#023: Building a Creative Slate & Finding Joy in Single Motherhood with Rebecca Fenton

Written By Nicole Opdenbosch

In this episode, Nicole sits down with Rebecca Fenton—a self-employed media consultant with experience across TV, publishing, audio, and children’s books. Together they explore what it takes to develop original content in today’s saturated landscape, how feedback elevates a good project to a great one, and why authors need to think like creative strategists building a slate, not just a single book.

Rebecca shares insights from her career developing content for Audible, Line Pictures, and literacy nonprofits, and reflects on what it means to take creative risks after going freelance. She also opens up about her inspiration for Mummy and Me (available in the U.S. as Mommy and Me), a beautifully illustrated children’s book that celebrates the everyday joy of single parent households.
