The Creative Life We Choose with Aimée and Edward Sanchez

In this episode of Curiously, Ericka sits with Aimée and Edward Sanchez for the podcast’s first-ever couples interview, exploring their shared life as artists, parents, and partners navigating creativity, homeschooling, and intentional living. Together, they reflect on what it looks like to build a family rhythm outside of cultural comparison, choosing instead to shape their lives around presence, curiosity, and a deep commitment to raising emotionally aware children. Aimée shares about her work as an illustrator and her instinct toward a slower, more grounded way of living, while Edward speaks to his practice as a creative director and the ways their different creative processes both challenge and strengthen their work together. Along the way, they also reflect on parenting through openness and vulnerability, the role of nature, surfing, and simple rituals like candlelit dinners in anchoring their daily life, and what it means to stay present in the midst of a chaotic world.   show notes:   Aimée is an artist and illustrator who plans to always live near a coast. Her work is held in private collections on 4 continents. She is a bibliophile and loves a proper tiramisu.  Her dog is named for a Southeast Asian Island.   Inquiries to: [email protected] or find her (rarely) on IG @aimeesanchez_art   Edward is an interdisciplinary creative director exploring art, design, and culture.
