Welcome to the Mother Artist Diaries!
AKA: a series of candid conversations about the creative process with my real friends. No scripts. No fuss. No camera crews. This is just us, chatting on Zoom, about all the things.
Mother Artist Diaries:
Creating in Community
Join Ashlee and her real-life mastermind group (Katie Blackburn, Sonya Spillmann, & Sarah Hauser) for an honest conversation about collaboration, vulnerability, and friendship.
Mother Artist Diaries: Keeping Your Creative Spark Alive
Join Ashlee, Laura Wifler, and Gretchen Saffles for a candid conversation about burnout, boredom, the art of the creative pivot, and how to keep your creative spark alive, especially when creativity is part of your day job.
Mother Artist Diaries: Abundance Over Scarcity
Join Ashlee Gadd and Rachel Marie Kang for a conversation about the myth of scarcity, and a much-needed reminder that there is enough room in the world for you—and your creative gifts. Mentioned in this video: Rachel’s book you are guaranteed to love, Let There Be Art.
Nothing beats a word-of-mouth recommendation
If you’re passionate about the intersection of motherhood & creativity, would you be willing to help spread the word about Create Anyway?
“I'd have to write a memoir to share all the ways Create Anyway stirred up truth in me, sent tears streaming down my cheeks, awakened gently my heart's dormant hope. I have never felt so seen and understood by someone I've never met, who, through utmost tenderness, stretched her arms between paragraphs and gathered me close. Every quiet ache as a mother and artist felt witnessed and healed by someone who clearly gets it—all of it, and more.”
