Mothers of Creativity
Mothers of Creativity is a podcast exploring how motherhood shapes and evolves creative careers.
Hosted by creative business advisor and artist manager Sabrina Sarl, the series features honest conversations with women working across the creative industries about ambition and career adaptation before and after becoming a mother. These story-led episodes explore the real shifts that happen behind the scenes, whether that be in pace, priorities, confidence, or creative voice, and the strengths that emerge.
The series was sparked by Sabrina’s own experience of leaving her job, starting her own business, and conceiving unexpectedly in the same week. A moment that led to a career unfolding in ways she could never have planned. Mothers of Creativity creates space for guests to share how their careers have evolved alongside motherhood, beyond clichés and limiting narratives.
This is an ongoing series for creative mothers and for anyone interested in how life experience shapes the way we work and define success.
Mothers of Creativity is produced by Claire Duncan.
