💫 You are invited to the February Sensitive Creatives Meetup! 💫
Let's give ourselves the permission to make what really matters to us!
Hello lovely creatives,
Oh do I have some plans coming up in the months ahead. Workshops, online classes and free events... I'm very excited of course and I hope you will be too.
The first of these is the next Sensitive Creatives Meetup on
Monday 13th February, free, 7pm - 8pm GMT
These are usually on the second Tuesday of the month but I don't want to compete with Valentine's Day (and no I don't have plans because it's not my thing but if you do I hope you have a wonderful time! ☺️💙)
Join me for this monthly gathering of likeminded thoughtful, sensitive souls.
This month the topic will be…
Permission: How do we find permission to create what we dream of - both from others and within ourselves?
Becoming a creative takes real courage. In a culture where we are given mixed messages about the creative path, we can develop a confusing collection of stories that conflict with one another.
We are told following our creative dreams is going to be painful, difficult and potentially financially impossible, but yet it is also suggested - sometimes in the same breath - that we are self-indulgent or avoiding being responsible for persuing them.
You might be finding that this impacts your self-belief, having a negative impact on your ability to take action and make your work happen. You are not alone! We all long for permission and validation that we are doing the right thing.
But ultimately, the only person who can give you permission to create what we dream of is of course…you.
How can you do that? That’s what we’ll look at in this month’s Sensitive Creatives Meetup.
In this session we’ll explore:
- Some of the different places we might encounter gatekeepers who we see as being the givers (or withholders) of permission.
- The stories or messages we are carrying, and how we can rewrite them.
- Practices that we could engage in to feel less limited by these.
- How to identify actionable steps you can take to see the opportunities open to you, and how you can give yourself permission to take them!
Our first event was really wonderful, and I’ve already had feedback that is was useful to those who attended. This month, let’s give ourselves permission to make the work that matters to us!

And of course please invite anyone you know who might like to attend as well 💫
Take care, stay creative and I'll see you soon!

Your opportunity to get your pressing questions as a sensitive creative addressed, multi-passionate creativity, and some thoughts on how to be more visible and feel safer in the process! Hello Reader! Perhaps it's because I grew up in the UK so my subconscious brain believes that I should be on holiday until September, but I always feel like August should be a slightly gentler month with more room for having fun. How I want to spend August. GIF from here Because of this I haven't booked as...
A map for multi-passionate, sensitive creative wanderers Hello Reader, Would you like to hear how watching Lord Of The Rings helped me to think about the challenges and pathways that multi-passionate, sensitive creatives navigate?

Multi-passionate creativity, a new downloadable freebie and pickle costumes... Hello Reader! The last few weeks I've been doing a deep research dive into theories of multi-passionate creativity in preparation for our upcoming Sensitive Creatives Meetup on the topic this Tuesday. What's really shone out to me in this process is how important passion is for creative people. As a creativity coach I support both specialists who focus on one specific form of creative practice, and...
