The Conscious Creative

One of the most common mistakes I see my clients making before they join me in a one-on-one creative sanctuary, is overcommitting to a creative structure that doesn’t support their capacity. But what if structure when applied intentionally, can become the ultimate form of honouring and caring for our creative expression?   What if bringing structure to our creative practise is a way of holding a s...

One of the key patterns I’ve discerned from supporting clients over the last three years, is that their vision of success when it comes to their writing and self-expression rests solely on the end result; on the finished book, and more specifically how people will receive it.   These women have wanted to write a book for as long as they can remember… but they’re also weighed down by so much fear t...

After three years of supporting my clients to nurture a unique writing ritual that finally allows them to bring their sacred stories to fruition… I have nurtured a firm understanding of what doesn’t work.   🥀  I have seen how my clients tried pushing through the fear and creative resistance alone.   🥀 I have seen them force a way of writing and expressing that works against their natural creativ...

There is a question that has come to my attention recently… one that can support you to begin pinpointing the triggers and pressure points within your creative process where control takes ahold. I’ve noticed this question comes up for almost all of my clients, and over the last couple of months I’ve become increasingly aware of it within my own writing practise as well.   Because if you want to ge...

I have always believed in the immeasurable value of having a safe, sacred and sustainable space in which one can unfurl into a self-deepening creative practise. For my clients, this is often the last piece of the puzzle when it comes to bringing the book they dream of writing into fruition.   Within this episode of “The Conscious Creative”, I’m going to be sharing the essential framework I use wit...

There’s a book you dream of writing. You’re right there, on the precipice… ready to begin writing. You have all the ideas. All the passion and heart… but no idea where to start.   Here is where all of the clever reasons why “now is not the right time” might present themselves, partnered with all of the self-doubt around your capability, your talents and even your worthiness.   You need to find the...

How many ideas have you abandoned this year? How many drafts of the book you dream of writing are collecting dust in the corner? How many times have you reassured yourself… I’ll come back to it soon. I’ll make the time, when. I can’t right now, I’ll get to it one day.   We all have well-meaning intentions when we make promises to ourselves in January… but I also know how easily life can pull us in...

Speaking as a gentle creative being who self-published my own collection of poetry after a four year creative journey… I have an intimate understanding of what it feels like to postpone and dance around the dream of writing your own book.   For three years I struggled to breakthrough a creative threshold that had me perched on the edge of potential. I had the desire to begin the action phase of my...

Many of the women I support in my mentoring space, share that one of the most coveted feelings they long to experience within their creative exploration… is the feeling of confidence.   Quite often these brave women come into our collaborative space already feeling strong, confident and empowered within themselves. But when it comes to exploring and sharing their creative heart expression with mor...

I know you know the feeling…   One moment you’re focussed and flowing in your creative practise, and the next you meet a fierce and seemingly impenetrable wall of frustration.   All of a sudden you feel stalled, stifled and annoyed at yourself for losing the rhythm. Then you experience an urge… an urge to force your way through it; to fight and force and will yourself back into rhythm. But the mor...

There are several things that happen when we become trapped in a pattern of abandoning our creative work {or delaying our creative calling entirely}.   🍂 The first is the emotional exhaustion that comes with abandoning your creative vision over and over again.   🍂 The second is the subtle and invisible layers of distrust that build within us each time we desert our ideas. Because in turning away...

One of the greatest areas of concern for my “Creative Power” clients when it comes to nurturing their creative expression with confidence, courage, and deep self-trust… is the vulnerability of exploring new layers of authenticity in their creativity, and the deep fear of being seen in their creative truth for the first time.   Within this insightful and gentle episode, we will be looking at the wa...

I have been hearing and witnessing that as a conscious collective of wholehearted women… we are all searching for and desiring more ease.   Ease in living. Ease in being. Ease in the journey.   We are living in a world where stress is normalised. Where busyness is celebrated and praised as a status symbol. We are living in a world where softening into ease can feel like failure. It can feel like f...
