Think you need hours of uninterrupted time to be creative? This episode will change your mind. Kathleen shares why waiting for "enough time" keeps you stuck, and how five-minute creative practices can transform your relationship with creativity as a busy mom.

You'll discover six practical rituals that fit into your real life—from passenger seat stitches to scribble drawing play—plus the exact strategies to make them stick. Because creativity doesn't have to be all or nothing, mama. You can be both present with your family and connected to your creative self, five minutes at a time.

You'll hear about:

• Why five minutes of actual creating beats an hour of waiting for perfect conditions
• Six practical creative rituals (passenger seat stitch, waiting room sketch, family time stitch, scribble drawing play, evening wind-down, Sunday planning)
• How to make creativity stupidly easy to start with habit stacking
• Why three messy stitches count just as much as a finished masterpiece

Takeaway: You don't need hours to be creative. You just need five minutes and permission to believe those five minutes matter. Your creativity doesn't have to be all or nothing—you can maintain your creative identity even in the busiest seasons.
