Welcome to Parenting Creative, a podcast that explores the places where creative life and parenting collide, and all the magic and mess that ensues.    

This spring we’ll be launching our first season, where host Nikko Snyder will delve into the creative lives of parents making art that ranges from theatre and music to poetry, journalism and craft. 

Our goal is to build community and connection for those living deep in the struggles of caring for others while at the same time prioritizing their own creative lives. 

Parenting Creative resists the pressure to buy more, hustle harder, and chase the impossible standard of ‘perfect’ parenting. We believe parents deserve to be fully realized humans—and that prioritizing our creative lives makes us better parents.

Through deep, honest conversations with diverse artist-parents who are walking the walk, we explore both the struggles and the real, practical ways to make creativity and parenthood work—on your own terms, in ways that sustain and inspire you for the long haul. And we do it in community—because neither parenting nor creative life can thrive in isolation.
