Dear creative mind,

Recently, I've been reflecting on a significant hurdle that many of us face in the creative community—the tension between burnout and abandonment.

Let’s be honest— the creative path is a tender one. Digging into your soul to express your deepest feelings and share it with the world is quite the vulnerable process. At times, we find ourselves pushing to the brink of burnout, overworking and exhausting our creative spirits. Other times, self-doubt may lead us to consider abandoning our projects or ideas. This oscillation between extremes can hinder our progress and limit the true potential of our creative work. 

This exhausting dance often arises from certain myths and beliefs we carry as creatives, such as the idea that we should create in isolation.

However, here's a comforting truth: you were never meant to walk this path alone. Embracing the support of others can not only prevent overworking but also elevate your creative work to new heights. Your projects and ideas can flourish when nurtured by the collective strength of a supportive community.

It’s time to liberate yourself from the narratives that hinder your growth and stifles your self-expression. Together, let’s pave the way for a more empowering story to be written.

Whether it’s through private coaching or community support, I’m here as your  gentle companion on the rebellious path of creative living. As your coach, my goal is to help you set a clear direction for your creative mission, illuminate the path to get there, and identify actionable steps you can take. Together, we'll build the practical tools and inner resources needed to navigate the twists and turns of this transformative process.

The core of our coaching journey is all about (re)discovering what is true for you as an artist and taking brave steps together to align your actions with your intuition and muse. In the sacred space of our coaching sessions, we'll get curious, experiment, play, and embrace mistakes as stepping stones to growth. I'll be there to provide unwavering support as you navigate the discomfort of the unknown and face the vulnerability that comes with creative + business explorations.
