What if we got this right?
We must take the time to ask ourselves what it is we want to create - or else we can’t create it. Creativity and arts-based methods help us to (re)connect with where we are, and explore new realities and the path to get there.
My workshop, Transform your life through collage, will take you through a process to reimagine what you’re doing, slow down and enjoy what you have, and support your next steps towards a path you deeply, perhaps unconsciously, want.
Learning to say no (even when you doubt yourself)
Saying no is hard but necessary - here are three exercises to help. Fear/FOMO can confuse possibility with probability but protecting your energy and creative clarity is a leadership move.

But why wait until everything is ‘just right’ to get started? Here are some free action prompts to support you to keep moving.
What do you need right now?
So many of us have been conditioned to postpone our own needs in order to earn a place in society. Our bodies, culture and relationships can reproduce the dynamics that disconnect us from ourselves and each other. And so, the simple question, “what do you need right now?” can be a beautiful starting point to reconnect, when done relationally.
