This is the coaching I wish I had had when I started out. Even though most people assume I am an extrovert because I can bubble over with passion, it is that very passion that leaves me terrified of set phone times.
Although the internet has allowed us this amazing place to connect anywhere in the world in real time, the very thought of internet failure or a time zone fail had me refusing to offer my services for a long time.
And yet I felt the call to help people through their messy middles. That not enough people talk about what happens in that phase. Too many focus on the spectacular results of caterpillar and the butterfly, and then too many people feel that when the dissolving is too much they have failed themselves.
I want to talk more about that. I want you to know that is where the wisdom is. That is where you are wrapped in a cocoon, even if you yourself do not know it at the time.
I once read a great quote, if it isn't ok it isn't over.
I want to help you through that, and get you creating again.
At your time when you need it. You express what you want to share.
And I give you my reply back with your homework.
This is not for people who want to cure just simple writer's block. I am not going to give 101 prompts to fight your block. This is life and making creativity the center of it.
And since I really do not want money to ever be a factor, and you really can not afford it then do me and you a huge favor.
Jump on Kindle Unlimited and get my journals for free. And if you do not have KU, these journals are never more than 4.99 in ebook form. And I often have the need of reviewers to review them for free. So email me and ask!
I have your back either way!
And in January you also get access to the Creative & Vibrant retreat for free!
I gathered the amazing women who are the presenters and interviewees in this retreat because I wanted to offer a retreat that not only embraced creativity and healing, but much more important, did it in an accessible and inclusive way.
I wanted this to be open to women who didn't have the ability to travel, either because of money, time, childcare or other mobility constrictions. I believe passionately in the ability for creativity to heal. And I believe that like Andre Lourde said
“Caring for myself is not self-indulgence, it is self-preservation, and that is an act of political warfare.”
And in this time, now more than ever, I believe we can not give up our creativity.
Not only can creativity heal us, it can heal the world. Creatives can imagine a world that is different from the one they are in. They create books that reflect back to us what needs to be changed and give us hope about what can be. They make pictures that change our lives when we realize what we are doing, and what we should be doing instead. They create music that can break our hearts and then mend them afterwards.
Creativity is not an indulgence, it is an act of self-preservation and an agent of change.
And one that can heal us as it heals others. How wonderful is that!
And so I gathered this diverse group of amazing women to talk about all kinds of aspects of self-care.
Creativity for healing through challenge and grief, using meditation to help you cope when life gets crazy, but also as a treat to yourself.
We also cover nutrition and family life, caring for yourself inside and out. And the common theme is that we can do this. even in what I like to call the "Messy Middle."
"The Messy Middle" is why I created The Creative Mermaids, my creative coaching start up. The long and the short of it is, the messy middle is life. Too often we feel that we need to wait for the muse.
Or that we can not be creative because it would be an act of indulgence in a world gone mad. Or we just think that we are not good enough, or the time is not right. The time will never be right. No one has it figured out. Like life creativity has cycles. And this is where the messy middle is. Learning to roll with it or learning to lick our wounds before we stand up again. There is no one size fits all.
But this retreat, and the women in it, will give you the tools to start working out your own solution.
