All creatives feel uninspired sometimes. We hit points when things feel off, we feel disconnected from our vision and unclear about our direction. When this happens, a good check-in with our creative inspiration and direction can bring back so much clarity and motivation.

So in this video, I take you through four steps to check in with your creative direction. These steps are also the four parts of a new course I'm working on: The Creative's Compass.

As humans and as creatives, we are constantly changing. Our identities shift, our interests change, and with it, the vision for our creative lives are in constant development. Lots of us are thinking about the year ahead right now, and what we want in our creative work.

In this video, I tell you about losing my vision, reflecting on the past year, and my intentions for the year ahead. And I talk about what it’s like to form or change your creative vision, for projects and for your creative life.

Had any good ideas lately? Sometimes it's hard, right? The inspiration well feels completely dry and you could use some new ideas. In this video, I share the three step process of coming up with and developing ideas for creative projects. Whether it's a big or small project, you can use this process to find new ideas as well as develop them.

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.

We all want to find our own distinct voice and style in our creative work. Regardless of whether you are an artist, writer, photographer, blogger or musician, you want to stand out somehow, and stand out as you. But how do you discover what makes you unique, and how do you start developing a style that is truly yours?

In this video, I share five exercises you can do to hone your creative voice and find your creative style. As a creative coach, it’s part of my job to help creatives uncover their style. It always takes some digging and experimenting, but the keys to your creative style is there, inside of you.

Pursuing creative dreams or making big life changes can be completely overwhelming. So much needs to happen, the way there is so long, and we don't know if things will even work out. But it's all worth it when it's something you truly want.

In this video, I take you along building a long-term strategy towards big dreams, goals and life changes and then breaking it all the way down to the small everyday activities you can do. I also share how my strategy towards a slow and creative life looks, and talk about patience and the importance of enjoying the journey.

Finding your WHY in your creative work and life can be such a source of clarity and direction. In this video, I share why having a why is so helpful and how you can find yours. We go through the two different whys - your personal why and the broader message of your work - and how you can dig into them both.

Oh the feeling of having a clear vision for the creative work you want to bring into the world! It’s not just a lovely, inspiring feeling, it’s also a great tool in your creative projects. In this video, we talk visions, why we need them, how you can clarify your vision and then capture it in a vision board!

I love vision boards. I love making them, and I love using them to remind me of my vision throughout the creative project. They help you find that inspiration and motivation again when you might start doubting your ideas along the way. So let’s make a vision board!

Oh January - the time when everyone is talking about setting goals, making resolutions or choosing a word for the year. Setting goals for our creative work can feel inspiring and empowering, and it can help us find focus and move forward.
