New Podcast: Raising Creative Kids

This season is all about Creativity. As I was planning this season, I really wanted to include some conversations about raising creative kids. As a public school teacher, I’ve seen kids with lots of creative energy and some who would avoid any creative task. So I asked some friends to talk to me about raising their creative kids.

In this conversation with Dalis of Dancing Leaf Dyeworks, Lisa and Dalis talk about raising creative boys, being part of a creative family and as usual there is a fun exercise for you and your family can try to build your creative muscle.

Special Podcast: Who Are You Now?

It’s been 18 months or so since our world turned on its head. As a small business owner, my day to day world really didn’t change all that much. I still worked from home. I still worked by myself. As an introvert, I didn’t mind being by myself.

First Hat I Designed in 2015ish

But what did change was DH working from home. The small business opportunities that I depended on were cancelled. I needed to pivot my business tasks to reflect the world.

But now that things are opening up, my friends and I are starting to wonder, will we just go back to the way it was? Or are we indelibly changed? Will we become a combination of the old and the new in our new world.

So listen and and let me know what you think your new normal will be. Click here to listen or subscribe on iTunes or Spotify.
