The Dream Project

A 3 month 1-1 coaching package for creatives

Imagine a joyful, balanced creative life where you make your dream project

Here’s my guess. You have a creative project you care deeply about, but that you struggle to move forward with. Am I close?

Imagine you had someone to guide you, support you and cheer you on as you make it. Someone who helped you understand your idea, navigate your doubts and build a strong process forward with it.

Imagine you made that dream a reality. That’s what The Dream Project is about. I lend you all my skills in going from dream, to idea, to creating, to reality. So you can follow your creative dream, without having to do it all on your own.

A dream project is a creative project you dream of. It’s a project that is important to you, that represents a core part of your creative direction and identity.

It’s often a bigger project, or at least significant to you. It might mark a start or shift in your creative journey.

Perhaps it’s still just a vague dream, or maybe you’ve worked on it for a while. Regardless, it’s a project that you care about deeply and want to move forward with.

What is a dream project?

The problem: dream projects are difficult to work on

Your dream project is not like any old project. No, this is a project that will challenge you more than any other. Why? Because it matters so much to you.

Does overwhelm, procrastination and perfectionism sound familiar? Doubting your ability to make it? Don’t worry. I’ve been there too. I’ll guide you through it.

Dream projects represent a core part of your creative identity, and making it forces you to develop your style and voice, figure out your creative direction, and start to become the creative you want to be.

Your dream project isn’t easy, but it’s deeply important. And that why I’m here to help.

Here’s how we work together on your project

I coach, guide and support you to develop your project idea, ground it in your creative identity and direction, move forward in the process of creating it, and develop a deep trust in your unique creative vision.

I guide you through the messy reality of creative projects, I’m there when procrastination strikes, I help you untangle your ideas and identify unhelpful beliefs standing in your way.

I’m there every step of the way to support and cheer you on so that you can move forward with your dream project.

We dive deep together to make your dream reality

Uncover your creative direction

Everything starts with the direction of your creative life. We explore your why, identity, style and values so you get super clear on what you want in your creative life.

From that clarity, you will be much more grounded in your dream project and know how to make it so that it aligns with your unique version of a good creative life.

Develop your project vision

What is your dream project truly about? We dive deep into your project to develop your ideas and give you the clarity needed to move forward.

We cover things like style words, key aspects, message, impact, the right audience and your style of connection. All so that you understand your project and can make it the project you want it to be.

Build your good processes

Alongside developing your direction and project vision, I support you to get creating. We create good plans and break down your project into manageable steps.

I’ll guide you in developing and tweaking your creative habits to design a joyful, balanced and effective creative life. So that you’ll make consistent progress with your dream project and find fulfilment in the process as well.

Grow your healthy mindsets

All through working together, we’ll investigate your mindset challenges around your dream project, like procrastination, perfectionism, impatience, self-doubt and fear.

I’ll guide you to heal your relationship with your project, so that you’re able to make it the best you can while feeling good inside your creative process too.

We gather everything in your project planner

To record everything that we uncover about your creative direction, your dream project, your good processes and your healthy mindsets, you get a project planner as well.

This is a beautifully designed unconventional project plan that we’ll fill out together, that you can use to realign and ground yourself in your project long after we’ve worked together.

The result? Your project is no longer a dream, it’s your creative life.

Dream projects are not supposed to stay in your dreams. They’re deeply important projects that shape your creative journey - and you as a creative.

When you make a dream project, you’re also building the creative life you long for. You explore your creative voice, step into your creative identity, hone a beautiful process.

And what you walk away with is not just progress with a project that is important to you. No, you’ll walk away with a creative life that is your own. One that feels good, on the inside.

What my clients say about working together…

  • “Elin helped me understand how to focus my energy and thoughts in order to be a more externally successful and internally satisfied creative.”

    I can’t say enough good things about Elin. Her unique approach to creative coaching is slow and gentle, yet incredibly passionate and impactful. She helped me bring form to my nebulous creative notions into meaningful, practical, and achievable goals. Elin helped me understand how to focus my energy and thoughts in order to be a more externally successful and internally satisfied creative.

    Elin has been my guide. I consider her a mentor, brainstorm partner, editor, cheerleader, and friend. I trust her and appreciate that she genuinely cares about my success and that of her other clients. I came away from coaching with clear objectives—I now know my “why” and have a strong route to achieve my goals. And although the process will take time, I already see the forward momentum that I had been lacking for years and am excited to see what the future will bring. Elin has helped me change my life!

