What projects are you being called to bring to life?

07/20/2026

Six years ago, I started working for myself. The catalyst was my daughter. Becoming a first-time mom changed how I wanted to work.

Since then I've done my best to get out to attend events, to connect with people who make things. And two things kept happening:

Sometimes I'd look around and realize I was the only mother there. But more often than not, I'd add up the planning and coordination it would take just to attend, and it made more sense to stay home. The rooms simply weren't built with mothers in mind.

There are also plenty of rooms FOR mothers... But the conversations were often limited to wake times and BLW.

So this week I built the room instead. A gathering for entrepreneurial moms, designed around the reality of our lives.

When I first became a mom, I found that a lot of the rooms I was welcome to were all about the ins and outs of motherhood and babyhood-- NEEDED might I say!

But I also started to miss being part of conversations where the pace was slightly quicker. Where we were creating things. Bouncing ideas off one another. Launching our ideas.

I think you can have both.

Someone also shared with me that a great starting point would be to ask parents questions a different set of questions: What keeps you busy outside of work and kid-stuff?

So maybe i'll ask you that question.

What keeps you busy outside of work and kid-stuff?

One of my favourite pieces to date on Substack is about Creating Projects. I think they're one of the best ways to actively grow- while being present in your current stage.

For many people, our sense of identity becomes tightly bound to our careers or traditional roles. There's a longing within us all for something more expansive. Something that feels truly ours.

A meaningful project can be many things. It doesn’t have to be artsy in nature. Perhaps it’s an event that gathers a small community together, a small group meeting regularly at the local coffee shop, a ministry supporting a cause close to your heart, an Instagram account sharing the art that you create in the in-between moments, or even the beginnings of a new business.

A meaningful project, born out of genuine curiosity, generosity, and purpose, reaches beyond the confines of daily routines and expectations. It helps us remember our identity isn't limited to a job title or societal role.

What project could you begin that will help you feel fully alive?

🌱 GATHERINGS

I'm so excited to have more play dates with mom creatives and entrepreneurs.

These joint artists-dates have been a daydream of six years.

Over the years, I've yearned to be in rooms where people understood. Where we could bounce ideas off each other. Where we could share resources we've found. Where we could continue to learn and grow as moms AND as individuals.

Throughout late-night feedings, I've collected activities, spaces, and potential collaborators to create with.

I hope this encourages others to keep writing down your ideas and sharing them.

Let's create things together.

When I was growing up, what we did for work was separate from the rest of our lives. Physically separate and boxed away into another compartment.

That's just what I do, not who I am.

A lot has changed. Many people work remotely, have a portfolio career, or do a lot of different things: some to earn and some just because!

One of the best ways to diversify your work, career, or contribution into something that’s meaningful to you is to start talking about your “projects” online. Share about what you care about.

Projects tell others what you’re knowledgable about, what you care about, what you enjoy doing, WITHOUT making it seem like you only do one type of work. You’re not limited to a title, or a societal role.

Live integrated!

A case for exercising your creativity! And why moms (as full as their plates might be) probably need it most.

Despite the work that many don't recognize, women cultivators. We bring life into the world in countless forms. Noticing, tending, and shaping the people and the environments around us.

So much of the richest formation happens in those unseen moments. What is being cultivated within you? What are you being called to create and contribute?

Don't forget to water your own garden.

Make room to create. Start a project that sparks your curiosity, challenges your growth, and awakens your unique gifts. One that breathes life into your days and reveals something deeply true about who you are.

A meaningful project, born out of genuine curiosity, generosity, and purpose, reaches beyond the confines of daily routines and expectations. It helps us remember our identity isn't limited to a job title or societal role.

Exercising our creativity reminds us that we are still becoming too.

God delights in you!

Motherhood deepens creativity. To mother and to create is to be both generative and life-giving.

Third baby in, and we're out here re-learning the same lessons 😇

It seems those who work professionally in social media are the worst offenders of this...

So this morning we're back on the train of encouraging the act of creation whether or not you can "be consistent"

Admittedly, I am a liiiiittle bit nervous for everything to shake up once again as we welcome a new member of our family to the world this spring!

The daily rhythms have been more solid recently... But I truly love being home with them and creating within the margins as I am able. I will embrace every moment of this season with littles in the structured times and in the chaotic times!
