Slow creative moments are my some of my favourite moments in life. Shaping those moments and folding them into my life is how I have pursued slow living and a more creative life over the last couple of years. Pursuing a slow life and creative ideas can be a bigger life-change, but we can also do it in our small, every day moments.

Sometimes it's difficult to sit down and create and find that right mood and flow though. Having a ritual to begin your slow creative moments can really help set the mood. In this video I share my own ritual and the things I do when I need something extra to get into the moment.

Oh those early days of a creative project! The days of dreaming, of wondering, of making visions and dipping your toes. But also - the days of self-doubt and overwhelm and paralysis. That is what I'm talking about in this video - the beginning stages of a creative project and how you can navigate them.

Way too many projects end before we've barely gotten started. We get stuck in those beginning stages and never make our way through them. But we can, of course, YOU can - one step at a time.

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!

Spring is finally on our doorstep and it's time to plan for spring. I have planned my creative work seasonally for a little over a year now and I'm enjoying it so much. I think you will too! Seasonal living is a wonderful part of slow living and blends very well with creative work.

In this video, I take you through my process of planning for the season ahead. We go looking for spring signs and talk about how spring affects our mood, energy and creativity as well!

Oh have I got some big news for you! After years of daydreaming, after months of planning, it's finally happening - I’m taking the leap. I'm taking my creative coaching business full time and pursuing a full time creative and slow life. I’m so very excited and so very outside of my comfort zone and I can’t wait to take you along.

Many of us pursue creative projects and slow living on the side of a full-time job. It can feel challenging and like time is always sparse, but I have done it for many years now and it's absolutely possible. In this video I share what I think is the biggest struggle, yet something we rarely talk about - and give you my tips for doing creative work and living slowly alongside a day job.

Making time for creativity and slow living activities isn't about fitting in as much in your life as possible, it's about living with intention.

Our world is obsessed with more and faster. But a growing group of people is pursuing a different path - the one of slow living. It’s a quiet, peaceful movement towards a world with more harmony.

The last couple of years, I’ve weaved in slow living habits into my days and my creative life. It has helped me deal with stress and find balance and calm in my life like nothing else has. In this video, I take you along in some of my slow living habits and share tips and inspiration for shaping your own slow living habits. If you’re curious about making space for more slow and calm in your life, this video is for you!

Once upon a time, I didn’t dare call myself creative. In this video, I share my story of struggling with fear of failure in my creative work when I began my journey. How it held me back from writing the novel I dreamed of writing, and then eventually led me to spending a year facing my creative fears.

Fear of failure and perfectionism is a big source of creative blocks and feeling stuck. If fear and self-doubt is something you struggle with, I hope this video can inspire you, make you feel less alone and find some tools to try. Because all our creative voices matters!

All creatives deal with overwhelm from time to time - and especially in the beginning of a new year. We have just set yearly goals and we’re thinking about how we want to move forward in our creative work. And along comes overwhelm.

The same thing can happen in the beginning of a creative project. It doesn’t matter if you’re a writer, artist, photographer, blogger, youtuber, designer or something else - creative work can be overwhelming.

In this video I show you how to deal with overwhelm, both short term and long term. Because you can do it - you can move forward in your creative projects one step at a time, even it feels daunting right now.

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.

But the wrong kind of goal can become something that just makes you feel stressed and like a failure. So how do we set GOOD creative goals, that actually help and support us to move forward in our creative lives? That's the topic of today's video!

It's that time of the year! In this video, I invite you in for some Christmas decorating and a cosy chat about the creative year we're leaving behind.

Do you also find that your mood, inspiration and energy is very much affected by the seasons? What if we embraced those shifts in our creative work? During the past two years, I’ve researched and explored how the seasons affect us in our creativity and creative work.

In this video, I share the tendencies I’ve found, what kind of creative work each season is best for, and a way to plan your creative work both in tune with the seasons and your creative goals.

Knowing what you want in your creative work and life can be a whole process in itself. Whether it's how you want a new project to look, what you want to create, or a change you want to make in your creative life - it takes some figuring out.

In this video, I give you three tips for when you're finding your direction and working out what you want in your creative life.

It can be difficult to move forward when you’re feeling a little stuck and uncertain in your creative life. But I really believe it’s a state we all can get out of. We just have to understand what’s holding us back and what we can do to find our way through it.

This isn’t a quick fix kind of video. Instead, I share what I believe to be the three key things we need to be able to move forward in our creative work, and how we can dig deeper in each of those areas to get moving again.

Feeling stuck in your creative work and projects is so very common. It has happened to me many times in my creative journey and it's something I often help my creative coaching clients with as well.

But why does it happen? What is it really that keeps us stuck? Sometimes we assume it's just things like lack of productivity and structure, but I think it's almost always something deeper than that. In this video we get into what I believe those things are so we can better understand we why feel stuck.

After a year of living in our house, it was finally time to finish the makeover of my creative room and workspace. I was going for a space that felt calm, inspiring and creative to me, and that was in my aesthetic - earthy, natural tones and materials. Not too modern, not too retro. Simple yet not too simple.
