Shameless Leadership 252: Beryl Young: Finding Your Creative Self After Motherhood
Beryl Young is a Shameless Mom to her 8-year-old daughter, as well as the founder of Recapture Self and creator of Momtography® photography classes. Inspired by Beryl’s traumatic entrance into motherhood, Momtography® began in 2011 in the DC Metro Area as a creative business experiment. Over the past 7 years, Momtography® has expanded to include an online learning experience and local classes across the US taught by licensed teachers in 12 cities. Beryl calls herself a creative coach who grants women permission to seek an identity beyond motherhood using creativity as a tool for living a bigger, bolder, more meaningful life.
Beryl is a highly inspired and creative woman who will motivate you to seek new creative pathways for sure. I had so much fun chatting with her and I’m pretty sure she will spark something in you as well.
It can be very challenging to find creative outlets when you are managing the overwhelm and necessary nitty-gritty of motherhood. Beryl is going to teach you how to start digging into creative spaces in simple and fun ways.
