Good morning and welcome back to Creative Parenting Club.
This week, we’re joined by Beatrice “Bea” Rodriguez, Head of Brand Marketing at Horizn Studios, a Berlin-based travel company.
Like many great parent friendships, we originally met Bea through our kids going to the same Kindergarten. Over time, conversations during drop-offs and pick-ups turned into playground hangouts and have now advanced all the way to podcast interviews.
In our podcast, Bea reflects on how becoming a parent changed her relationship with creativity and brought back something she felt she had lost: the ability to play. We also talk about Bea’s background in gymnastics and acrobatics, the practical side of creative work, experimenting with AI, and what happens when you suddenly have an evening to yourself as a parent.
You can read Part 1 of our conversation with Bea below. If you’d like to hear the full version, press play above to listen to the complete episode.
On a program-related note, this will be our FINAL episode of the Creative Parenting Podcast. We’re transforming Creative Parenting Club and will be moving all of our email communications over to our new Kinder Rave (https://kinder-rave.org) newsletter as of the end of this month (September 2026). We want to thank everyone who has supported CPC until now, and we look forward to continuing the conversation in the Kinder Rave Universe (https://universe.kinder-rave.org/).

There’s No Control Z With Kids
Good morning and welcome back to Creative Parenting Club.
This week, we speak with Travis Hoffart (https://www.instagram.com/travisalexanderhair/), a Canadian hairstylist based in Berlin.
Originally on a different path, Travis shifted from studying business to hairstyling after realizing he wanted a more creative and people-centered way of working. After building his career in Canada, he moved to Berlin, where he eventually opened a private one-chair studio at home, focused on working more directly and closely with his clients.
We came across Travis through his partner Barbara Woolsey (Babxi), who we recently featured.
What stood out was Travis’s perspective on working closely with people, building something of his own, and navigating parenthood while running a creative career from home.
In this conversation, we talk about changing direction, building a life in a new city, and the everyday reality of balancing work, family, and structure.

You Don’t Have to Give Up Parts of Yourself
Good morning and welcome back to Creative Parenting Club.
This week on Creative Parenting Club, we speak with Barbara Woolsey (https://www.instagram.com/xo.babxi/), a Canadian travel writer and DJ based in Berlin.
Barbara grew up in a small town in the middle of Canada, a place that shaped her curiosity about the world and eventually led her into travel writing and music. From studying and working in Thailand to becoming part of Berlin’s club scene, her path reflects a steady movement toward creative expression and new environments.
We first came across Barbara through the nightlife scene, where she was already an established DJ. Around that time, she began sharing her pregnancy publicly, offering a rare look into what it means to be part of club culture as a pregnant woman and later as a mother. Not long after, she joined Kinder Rave, bringing that experience into a space where music and parenthood meet.
In this conversation, we talk about creativity as both work and necessity, how parenthood shifts priorities, and what it means to stay connected to your creative identity while raising a child.
