About This Podcast

The Creative Mother Podcast features interviews with creative women from a range of professions, who are also mothers. We will meet artists, designers, musicians, film makers, fashion designers and more, as we talk about the impact of motherhood on women, creativity and business. We hope through these conversations we can create an open and honest space to talk, share our stories and help creative mothers everywhere gain a feeling of community, understanding and inspiration.
