Welcome to The Mama Artist Podcast where I help creative mamas like you reclaim your artistic practice while embracing the beautiful chaos of motherhood. I'm Coco, your host and fellow mama artist. In this episode, I share strategies for maintaining your creative connection during life's inevitable disruptions, those seasons when every carefully crafted routine falls apart. Having lived through creative seasons derailed by family illness, loss, and major life changes, I've learned that adapting to chaos rather than fighting against it can transform your relationship with your creative practice.
Learn how to identify specific types of chaos and develop targeted strategies, create a micro practice toolkit for high disruption periods, and shift your mindset to see disruptions as natural parts of your creative journey rather than obstacles. Discover why the most sustainable creative practices aren't those requiring perfect conditions, but those that bend rather than break when life happens.
