Claim Your Creativity: A Step-by-Step Guide for Busy Moms

Claim Your Creativity: A Step-by-Step Guide for Busy Moms

Ever feel like your creativity got lost somewhere between after-school activities, cooking, and life’s never-ending to-do list? Trust me, you’re not alone. The good news? You can claim your creativity back—and I’m here to show you how.

Here’s your roadmap, step by step, using my CLAIM framework. It’s simple, fun, and made just for moms like you.

Step 1: The Awakening – “There’s More to Me Than This”

Before you can create, you need to know who you are. Take a little “me time.” Ask yourself:

  • What excites me?

  • What did I love before life got busy?

Try worksheets, quizzes, or reflection exercises. This is about clarifying your creative identity and realizing there’s more to you than your daily tasks.

Step 2: The Discovery – “I’ve Got a Spark”

Now that you’re awake to your creativity, let’s find your spark. Play a little:

  • Take a creative archetype quiz (are you a Dreamer, Explorer, Maker, Creator, or Hybrid?).

  • Try small activities—paint, craft, write, or just daydream.

Give yourself permission to explore without guilt. This is all about discovering what makes you feel alive.

Step 3: The Cultivation – “Let Me Play With This”

Found your spark? Great! Now make time for it. Even 15 minutes counts:

  • Schedule mini creative sessions in your week.

  • Try small projects or fun creative challenges.

The goal here is to build creative habits and start seeing yourself as someone who creates.

Step 4: The Expression – “Look What I Made!”

Time to show off your creativity! Sharing isn’t about perfection, it’s about pride:

  • Post your projects online or show friends.

  • Celebrate all wins—tiny and big.

This helps you gain confidence and keeps your creative energy flowing.

Step 5: The Expansion – “Could This Be a Side Hustle?”

Feeling confident? You might wonder if your creativity could make some money:

  • Learn the basics of selling your creations.

  • Set fair prices and find a way to share your gifts.

This step is optional—some moms just want fun, others want a side hustle. Either way, your creative life grows.

Step 6: The Empowered Creative Life – “This Is Who I Am”

Congratulations! You’ve reclaimed your creativity:

  • Keep growing your skills.

  • Join groups, masterminds, or coaching for inspiration.

  • Keep creating for joy, confidence, and maybe profit too.

This is your new normal—a life where your creativity fuels you every day.

Remember: Creativity isn’t a luxury—it’s part of who you are. Follow these six steps, and you’ll rediscover, play with, and fully embrace your creative life.
