Caregiving As A Creative Calling
One of the best gifts of our Exhale community is the way we encourage one another in our creative pursuits during our various seasons of parenting. We know that our creative lives enrich and inspire the experience of motherhood as much as motherhood inspires our creative lives. In Episode 83, we have the opportunity to learn from author Andi Ashworth, whose books offer a renewed vision for caregiving as a creative calling.
Bio: Andi Ashworth is the author of Why Everything That Doesn't Matter, Matters So Much and Real Love for Real Life: The Art and Work of Caring. She is Co-Founder of The Art House in Nashville where she served for over two decades through hospitality and mentoring. Andi holds an MA in Theological Studies from Covenant Seminary in St. Louis. As Editor-In-Chief of the Art House America Blog she stewarded hundreds of essays from a variety of authors such as Tish Harrison Warren, Russ Ramsey, Luci Shaw, and our very own Callie Feyen. She has been married to Charlie Peacock for nearly fifty years and they have two grown, married children and four grandchildren.
