No. 131: Maggie Lynn Negrete – Finding Rhythm in Motherhood

“I want to know ease. That’s the focus. I’m on flow.” – Maggie Negrete

This week on The RuggedAngel Cast, I reconnect with Maggie Lynn Negrete, a talented illustrator and member of the Not White Collective. We explore the profound impact of motherhood on her artistic journey and the constant quest for balance. Maggie shares her return to music as a source of joy for herself and her family, emphasizing the importance of finding moments of ease amidst the demands of parenting, especially during the pandemic.

Our conversation delves into shared challenges in motherhood, such as the mental load’s effect on creativity, and Maggie’s transition from traditional illustration to digital art, which has revolutionized her process. We also discuss the struggle of maintaining an artistic identity while navigating the post-COVID world and the pressures of hustle culture.

Join us for a candid discussion about the seasons of life, the significance of community, and the therapeutic power of art and music. Don’t miss Maggie’s previous appearance in episode 60, and enjoy her triumphant return as RuggedAngel number 131.
