Description

Oh hi! I'm Kelli, a children’s book author, artist, mom of two, and I'm writing my first novel. This show is for moms who feel that pull toward creativity and want to make space for it again. I talk with self-published authors, New York Times bestsellers, artists, and everyday moms pursuing their creative passions. We talk about writing, art, motherhood, and living an intentional life rooted in purpose and joy. I'm glad you're here! This is the Moms Who Create Podcast.
