I didn’t realise I’d lost my creativity until everything felt a bit flat.
Life looked “fine”… but I didn’t feel like myself.
If this sounds familiar, I’m opening something this week for women who want to gently get cracking again with their creativity.
Message me if you want details.

Hi,
If you’re stuck with your creativity, try this:
• Choose the smallest possible next step
• Make it specific enough that you could start now
You don’t need a grand plan — you just need a beginning.
