THINGS WE OFTEN COVER/
Life/work crossovers
Life can impact creative work in many ways. We focus on finding balance and supporting your energy as a creative - helping you stay connected to your creative direction, even when things get complicated.
Boundaries that feel right
If you're open and generous, it can be hard when others overstep.
We explore how to maintain your boundaries without losing authenticity or connection with the other person.
The debrief
A reflective discussion after unexpected or challenging situations, offering space to unpack ‘what just happened.’ These conversations help to regaining confidence and refocus on moving forward.
Navigating client relationships
Creative/client dynamics can be complex. We discuss strategies for managing personalities, vulnerability, and keeping yourself and your work/business steady and protected.
Friends & family
We help friends and family in trusted roles navigate how to support a creative effectively - respecting their process, without taking on the pressure of being the expert or solving the problem. Instead, we focus on supporting the creative while helping the supporter maintain their own energy and perspective.
The higher you go, the bigger the challenges
For managers, owners, and solopreneurs, challenges become more complex, and it can feel like you’re expected to have it all figured out. Reaching out for help can feel harder than ever, and it shouldn’t. We provide someone who understands, relates, and is fully present - covering you while you cover everything else.
Your creative blueprint
In a constantly changing environment, it helps to understand how your own creativity operates. Identifying and cultivating awareness of how you work allows you to reconnect when creativity feels diverted. This awareness becomes the foundation for sustaining your creative energy and practice.
Maintaining grounded confidence
This isn’t about pep talks. It’s about creating space to reconnect with who you already are and what you already know, so you can step into important moments confidently and authentically.
