It's been 3 years since I last had Jenny on the podcast!
Jenny Mouse is a mom of three from Ontario Canada. She had a hard time focusing on school and assignments when she was young and found learning about the brain very helpful. She wrote her first book Brian the Brain Head Space when she struggled to find high quality material about the brain for young kids. She believes that teaching children about their brain from an early age can help them reach their full potential.

When was the last time you tried something new in your creative life? And I don’t mean just switching up your routine or tweaking something you already do. I mean trying something totally different. A medium you’ve never touched, a style that’s not “you,” or even just a bold, scary idea that you’re not sure you can pull off.
If it’s been a while—or if the thought makes you feel nervous—you are not alone. Comfort zones feel... well, comfortable! They’re our safe spaces. And honestly, there’s nothing wrong with leaning into what you’re good at and what you love. But staying there too long can leave you feeling stuck or uninspired. That’s why today, we’re diving into why stepping outside your creative bubble is so important and how you can do it without feeling overwhelmed.

After 17 years as a stay-at-home mom, Laura Rittman felt a bit lost when her daughter went off to college. Her husband reminded her of her dream to write a children’s book, and here she is, getting ready to launch Lucky Ruby! With a background in PR and event planning, she’s excited to be on this new path as an author.
In this episode, I’m chatting with the debut author of Lucky Ruby, a children’s book all about celebrating both Hanukkah and Christmas. The story follows Ruby, a little girl with both traditions, and her classmate Violet, who finds it a bit strange at first—but then realizes just how lucky Ruby is. Inspired by her own life with her Christian-Jewish family, the author hopes this book will help kids learn to appreciate and respect different family traditions and see that, at the heart of it all, it’s about family and love.Join us as we talk about her journey with Lucky Ruby, the beauty of blending traditions, and finding new purpose in this next chapter of life.

How far are you into your 50k words? Let's talk about how we can KEEP GOING!
It’s that time of year again. And no, I’m not talking about the holidays, I’m talking about something very special that happens in November. I’ve attempted it myself yearly since 2019. And that goal is writing 50k words. In 30 days. And before you freak out too much, it’s not the finished, polished novel that you’re going to have done by the end of the month, rather just ugly, beautiful first draft. Novellas can range between 17-40k words, a lot of cozy mysteries I read are also in the 50k range, and if you’re writing a historical fiction or fantasy especially, you can be upwards of 150k words. But to set some sort of parameters for this, 50k is the goal.

More proof that you can be a mom and do ALL the things!
"Genevieve LeDoux is an Emmy-winning producer and a true visionary in the world of content creation. She’s worked with big names like Mattel, Hasbro, WildBrain, Amazon, and Disney, and her creative touch has brought to life some of the most beloved kids’ shows like Tumbleleaf, Baby Einstein, Yo Gabba Gabba, and Barbie. Her background in performing and managing bands, along with watching how her own kids discovered music, led her to notice a gap between preschool music and what’s available for adults. That inspired her to make music a core part of the amazing content she creates.Genevieve has a special gift for blending whimsy with meaningful stories that connect with people of all ages. She’s the creative mind behind Star Forest, an exciting world where music and imagination come together, and this project is all about her belief in the power of dreams and the magic of imagination.
Outside of her work, Genevieve loves spending time with her family, collaborating on projects with her husband Chris, a talented VFX artist, and finding inspiration in her kids. From playing in the backyard creek to family road trips, she believes in staying connected to her inner child, and it shows in everything she does.
She’s also a huge advocate for Georgia’s creative economy and is deeply involved in building up local talent. Her production company, Silver Comet Productions, works with some of Georgia’s best artists and thinkers. Genevieve also serves on the Board of Film Impact Georgia and is a member of WIFT, the Television Academy, and the Creators’ Society.
Her passion for storytelling and creativity drives everything she does, and her goal is to create experiences that entertain, inspire, and uplift audiences everywhere."
A new Star Forest album, Let Me Be Real will be released on September 26, 2024.

You know what I’m talking about—the projects that got set aside when the demands of motherhood took over, and now they’re just waiting, maybe even gathering a little dust, for us to find the time to get back to them.
I’m calling this episode “Reviving Old Projects: How to Rekindle Your Passion for Past Ideas.” Because let’s face it, as moms, our creative energy often gets put on the back burner. But today, we’re going to talk about how to reignite that spark and turn those unfinished projects into something that brings you joy and fulfillment.
So grab your coffee—or let’s be real, that cold cup that’s been sitting out all morning—and let’s chat about how to breathe new life into those creative endeavors.

Becoming a published children’s book author is truly her childhood dream come true. Before pursuing authorship, she worked in the world of real estate for several years, helping people find and build their new dream homes. She is an alumni of Missouri State University in Springfield, MO, where she studied Secondary English Education.
Madison currently lives in the vibrant beach town of Venice, Florida (the shark tooth capital of the world) with her husband and two adorable kiddos.
Her debut picture book, Tiki Tim, was largely inspired by her experience as the "new kid" -- something she understands all too well, as she moved with her family 10 times across multiple states by the time she graduated high school. At the start of the new millenium, she spent some pretty formative years on the island of Oahu in Hawaii -- an experience that also majorly influenced the creation of Tiki Tim and his home of Adventure Bay.
Aside from writing fun, engaging children’s stories, she enjoys playing in the sunshine with her spirited girl and joyful boy, reading a suspenseful, edge-of-your-seat novel beachside or poolside, and flexing her creative passions in various forms (crafting, jewelry-making, sketching, you name it).
She is a gift-giver, a loyal friend, an ocean lover and a bit of a clean freak. She LOVES to read and believes one is never too old to enjoy the magic of a picture book.
