production company, Silver Comet Productions, works with some of Georgia’s best artists and thinkers. Genevieve also serves on the Board of Film Impact Georgia and is a member of WIFT, the Television Academy, and the Creators’ Society.

Her passion for storytelling and creativity drives everything she does, and her goal is to create experiences that entertain, inspire, and uplift audiences everywhere."

A new Star Forest album, Let Me Be Real will be released on September 26, 2024.

You know what I’m talking about—the projects that got set aside when the demands of motherhood took over, and now they’re just waiting, maybe even gathering a little dust, for us to find the time to get back to them.

I’m calling this episode “Reviving Old Projects: How to Rekindle Your Passion for Past Ideas.” Because let’s face it, as moms, our creative energy often gets put on the back burner. But today, we’re going to talk about how to reignite that spark and turn those unfinished projects into something that brings you joy and fulfillment.

So grab your coffee—or let’s be real, that cold cup that’s been sitting out all morning—and let’s chat about how to breathe new life into those creative endeavors.

Becoming a published children’s book author is truly her childhood dream come true. Before pursuing authorship, she worked in the world of real estate for several years, helping people find and build their new dream homes. She is an alumni of Missouri State University in Springfield, MO, where she studied Secondary English Education.

Madison currently lives in the vibrant beach town of Venice, Florida (the shark tooth capital of the world) with her husband and two adorable kiddos. 

Her debut picture book, Tiki Tim, was largely inspired by her experience as the "new kid" -- something she understands all too well, as she moved with her family 10 times across multiple states by the time she graduated high school. At the start of the new millenium, she spent some pretty formative years on the island of Oahu in Hawaii -- an experience that also majorly influenced the creation of Tiki Tim and his home of Adventure Bay.

Aside from writing fun, engaging children’s stories, she enjoys playing in the sunshine with her spirited girl and joyful boy, reading a suspenseful, edge-of-your-seat novel beachside or poolside, and flexing her creative passions in various forms (crafting, jewelry-making, sketching, you name it).

She is a gift-giver, a loyal friend, an ocean lover and a bit of a clean freak. She LOVES to read and believes one is never too old to enjoy the magic of a picture book.
