Unleash Your Inner Creative with Lauren LoGrasso (A Creativity Podcast)

I’ve never felt more ambitious. I’ve also never wanted more to move into a velvet-lined cave with my baby. Faux fur on the walls, obviously.In my first Pump-fessions episode, I’m ten weeks postpartum, back at work part-time, and recording while I pump. When I’m working, I miss my son. When I’m with him, sometimes I need a break. And somewhere in the middle of all that, I’m making up more songs than ever. Most of them have an audience of one.I get into:-What happened when I started counting the songs I make up for my son as creative work-Why making art can feel scary when you’re afraid of what it might reveal to you about yourself-How I’m adapting my morning practice now that my morning starts whenever my baby’s does-How to stop mistaking creativity with productivity If you’ve been wondering where your creative self went in the middle of a big life change, this one’s for you. And if you feel like you haven’t made anything lately, I have a question for you: What have you been making that you haven’t been counting?If this episode makes you think of someone, send it to them. I love you and I believe in you.Watch the video here: https://www.youtube.com/@unleashyourinnercreative 🎙️ Connect & Work with Me:If you love this episode and want personalized support to break through creative blocks, build confidence, and finally share your work with the world, I’d love to help.

Who are you becoming, and can you let that version of yourself emerge without rushing to figure her out? Whether you’re navigating new motherhood, postpartum identity shifts, or a creative reinvention, this episode is for you.In my first recording since giving birth to my son, Leo, I’m coming to you straight from his nursery. Just you, me, and a mic. I’m talking about matrescence, the transformation of becoming a mother, and why this season feels less like losing myself and more like meeting myself.From believing every cry meant I’d failed to feeling more creatively inspired than I have in years, I’m sharing what early motherhood is revealing about my self-criticism, my power, and what wants to come next. There are songs brewing, a new sense of purpose emerging, and, for once, no plan to rush any of it.In this episode, you’ll hear:How motherhood is putting my wounds, strengths, and creativity under a microscope.The shift that’s helping me stop treating my baby’s cries as a verdict on my parenting.Why I feel called to help mothers reclaim their creative gifts and recognize their power.What I’m discovering about patience, self-compassion, and letting a new identity take shape.No mother is ever “just a mother.” And whatever season you’re in, you deserve room to become the newest, fullest, most creative version of yourself. 🎙️ Connect & Work with Me:If you love this episode and want personalized support to break through creative blocks, build confidence, and finally share your work with the world, I’d love to help.
