How often do we feel the pressure of a time limit allow us to feel like we have got lost in the race or on the journey? I can have this thought surface often. But what if we re-framed this, recognising that when we can abandon the idea of those arbitrary time limits, we could actually focus on walking out our own unique adventure?   I believe it would it release us from a fair amount of that stres...

As human beings we love story, it's often how we process our experiences, and is usually the most effective catalyst for empathy. So how does knowing what kind of stories matter most to us, help us be more connected to our artistry and motherhood? Support the show If you would like to support the podcast, you can do so here!

How often are we gripping ideas so tightly that we are afraid to question them in case our worlds fall apart? Or perhaps we are just nervous of what a change in direction direction might mean. I think that when we hold things lightly and remain open to growth, we find ourselves freer to move and follow the joy in our relationships and within our creativity.

How often do you find yourself saying no to things which potentially scare you, or which you think might make you look foolish? How often as a parent do you find yourself bandying around the dreaded 'NO' word more than you like? I know the struggle is real people! But there is a real joy to be found in saying yes, and by allowing ourselves to be more playful, we can actually deepen our c...

How often have you been to a production of Shakespeare and thought it sounded very Shakespearean but didn't really understand a lot of what was going on? We have a sort of impression that Shakespeare has to sound a certain way to be done right, but this isn't true, but instead often puts up a barrier between the company and the audience,  and gets in the way of our connecting with the st...

Do you ever feel like time is running out and you are going to miss your chance to be successful? Does that pressure mean that you are often struggling to make meaningful work? I suggest in this episode that we should throw out the clock and ignore its voice, in favour of leaning in to the present.

How often do we stop to consider how we make our moves as mothers?  Just as we can approach the moves of our character on stage intuitively from the inside out, or externally based on the outside picture it makes,  we can approach motherhood the same way. It's all a search for resonance, truth, clarity and what is right for each individual. Support the show If you would like to support the po...

How often have you heard words to the effect, that to praise someone would give them a big head? And how often has timely, honest, encouragement been exactly what you needed to keep going and take new ground? In this episode, I talk about how as artists and mothers we have the tremendous opportunity to  encourage our children and our fellow artists, enabling them to discover greater clarity and el...

How can we connect with our creative inner world, if we are charging about like headless chickens, too stressed out and busy to give room for creative ideas to grow and develop? We can't really, so we need to slow down long enough to catch the inspiration. The same goes for growing and developing our relationships.

How often have you heard this statement? I have heard it many times, but I would like to suggest that it's meaning is not as simple as it implies... perhaps there is something deeper at the heart of this statement that we can connect with.

How on earth can we fit the continuing of our professional development, in amongst the day to day of a full on mothering? The only way I know, is to do lots of little, incremental bursts throughout the day to day... it keeps your skills sharp and builds connection with your kids at the same time. Whilst this can feel hugely insufficient, I think that if we can learn to shift our perspective, we wi...

We may feel like life should follow a clear path with a direct trajectory to growth, fulfillment and purpose, yet in reality, it's more like a random series of connections that don't give us much of a clue to the life we are forming. Maybe you, like me, are someone who loves to connect those dots, but sometimes worries about the lack of a clear path. Join me, Cassie Hubert, as I explore...
