We live in a world that would prefer us to always keep going, going, going. But regardless of what hustle culture says, we need rest as humans and as creatives. Rest is a natural part of the creative process, and to be happy, fulfilled and good creatives, we need to allow it to be.

In this video I take you with me on a snowy walk to a place I like to go when I'm feeling stressed or tense, to find rest and calm. I talk about what rest looks like in this season of my creative life, and how we can embrace creative rest.

It’s time! After over a year away from my book project, it’s time to start a new draft of my novel.

Had any good ideas lately? Sometimes it's hard, right? The inspiration well feels completely dry and you could use some new ideas.

Don’t we all feel lost sometimes? So many of the creatives I work with as a creative coach come to me feeling lost. Unsure of where to go next, what steps to take first, what they truly want and overwhelmed by all the possibilities. So I thought it was about time we talked about this feeling - why do we feel lost? Where does it come from, and what can we do to find our paths again?

In this video, I share three common reasons for feeling lost in your creative life, and what we can do to deal with them. I also share when I’ve felt lost in my creative path and how being lost is something I’ve become comfortable with and actually quite enjoy.
