103. Cultivating Creative Friendships

Making Motherhood with Rylee Hitchner and Joanna Ballentine is a podcast for creative mothers. Whether you are a declared, accomplished artist or a private artist that is fully content with keeping your creativity inside of the walls of your home, we believe being a mother can help you thrive in your creativity and being a creative can help you thrive in your mothering. As we meet here, we will be inviting artist mamas to share their stories. We’ll talk about how they artfully blend creativity and nurturing, craft and calling. You’ll also hear episodes with just Rylee and Joanna sharing personal experiences and insight. In the telling of these stories, we hope to celebrate and showcase the many ways you can be a mom and a creative.
