In this soulful and energizing episode, we explore the often-overlooked connection between motherhood and creativity. Vanessa and Carrie dive into how play, imagination, and desire aren't just nice-to-haves , they’re vital lifelines for feeling alive.

We unpack what it means to be in relationship with the unknown, why reclaiming your creative spark takes real courage, and how your desire to want again is a powerful sign of your re-emergence after burnout.

Vanessa also shares a personal story about losing and rediscovering her creativity through motherhood, and how it led to the creation of her Instagram and, ultimately, the Mama Healing Hub.

✨ In This Episode, We Cover:

• Why creativity isn’t about perfection it’s about aliveness

• How play and imagination get buried in motherhood, and how to unearth them again

• The courage it takes to let yourself want after years of self-sacrifice

• Creativity as connection: with your children, your body, and your deeper self

• Personal stories from our own creative awakenings including dance routines to Backstreet Boys and homemade sitcoms
