When you became a Mum, did your identity change? Did the things you used to love doing get put on the back burner? Of course they did, you had kids! If you’re like me, the things you used to do didn’t quite fit anymore, because your whole life and how you see it, changed. 

You are worthy of doing the things that LIGHT you up. Creative things. Writing, drawing, painting, dancing. Whatever it is, let’s unlock your CREATIVE JOY!

In this episode I speak with Renae Fieck, host of the Rising Moms podcast, and she is all about embracing the new person we are, creativity included. 

Enjoy
