You Are More Creative Than You Think

What does it mean to be creative? Do YOU think you're creative, or do you consider yourself to do creative things? Most of us, at some point, probably pursued something that fills our souls in the creative world...maybe we were good at it...maybe we weren't...but have you stuck to it? Have you ever given yourself permission to use that small creative side of yourself without agenda or judgement or expectation of perfection? And how do we define "creative" pursuits? It may be a broader spectrum than you think!

In this episode we talk to Julie Scarlata, mom, and founder of Lalu and co-founder of The Wonder Co., about how we can cultivate creativity in our kiddos without having to sit down with them and do a $65 craft project that we hate. More importantly, we talk about what it means to be creative as adult women - who are also moms - and why we need to let go of perfection. (Tip: we're being WAY too hard on ourselves in that dept.)

Snuggle up, and let yourself lean into this one. You know we hate #selfcare - but is it possible using our brains in a way that stretches our imagination could lead us to a bit more personal freedom and happiness? And also, have we been overthinking "creativity" to the point where we do nothing?

Let us know your thoughts, and enjoy!

Shayna and Tracey have been friends since the 8th grade – that’s over 25 years. After college, they each moved to separate coasts for a decade. They were reunited when they decided to leave big city life and settle down with their families in Denver, Colorado and Facebook told them their daughters are 3 weeks apart. After several play dates, some more childbirth, some unsuccessful pumping, and the overwhelming nature of mommy community boards, The Pump and Dump Show was born.

The show launched in 2012 in a bar in Northwest Denver and quickly grew to a bi-monthly, local staple for new moms to have a night out. In 2014, Shayna and Tracey took The Pump and Dump Show on its first national tour and continue to perform every month to audiences nationwide.