  • “Working with Elin brought back the joy of art-making and the courage to move forward in a way that is rooted in my values and celebrates the process one step at a time.”

    Talking things through with this soulful human being made all the difference. Elin truly helped me build my confidence as an artist and embrace a more process-oriented way of creating.

    As someone who appreciates a gentle and intuitive approach, I felt very comfortable with Elin’s way of coaching. She’s radiating calm yet encouraging energy and is an exquisite listener. As I shared important life experiences with her and the vision I have for my art, she was able to beautifully draw parallels that I had not seen before. I am grateful that she didn’t tell me what to do but instead helped me uncover the answers I already carried within.

    With Elin’s support, I was able to reflect on who I want to serve and who I want to be as an artist. Working with Elin brought back the joy of art-making and the courage to move forward in a way that is rooted in my values and celebrates the process one step at a time.

  • "My creative energy was all over the place. Always thinking of new ideas, never finishing any projects, feeling overwhelmed, often experiencing art blocks…"

    I've been embarking upon many creative endeavours almost my whole life. But each time my creative energy was all over the place. Always thinking of new ideas, never finishing any projects, feeling overwhelmed, often experiencing art blocks… I felt like every idea I came up with, and every project I ever thought of was disconnected from one another. I couldn't really make sense of this creative mess. I craved more focus and I wanted to realign with my core values; I needed a direction. When I found Elin's coaching program I immediately knew it was exactly what I needed.

    I loved every minute of it! Through the series of insightful questions and conversations, she helped me find the links between all my scattered projects and ideas. She helped me find a direction and channel my creative energy more mindfully. I recommend Elin's coaching program to all creatives seeking more clarity and support in their creative lives.

  • “I gained much more than just finishing a script. I earned a way to view my everyday life differently and gained newfound confidence.”

    I felt lost after college. I knew I wanted to do something, but I was afraid to continue. I lost my drive and felt tired of the go-go-go mentality. I wanted to write, and I wanted to take my time. I decided to take Elin's one-on-one coach program because she was a writer. Elin helped me find the enjoyment in my writing process and how to incorporate it into the daily life that made me enjoy it. I gained much more than just finishing a script. I earned a way to view my everyday life differently and gained newfound confidence.

    We tried different methods: some work, some don't. And it was completely fine. It is all about being in the moment.

    Elin helps you pull out more from the creative piece you create and things you wouldn't think about if you did it alone. Elin is very kind, helpful and enables you to find more enjoyment in the process! Thank you, Elin!

  • “I had had a dream for a couple of years but I wasn’t sure it would ever see the light.”

    By listening to my flow of ideas, my insecurities and concerns about how to get my new project up and running, Elin has provided me with the clarity I needed to work on my dream and make it a reality. Starting from scratch is difficult and Elin has been a huge help through her guidance and reassurance. I was able to keep the momentum going through our regular Skype sessions, and I found the courage to get started.

    Lucie Carpentier, graphic designer & photographer

  • “I worked with Elin for 3 months and she really helped me kick off my project in so many ways.”

    She was kind, patient and very supportive. I was free to share my wins and struggles at every moment, not only during our monthly calls, and she supported me through every step in a totally non judgemental way. Together, we discussed everything, from fear to procrastination, feeling overwhelmed or stuck, and what works best for me in terms of motivation, planning, accountability...

    She's such a good listener and manages to find the right words and solutions to every problems, and helped me create a healthy and inspirational routine to work on my project, kind of like a creative therapy! I couldn't be happier about what I accomplished during our work together and I definitely recommend her to everyone looking for professional support in their creative paths!

We start with a casual chat where you tell me a little about your dream project, and I’ll share my thoughts and how I can help. After the call, you’ll decide if The Dream Project is right for you.

Okay so like, why…?

Why do I help creatives make their dream projects? Well, it’s because I’ve been where you are.

I have two dream projects: my first novel and my creative coaching business. Both stayed dreams for a long time, they were projects I doubted and procrastinated and yet so desperately wanted to make happen.

I didn’t accept them staying dreams forever, and became a creative process nerd. I learned everything I could about moving through fear and building a creative life. I experimented and took note of what worked.

My dream projects are no longer dreams. My novel has gone through many drafts, been with publishers and is now in a state of rewriting for another try at getting it published. And I run a creative coaching business that I love, that is so uniquely my own and that has completely changed the shape of my life.

I’ve created The Dream Project because I know the power of dream projects. Because I’ve been through the messy process both for myself and together with my coaching clients. And because I know that you can make your creative dream happen too.
