The Tiny-but-Powerful Secret to Finding Peace in Motherhood That No One Told You About with Ginny Bracht

Ever feel like you’re stuck in survival mode, just trying to make it through the day without losing your mind? Same, mama. That’s why this episode is a breath of fresh air.

 

I’m joined by Ginny Bracht—artist, geologist, and fellow mom navigating a beautifully neurodiverse family—who discovered a totally unexpected, totally doable way to calm her mind and reconnect with herself during one of the hardest seasons of her life. Spoiler alert: it involves zero art skills and takes just five minutes a day.

 

We’re talking about tiny art practices—yes, even doodling on the back of a cereal box counts. In this conversation, Ginny shares how this simple habit helped regulate her nervous system, shift her mood, and bring a little beauty into the chaos of motherhood. You’ll also hear how to get your kids involved, what to do when your brain tells you “you’re not creative,” and why the process matters way more than the product.

 

Whether you’re deep in the trenches or just craving a new way to reset, this episode is packed with practical tips, gentle encouragement, and a reminder that you can feel better—starting now.
