You want to be making the art that matters, that gives you purpose, energy, and excitement! 

Your creative work makes you feel like who you truly are, like you’re showing up in the world as who you’re meant to be (even if you haven’t shown anyone your art yet).

In your busy life, amidst pandemic overwhelm, it’s so easy not to make time or save energy for creativity, even when it’s the thing that lights you up the most.

When it’s been a while since you last worked on your painting, music, or writing, it feels like something’s missing. You’ve been dreaming about starting (or finishing) that big dreamy project for so long, but you’re not sure how to make it happen within the parameters of your crazy schedule.

I bet you have all kinds of great ideas (like 3 different books, 4 different podcasts, and an Etsy shop), but maybe you don’t know where they fit into your life, and how many things you can take on.

Or, maybe you’re so exhausted that you feel like a wrung-out sponge, and don’t know when any ideas will return. (I’ve been there!) 

Let’s clear away what’s holding you back - I can help you pursue your creative dreams and make them into reality!

(...even without abandoning your partner, selling all your possessions, and moving into a van)

Are you ready to have more...

• Time to devote to creative work and feel-good creativity

• Focus to get the important stuff done, like making daily progress on your songwriting or drawing

• Clarity about where to put that focus and how to begin and move forward with renewed energy and excitement

• Energy to make choices that support your healthy habits and follow through on the stuff that you know will make you feel better

• Self-trust that you can be accountable to your creative practice (not just obligations to other people) in a way that feels fun and nourishing

• Energizing opportunities to play gigs, show your art, or publish your writing, rather than hustling all the time

• Space to actually enjoy your life AND work

… trying to do ALL THE THINGS but feeling paralyzed with overwhelm.

So, you throw yourself into over-researching every angle instead of starting one thing, and never make much progress on anything.

You’re too busy to check in with yourself about your most important plans, and what you actually need, so every week slips by. You’ve had “start that novel/painting/album” on your list forever, and waiting for your anxiety to magically get better “when you have more time” isn’t working. (It’s a trap!)

When you finally give yourself permission to take a day off, you can't even enjoy it. You feel guilty the whole time, because you feel that you need to do more before you’re allowed to relax. Even self care might be stressing you out, as it adds to your already long to do list.

Maybe making that reliable income always comes before your creative practice (music/art educators, I see you!), even when you don’t want it to be that way.

Or, you have periods of creative productivity where you make progress on that new piece, but can’t keep the momentum, because there’s always a fire hose of other obligations. You often feel like you’re letting people down, especially yourself.

You want to pursue your big creative dreams.

…like designing that tarot deck, starting that Etsy jewelry shop, or building a website to showcase your photography.

You also want to actually enjoy your life.

…but it always feels like being responsible and productive needs to come first.

Plus, it’s a little scary when you don’t know exactly where to start.

What if you could…

• Feel confident about setting boundaries and cutting out activities that deplete your energy, so you can avoid burnout and make more time for what matters

• Intentionally and seamlessly integrate healthy habits and self care into your daily life to replenish your energy

• Easily decide where to best focus your energies and how many projects to take on at once, so you know that you’re actually making progress and building momentum with your creative work

• Learn to structure your time and plans in a way that’s flexible enough to adapt with fluctuating energy levels (even if they’re low!), so you can actually stick to your to do list and feel good about it,  without working nonstop

• Trust your own timing and ability to get enough done at a sustainable pace, leaving space to actually enjoy your life (you’re not a robot!)

• Cultivate a mindset of self-compassion that will help you move forward through challenges, creative blocks, and times of low energy

Your creative work is an important part of your whole, full life.

It’s both/and, not either/or.

Yourself, exactly as you are right now (that’s perfect), and an openness to growth. 

I bring:

• Compassionate support

• Accountability to help motivate you through the hard stuff
