Below are two different personas I work with and ways I believe I can help you to honor your creative. Maybe you identify with one or all of them, maybe none. If one stands out to you, this would be great to bring up in our first call!

Persona 1: You are afraid of choosing the “wrong” path or writing “bad” copy. You want to be able quiet your judgemental voice and make something authentic to you. Invite your critic to rest and create.

Maybe you grew up in a household that had a narrow idea of what success could and should look like. You’ve checked many of the boxes of this success vision and are feeling empty and unhappy. 

You may come from a dogmatic belief system or institution that had strict ideas of morality -- this could be religious, educational, political or even an influential individual (a guru). If there was strict adherence to an ideological framework, you may have felt your ideas viciously challenged, your differing thoughts shamed, and your curiosity annihilated. 

If any of this is near the truth, I’m sorry, and I am with you.

How we work together - Honor and quiet the critic

Together we can work on building a tolerance for unknowns uncertainty, and complexity. There is no “one way.” Often if not always, many things are true at the same time. 

I offer a space where multiplicity is allowed -- multiple perspectives can co-exist. We can explore questions you have about yourself, society, politics, religion, educational institutions. I will meet your curiosity with openness and curiosities of my own. 

We will build towards a greater sense of alignment with your own values, what you want out of your life and how you want to live it. 

Persona 2: You have a creative project you’ve been wanting to do for a while…months, years, possibly decades. You say you’ll get to it when…but the time is never right. Make time for your creative   

You have a suspicion that your current irritability, sadness, and angst is because you are not doing something you know you are meant to do. Though you want to, you feel guilty spending time on these projects. 

You often say that you are “spread thin”, “there isn’t enough time in a day” to get to all the things you need to do. After a busy day or week, even if you do have time, you are so exhausted that you collapse into a doom scroll? 

Some part of you knows you have the time but for some reason, are resisting. 

How we work together - Honor Your Creative 

Together we will figure out how to carve out time for yourself and the creative projects you’ve possibly kept tucked away, left unfinished, or haven't found the time to start. 

We can tackle this with both soft and hard skills. We can look at where these feelings of guilt and resistance are coming from. I can also provide you with real tools to time-block and create the time for you to get to the creative work that is important to you and your spirit.
