Hi! We're Carolyn & Jen
Hi! We're Carolyn & Jen
We founded The Creative Break because we understand what it's like to be a busy woman who's lost touch with what brings you joy. Maybe you're scrolling Instagram late at night, looking at other people having fun while you're meal planning for the week. Maybe you've forgotten what it feels like to do something just because it makes you happy.
We get it. We know how hard it can be to prioritize yourself when everyone else's needs come first. How you can feel guilty for even wanting two hours to yourself. How you might not even remember what joy or fun feels like anymore.
That's exactly why we create supportive spaces where creativity becomes the break your tired mind needs, not another task on your to-do list. Where you can show up in your comfy clothes and feel completely welcomed.
Our gatherings focus on play over perfection—giving you permission to truly relax, have fun, and connect with amazing women who share your journey.
What is The Creative Break?
What is The Creative Break?
The Creative Break is where busy women can forget their to-do lists, embrace imperfection, and prioritize play over perfection as essential to their good health. It’s a creative wellness community where creativity becomes restorative rest from life's overstimulation and burnout and play sparks joy and innovation.
While other experiences focus on artistic outcomes or skill-building, we understand you're not looking for another thing to be perfect at. You're looking for permission to let go—to put yourself first for once, to focus on yourself without interruption.
Our judgment-free gatherings help you rediscover that lighter version of yourself—the one who hums while doing dishes and picks colorful scarves just because they make you smile. Because taking two hours for yourself doesn't make you selfish—it makes you a better mom, partner, and colleague.
Ready to change your life? To trade that constant overwhelm for genuine joy and connection? To show up as the more playful version of yourself that you've been missing?
If you're tired of running on empty while caring for everyone else, and you're ready to give yourself permission to pause, play, and prioritize your wellbeing—we're here for you. Your creative break is waiting.
Join the Fun!

Ready to Take Your Creative Break? Your journey from overwhelmed to inspired starts with a single gathering. Join us for our next 2-hour creative experience where you can pause, recharge, play, and connect with amazing women who truly understand your journey.
A Welcoming Space for Everyone: We celebrate all women, all backgrounds, all experience levels, and all ways of being creative. Whether you're a seasoned artist or haven't touched art supplies since elementary school, you belong here. Come as you are—this is your judgment-free zone.
What to Expect: You'll walk into a bright, welcoming space where tables are set up for both creating and connecting. After grabbing your favorite drink and a name tag, we'll start with gentle introductions—just your name and one word describing how you're feeling today. Then comes the fun part: 60 minutes of playful creative exploration with everything you need already set up and ready to go. We'll wrap up with optional sharing and reflection, where lasting friendships often begin. You'll leave with your creation (if you want it!), access to our online community, and that quieter, calmer feeling you've been missing.
Practical Details: • All creative supplies provided • Coffee, tea, and snacks included • No experience necessary—just bring yourself! • Free parking available • Intimate group of 12-15 women maximum • Wear comfy clothes that you don't mind getting a little messy in.

Questions? We've Got Answers
Q: I'm not artistic or creative at all. Will I feel out of place?
A: Absolutely not! Most of our members say the same thing when they first join. Our gatherings focus on play over perfection—there's no right or wrong way to create. You'll be surrounded by women who are here for the same reason: to have fun, not to make museum-worthy art.
Q: What if I don't know anyone? Will it be awkward?
A: We've designed our gatherings specifically to help you connect naturally. Our facilitators create a welcoming atmosphere where conversation flows easily, and many lasting friendships have started right at our tables. Plus, remember that bring-a-friend pricing if you want to come with someone!
Q: I feel guilty taking time for myself. How do I get past that?
A: We totally get it—most of us have been there. Remember that taking care of yourself isn't selfish; it actually makes you better at caring for others—you are giving your mind the break it desperately needs. Think of it as essential maintenance, not a luxury.
Q: What should I wear? What should I bring?
A: Wear comfortable clothes you don't mind getting a little messy (think: your favorite weekend outfit). We provide everything else—supplies, snacks, and even name tags!
Q: What if I can't make it last minute?
A: Life happens! We require 48-hour cancellation notice, but we absolutely make exceptions for emergencies. Just reach out and we'll work with you.
