    You can spend your life doing what you hate and still fail. So why not do what you love?

    Good morning and welcome back to Creative Parenting Club. This week on CPC, we’re joined by filmmaker Jamie Effros and actor Jake Hart, creators of the short film Big George, for a conversation about creative work, family life, and how those two constantly reshape each other. What makes this episode especially interesting is that Jamie is not a parent, yet he created a deeply personal story about fatherhood based on the lives of artists around him. Together with Jake, who stars in the film alongside his daughter, the conversation moves beyond the film into the realities behind it. We talk about creativity as instinct, about building a life around what you care about even when it is unstable, and about how parenthood shifts your relationship to ambition, time, and responsibility, as well as the less visible side of creative careers and what success actually means over time.

Creative Parenting Club is for parents who are leading creative lives: whether that's a business, a practice, a project, or simply trying to find time for long-lost hobbies.

    Resilience Is a Talent

    Good morning and welcome back to Creative Parenting Club. This week on CPC we present a new episode of the Creative Parenting Podcast with Emo Rugene, a DJ, community builder, and father from Kenya who has been living in Berlin for more than a decade. Emo is involved in several creative communities across the city, from music to running culture. Alongside his work as a community manager in the footwear industry, he is part of projects such as In Living Colour and Run & Rave, initiatives that bring people together around music, movement, and shared cultural spaces. In the conversation, Emo speaks about the path that brought him from Kenya to Europe, from starting a shoe brand and studying in Austria to building a life in Berlin while raising two children. His story includes questions of resilience, identity, and the unexpected directions that careers and family life can take. We also discuss parenting from the perspective of a father raising children between cultures. Emo explains how he approaches creativity at home, why asking questions can sometimes be more useful than giving answers, and how he tries to pass on confidence and cultural roots to his children.

    When you learn as you go

    This week on CPC, we’re sharing a new episode of the Creative Parenting Podcast with Stasya Mindlina, an event organizer and editor, now part of the Kinder Rave and Creative Parenting Club team, and a single mom who fled Kyiv for Berlin following the full-scale invasion of Ukraine. In this episode, Stasya speaks about building a life with a young child abroad and navigating the demands of single parenthood. She discusses safety, routine, and the importance of reliable support systems. She also talks about spending time together with her child in everyday life. From moving through the city together to dancing wherever possible, she describes trust, closeness, and moments of fun within daily routines. Creativity appears here as a practical resource rather than an identity, a way to maintain energy and presence while carrying full responsibility for the family.

    Holding Two Worlds

    Good morning and welcome back to Creative Parenting Club. This week on CPC, we’re publishing a new interview with Berlin-based musician, singer, saxophonist, and maker Jessie Evans. For more than two decades, Jessie has worked in music, spending years touring extensively around the world. Over time, and especially after becoming a parent, the balance between life on the road and life at home began to shift. In this interview, Jessie talks about making art with limited time and how parenthood has reshaped her relationship with work, alongside creative frustration, financial uncertainty, and learning patience with her children in a much more constrained rhythm of life.

    Is There Life Between Touring and Parenting?

    Good morning and welcome back to Creative Parenting Club. This week on CPC, we’re sharing a new episode of the Creative Parenting Podcast featuring Christ Burgstein, also known as Los Cabra, a DJ, music producer, and founder of the Friction Department. Christ has spent years touring, organizing events, and working deep inside nightlife culture. A few years ago he became a father and, like many creative parents, found himself questioning long-standing routines, priorities, and professional paths. In this conversation, Christ talks about balancing a creative career with family life, the lack of time for music, and the internal tension of stepping back from a profession shaped by night work and constant movement.

    Strong enough for Parenthood

    This week on CPC, we’re sharing a new episode of the Creative Parenting Podcast with Rodrigo da Matta, singer, musician, cultural producer, and founder of Bossa FM, a platform dedicated to promoting Brazilian music and culture across Europe. Three years ago, Rodrigo became a father to his daughter Yasmin. Since then, his creative instincts have taken on a new form. Parenting, in his case, looks physical, playful, and improvisational. It’s about presence, movement, humor, and learning how to stay balanced while holding a lot at once.

    Groove Is In The Heart

    Good morning and welcome back to the Creative Parenting Club. This week on CPC, we’re sharing a new episode of the Creative Parenting Podcast with a special guest: DJ Dmitry, musician, producer, and co-creator of the iconic dance band Deee-Lite. When this conversation was first suggested, we summed it up: “We’ve got ourselves a legend.” And while you might not immediately recognize the name, you definitely know the music. Deee-Lite’s Groove Is in the Heart became a global anthem. This song influenced the sound and visuals of 90s dance culture. This conversation goes beyond Dmitry’s music career and into everyday family life. In Berlin, he’s a parent at Kita pickup, unmistakably funky-well dressed, and raising three kids while continuing to make music with his wife and musical partner. Like so many of our guests, Dmitry doesn’t pretend to have parenthood figured out. He reflects honestly on the process, the contradictions, the limits of time, and the joy. He also reminds us that creative parenting isn’t about perfection, but about showing up, staying patient, and being present. Press play to hear the full conversation. New here?

    Changing lives

    This week on CPC, we’re back with our latest edition of the Creative Parenting Podcast: this time with Sway Clarke, musician-turned-parenting coach and AI guru, who has found new outlets for his creative talents since becoming a father five years ago. At the end of the last decade, you might have encountered Sway touring in LA, London, or countless other cities throughout the world — today, you’re more likely to find him at the playground, creating educational resources for other parents, and serving on the board at his kids’ preschool. In between, he’s utilizing his creative and technical skills to help small businesses implement AI in their workflows, while designing videos and courses focused on empowering overwhelmed parents by emphasizing inner work, breaking generational cycles, and fostering resilience via connection and mindfulness.
