Ep 27: Creating in the Margins of Motherhood with Ashlee Gadd

“I truly believe that every single woman on this earth is a creative woman.”

Friend, do I have a treat for you! Our guest today is Ashlee Gadd, author of Create Anyway: The Joy of Pursuing Creativity in the Margins of Motherhood and founder of the online space Coffee + Crumbs. And let me tell you, I had the privilege of previewing Create Anyway and I am simply obsessed.

As a writer and photographer, Ashlee has spent her entire motherhood creating in the margins (anybody know that feeling?!) When she's not writing or vacuuming Cheerios out of the carpet, she loves making friends on the internet, eating cereal for dinner, and rearranging bookshelves.

I absolutely loved our conversation and I know you will too!


In this episode you’ll hear: 

🎨 The challenge of balancing creativity and motherhood

😴 Why rest isn’t just good – it’s necessary

💪 Overcoming perfectionism in the “messy middle”
