Summary: When I was creating the Crafting my Life online class, I wanted to interview someone about embracing your inner artist. I got in touch with my friend Amanda, who you may know better as PoMo Mama. Amanda is an in-real-life friend – we escaped for a weekend away together last year. She’s also a mother, writer, student, suburbanite and artist. Plus, she’s just generally awesome. Amanda and I on the ferry Amanda has actually been featured on this podcast before, in my discussion on family size. I love speaking with her, because she’s straightforward and no-nonsense. If you imagine someone who embraces a second career in the arts as prone to wearing flouncy skirts and making woo-woo pronouncements, you’re not imagining Amanda. In my mind, she’s setting a great example of someone who pursues her own interests in, around and in spite of her family, on her own terms. If you’d like to get in touch with your creative side; if you wonder what it’s like to have your artwork no display; if you wonder how you can make that work as a mother, you’ll want to listen to my conversation with Amanda. You’ll find both inspiration and practical help. I’m pleased to be sharing it with you now as a podcast: I’m still working out what I’ll be running next week on the Strocel.com podcast. I have a couple of great interviews in the works, but I’m not ready to make any promises. However, what I can tell you is that it will be worth listening to. Subscribe to the Strocel.com podcast in iTunes, and you won’t miss a minute! Also, if you have a podcast idea, please share it with me. I’d love to hear your suggestions!
