It's been 3 years since I last had Jenny on the podcast!
Jenny Mouse is a mom of three from Ontario Canada. She had a hard time focusing on school and assignments when she was young and found learning about the brain very helpful. She wrote her first book Brian the Brain Head Space when she struggled to find high quality material about the brain for young kids. She believes that teaching children about their brain from an early age can help them reach their full potential.

When was the last time you tried something new in your creative life? And I donât mean just switching up your routine or tweaking something you already do. I mean trying something totally different. A medium youâve never touched, a style thatâs not âyou,â or even just a bold, scary idea that youâre not sure you can pull off.
If itâs been a whileâor if the thought makes you feel nervousâyou are not alone. Comfort zones feel... well, comfortable! Theyâre our safe spaces. And honestly, thereâs nothing wrong with leaning into what youâre good at and what you love. But staying there too long can leave you feeling stuck or uninspired. Thatâs why today, weâre diving into why stepping outside your creative bubble is so important and how you can do it without feeling overwhelmed.

How far are you into your 50k words? Let's talk about how we can KEEP GOING!
Itâs that time of year again. And no, Iâm not talking about the holidays, Iâm talking about something very special that happens in November. Iâve attempted it myself yearly since 2019. And that goal is writing 50k words. In 30 days. And before you freak out too much, itâs not the finished, polished novel that youâre going to have done by the end of the month, rather just ugly, beautiful first draft. Novellas can range between 17-40k words, a lot of cozy mysteries I read are also in the 50k range, and if youâre writing a historical fiction or fantasy especially, you can be upwards of 150k words. But to set some sort of parameters for this, 50k is the goal.

Sheâs the creative mind behind Star Forest, an exciting world where music and imagination come together, and this project is all about her belief in the power of dreams and the magic of imagination.
Outside of her work, Genevieve loves spending time with her family, collaborating on projects with her husband Chris, a talented VFX artist, and finding inspiration in her kids. From playing in the backyard creek to family road trips, she believes in staying connected to her inner child, and it shows in everything she does.
Sheâs also a huge advocate for Georgiaâs creative economy and is deeply involved in building up local talent. Her production company, Silver Comet Productions, works with some of Georgiaâs best artists and thinkers. Genevieve also serves on the Board of Film Impact Georgia and is a member of WIFT, the Television Academy, and the Creatorsâ Society.

You know what Iâm talking aboutâthe projects that got set aside when the demands of motherhood took over, and now theyâre just waiting, maybe even gathering a little dust, for us to find the time to get back to them.
Iâm calling this episode âReviving Old Projects: How to Rekindle Your Passion for Past Ideas.â Because letâs face it, as moms, our creative energy often gets put on the back burner. But today, weâre going to talk about how to reignite that spark and turn those unfinished projects into something that brings you joy and fulfillment.
So grab your coffeeâor letâs be real, that cold cup thatâs been sitting out all morningâand letâs chat about how to breathe new life into those creative endeavors.

Becoming a published childrenâs book author is truly her childhood dream come true. Before pursuing authorship, she worked in the world of real estate for several years, helping people find and build their new dream homes. She is an alumni of Missouri State University in Springfield, MO, where she studied Secondary English Education.
Madison currently lives in the vibrant beach town of Venice, Florida (the shark tooth capital of the world) with her husband and two adorable kiddos.
Her debut picture book, Tiki Tim, was largely inspired by her experience as the "new kid" -- something she understands all too well, as she moved with her family 10 times across multiple states by the time she graduated high school. At the start of the new millenium, she spent some pretty formative years on the island of Oahu in Hawaii -- an experience that also majorly influenced the creation of Tiki Tim and his home of Adventure Bay.
Aside from writing fun, engaging childrenâs stories, she enjoys playing in the sunshine with her spirited girl and joyful boy, reading a suspenseful, edge-of-your-seat novel beachside or poolside, and flexing her creative passions in various forms (crafting, jewelry-making, sketching, you name it).
She is a gift-giver, a loyal friend, an ocean lover and a bit of a clean freak. She LOVES to read and believes one is never too old to enjoy the magic of a picture book.
