  • Bravo Kate!

    Thank you so much Kate for your raw honesty and insight. It’s been a tough road for you these last few years. It’s really refreshing to hear how you are tackling challenges head on, as a mum and an artist. Sharing your experiences will certainly help other creative mums enormously. My boys are now adults, but I remember having to let my pilot light barely flicker over those child rearing years. So I congratulate you! I’m looking forward to hearing your upcoming podcasts.
