It’s Giving Crystal Visions and Creative Callings with Blair Shadows

In this episode of It’s Giving Motherhood, we welcome the mystical and wildly talented Blair M. Shadows, author of the Crystal Iris series. Blair crafts emotionally rich, fate-entwined romances that tug at your heartstrings and remind you of the beauty in breaking down and building yourself back up.

We talk with Blair about the real-life magic behind her writing journey — from finding time to write in the chaos of motherhood to redefining her creative identity as a mom. She opens up about the gritty, vulnerable, and powerful moments that led to her debut series and the lessons she hopes her children (and our listeners) take away from seeing her chase her dreams.

✨ In this episode, we talk about:

When the dream of writing Crystal Iris first sparked

How motherhood reshaped her relationship with creativity and storytelling

The emotional evolution of claiming “writer” and “mother” as equally powerful identities

Tips for carving out time for creative work (even when life is messy)

Why it’s never too late — or too busy — to chase the fire in your chest
